Metal plating uses a genuine metal veneer applied over carved HDU or wood — giving the same look and feel as solid metal at a fraction of the cost and weight. The result is a premium, durable sign that’s easier to install and more versatile in design.

Extremely durable. Our plated signs are fully sealed with protective coatings that resist UV, moisture, and oxidation. Bronze, brass, aluminum, and copper finishes hold up for decades outdoors, especially when paired with HDU substrates that won’t rot, swell, or crack.

Yes. We can match specific metallic tones or finishes — from antique bronze to polished brass or custom patinas. Our design team works with your branding guidelines to ensure consistency across all signage pieces.

Metal plated signs typically cost 30–60% less than cast or fabricated metal plaques. They offer similar depth, color, and luster but weigh far less and allow greater creative freedom with size, shape, and detail.

Very little. Occasional cleaning with a mild soap and soft cloth keeps them looking pristine. The protective clear coat prevents tarnish and corrosion, so your sign maintains its shine for many years with virtually no upkeep.
