What are hanging real estate signs made of?

There are options for various materials when it comes to the fabrication of hanging real estate signs.

The following are the most popular types;

Aluminum: These types of materials are recognized as the hallmark for hanging real estate signs. They come in various thicknesses;

  • .040 Aluminum: A firm material that can easily hang without getting curved or rusting even when scratched. It is light but to avoid the corners from bending, it has to be handled gently.
  • .063 Aluminum: This type of material is much thicker hence cannot form a curve at the edges similar to the .040 aluminum but is many times lighter in weight, apart from being long-lasting as well.

In most cases, aluminum signs are finished by means of high-gloss powder coating processes hence making them suitable for use under any environmental situation or season.

For better night-time visibility, they may have coatings that are made from reflective vinyl materials.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): It stands out among other plastic materials that are made for signage very hard. It hangs quite easily without any curves and can be mounted on various post designs including metal ones. These signs usually have a gloss matte finish and perform well during all seasons.

Polyethylene (Poly): A lot of people use this inexpensive type of plastic because it is strong. During all seasons it gives a soft look but does not bow in towards the center unlike poly; hence cannot be hanged in posts but on frames is ok.
Corrugated Plastic: Sometimes known as Cor-x, this type of material is thin- about 4mm- lightweight and also does not get affected by weather changes. It is however cheap but might look slightly transparent when under bright light situations.

Wall Studs: Mounting a sign directly into the wall is possible with up to fifty pounds weight. Use 2.5” wood screws for drywall and 3” wood screw for plaster walls.

Wall Anchors: Toggle bolts are best for places without any studs. Between 25-50 pounds can be supported on plaster walls with metallic toggles while those made from plastics hold between 10-25lbs.

Rail-Cable Hanging Kit: This adaptable rail allows for hanging with a piece that carries 300lbs per track and fits on any type of wall. Height and position of an image can easily be adjusted through it.

Ceiling Sign Hangers: For hanging from the ceiling, aluminum ceiling sign hangers are ideal. These can hold billboards, large pictures or sign boards.
