• Brushed aluminium

    Posted by Mike Grant on August 10, 2010 at 2:41 pm

    I have to tender for a sign that requires "brushed aluminium" letters.
    Now I have been in this business a long time and for the life of me I can’t ever remember being asked for this. I have done many brushed stainless letters but never aluminium.
    Should I just tell the customer that it would be best to use stainless instead or is ally readily available and I just can’t see the forest for the trees.
    (I don’t want to use dibond stuff as one sign needs to be etched.)

    You can buy brushed alli also, Robert Horne used to do it.
    It has a lacquered face.
