How to Choose
If you love the look of weathered, industrial character and do not live directly on the coast, mild steel is hard to beat. It is our most affordable option and every sign develops a one-of-a-kind patina.
For a sleek, modern aesthetic that stays pristine forever — especially in coastal or marine environments — stainless steel is the premium choice. The brushed finish catches light beautifully and requires almost no upkeep.
When weight, easy mounting, or corrosion resistance matter most, aluminium shines. At roughly one-third the weight of steel, it is perfect for apartments, rental properties, and gifts.
