There is widespread usage of aluminium signage in South Africa, whether they be for marketing businesses and storefronts, are placed in one of our many different types of industrial facilities to relay instructions or cautions, and even deep underground in our many mines where hazards are a part of daily life and need to be communicated to the people who work there.
This widespread use is no simple coincidence, but rather the result of a slew of exceptional benefits offered by aluminium signage in South Africa that are a direct result of the excellent properties of the metal itself.
So, if you are not convinced, here are a few reasons why aluminium signage is always a good option, almost regardless of what you intend to use it for…
ALUMINIUM SIGNAGE IN SOUTH AFRICA IS HIGHLY RESISTANT TO CORROSION
Corrosion is something that plagues just about any metal product in South Africa, particularly in high-humidity areas such as those found in our coastal regions. Of course, these high humidity areas are not the only ones where galvanic corrosion is a risk.
Wet weather is often enough to provide the right conditions for galvanic corrosion to eat through metal products in just about no time.
Aluminium, on the other hand, shares the property of high corrosion resistance with only a few other types of metals, making them a hardier, far more long-lasting solution than many of the other material options available to you.
PRESERVED QUALITY & COLOUR THICKNESS
Aluminium signage in South Africa is highly regarded for the quality of the prints on the material itself, with aluminium allowing for direct prints on a flat surface, but it also tends to hold ink better than many other material types.
This means that signage is clearly viewable, more vibrant, and retains its quality and condition for much longer, making it a worthwhile long-term solution.
UV & WEATHER RESISTANCE
One of the major reasons for the abovementioned benefit of preserving quality comes because of the exceptional UV protection that aluminium signs offer.
This makes them ideal for outdoor use (which is often where signs are needed most) since they are remarkably resistant to weather effects that would gradually bleach the ink or even decay the material over time.
LOW WEIGHT: HIGH STRENGTH
Another major advantage to aluminium in any form is that it has an excellent ratio of weight to strength when compared to just about any other type of material, but particularly when being compared to other types of metals.
Other materials are generally much heavier, more difficult to fabricate into particular shapes, and often need a more supportive structure to simply handle their own weight.
This drastically limits how they can be used, and where they can be used, a limitation not shared by aluminium itself.
Why?
Because it is both strong and lightweight, it can be easily fabricated to meet a myriad of specifications and is simple to work with when, for instance, erecting the sign itself.
But normally this would come with a certain amount of sacrifice to structural integrity, reducing its strength and durability.
Aluminium signage, on the other hand, still retains a lot of strength while being remarkably lightweight and easy to handle. This also means, that even for the simplest signs, they will last longer, require less maintenance, and less support.
