  • Colour Substrate recommendations for shop signs please

    Hi all,

    Please could you recommend what you use and how long you could expect the substrate to keep its colour in worst cast scenarios, so I can get an idea of what to use.

    I have up to now pushed the customer towards white because of the problems with fading or is flood coating the way to go.

    Any comments on Sky Bond, Raybond and super foamex.

    Thanks for you help again.

    Ian

    Hi Ian,

    To date I did not have any problems with coloured Dibond or other ACM brands.
    As to foamed PVC- as far as I’m aware its colours are less stable and prone to uneven fading.

    I cannot comment on longevity from my own experience, but on alucobond specs it says UV stability: VeryGood
