Thick outdoor substrate instead of HDU?

[SignProPlus-Chip]

We have an instance with a print that needs to be mounted on a thick substrate for dimensional purposes.

HDU was requested, but it seem kind of a pricy choice for something just acting as a base for a vinyl graphic.

Extira or laminated MDO would be too heavy...anything else out there that can be used?

hmm. 2 sheets of 1/2" sintra laminated together perhaps? what thickness are you trying to achieve?

1.5 to 2".

Gatorboard? (if exterior, it says not to use black as it degrades quickly in UV light)

Aluminum pan on two layers of 1x1 tube

ACM mounted to some Aluminum channel?

If it's being mounted against a wall, I would consider folding a pan or tray out of alupanel/dibond. It looks good and is pretty lightweight. Make the returns as thick as you'd like.
