FAQs

Aluminum vs. ACM—what’s the difference?
Aluminum is solid metal (heavier, very durable). ACM/Dibond® is two aluminum skins with a composite core—lighter, flatter, perfect for walls.

Do I need reflective?
Use reflective aluminum for night visibility (parking, safety, wayfinding).

Will it rust or fade?
Aluminum/ACM don’t rust. UV inks + optional lamination resist fade/scratches.

Which thickness for parking?
.080 aluminum is the classic standard; .063 works for private lots.

How do I mount to a wall without visible screws?
Use 3M VHB or standoffs for a premium architectural look.
