FAQs
Will this trim work with any street blade?
It’s designed for standard flat aluminum street sign blades with reflective vinyl overlays. Match the blade height and length to the trim for proper fit.
Can I use this trim with decorative or custom sign posts?
Yes—trim mounts around the blade itself, so it works regardless of post style, provided the mounting setup doesn’t conflict.
Is custom sizing available?
Standard sizes are listed, but for large orders or special projects, custom lengths may be possible. Contact our sales team to discuss.
Does the trim reduce the visibility of the reflective blade?
No—the trim frames the blade but does not cover or interfere with the reflective area. Visibility from LED sources and headlights remains compliant.
What finish options are available? Standard is black powder coat. Other powder‑coat finishes may be available by request for bulk or custom orders—reach out to see what we can do.
