Hello forum.
I would like to know how to make sign cabinets similar to the attached images.
Currently we offer
1/4" ACM signs (the most affordable)
1/2" luster board (this material has a poor reputation for falling apart)
2" or 3" HDU (way more expensive and take at least 20 hours to produce)
I think there should be an option between 1/4" ACM and 2" HDU. A
I like the sign I saw a couple days ago. We used to cut and weld and paint a square aluminum tube and glue aluminum faces to it. It took a lot of time and the signs ended up being more heavy than it was necessary. Now I think that we can use aluminum with thinner walls (1/16" instead of 1/8") and keep it together without welding (VHB tape + Lord adhesive).
Do you have experience with this? Is there an aluminum extrusion that would work better for it?
Thank you.
