Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these aluminium composite sheets outdoors for long-term signage?
Yes, the sheets feature a UV-resistant core and aluminium outer layers that are suitable for external use. When properly fabricated and installed, they provide stable, long-term performance for outdoor signage and light cladding applications.
Which side should I print or apply vinyl to, the gloss or the matt face?
Both faces can be used, but the choice depends on the desired appearance. The gloss side is ideal for vibrant, high-impact graphics, while the matt side is preferred where reduced reflections and a softer look are required. Always follow your printer or vinyl supplier’s guidance for best results.
How can these sheets be cut and fabricated on site?
The panels can be cut and shaped using standard tools such as panel saws, routers and fine-toothed blades suitable for aluminium composite. They can be drilled and edge-finished in the same way, ensuring tools are sharp and appropriate feed rates are used to achieve clean edges.
