6ft wide white aluminum ?

[petepaz]

anyone have a source for 6ft wide white aluminum?
replacing an existing sign for our industrial complex and the last guy did the sign in two pieces. trying to get it in in one shot if possible.
i found some satin finish/anodized aluminum 6ft from harbor sales but i would have to mount white vinyl to it. i was hoping to get a white sheet just
add the graphics to it.
.040, .050 or .060 thick. the sign frame has a back to it so the thickness is not a major factor

have you check normal metal supply houses? (not sign supply)

You need it 6 foot by what is the other dimension?

thanks

Eastern Metal Supply carries 6' x 12' sheets of mill finish....not sure if painting is an option for you.

I think the largest they have pre-finished white is 5' x 10'.

Largest I've found is 66" x 150" white.

I don't know if they have the correct size but you can try Wrisco they are located in wisconsin and have all kinds of aluminum sheets both painted and anodized.

there is a wrisco branch in Edison , nj not too far from me and i already sent a request waiting to hear back

I know they do custom sizing just not positive they do that wide. Good luck hope you find it.

thanks.
worst case i just get the mil finish and mount white vinyl to it. that will serve it's purpose just trying to save a step and no have a seam.

Aren't you still gonna see a vinyl seam ?? Or doesn't that matter ??

certainly not as visible as a seam in the metal

 

[petepaz]

i think the vinyl seam will be less noticeable then the aluminum seam but either way i don't think it matters since the last guy did it in two pieces of aluminum and the landlord had no problems
with it. the main thing is that the building directory is clear and noticeable.

Could you use roll goods of poly, since there's a frame ??

I'm see the same scenario, you want it white, 72" and no substrate seam. with it being mounted to a frame you have the support

 

[J Hill Designs]

roll stock poly is a great idea if it doesn't have to be opaque (even so, I guess you could put blockout on the back)

possibly have to see what's available. what did you have in mind?

Harbo has roll stock 3/16" poly but i think it comes in 76" it would have to be trimmed down (the do it there) like $20 bucks a foot
