Durability and Maintenance
Built from .080" thick aluminum and covered with reflective sheeting, these signs are made to withstand the elements year-round. UV-resistant inks and weatherproof vinyl ensure your street blades stay vibrant and legible for years.
Minimal maintenance is required—just occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Vinyl overlays resist scratching and fading, even in high-exposure or coastal environments.
Sustainability
Our printed aluminum street blades are not only built to last—they're also 100% recyclable. Aluminum offers a long product life while contributing to reduced environmental impact thanks to its ability to be reused indefinitely without quality loss.
By investing in recyclable signage, you're helping reduce long-term waste and supporting sustainable infrastructure.
