What kind of sign is that?

Hello.
First, I thought it's routed aluminum, but that would be to heavy.
What material is that?

Thank you.

Looks like Foam with Metallic paint, possibly UDF or MDF but its hard to tell without and detailed close up pic.

could also be reverse routed pvc, cool sign though I like it

Agree with visual800 on the pvc.

Thank you for the replies.
I thought PVC would warp outdoor.

It can, but that depends on what colour you paint it, how much direct sun it gets, the thickness of the PVC, and the density of the foam.

Thick, dense PVC is often used for outdoor signs and doesn't usually warp noticeably unless you paint it black.

the rust raining down from the top is a beautiful effect....

nice sign, bad install

:/

 

[nolanola]

I do not think PVC would be held with the eye hooks like that.

Why is the install bad?

rust washing down the sign makes it look like crap, gotta be a better way

$20 says it was existing mounting hardware and new sign with eyebolts was made to replace.

I disagree. I think it adds the look of a patina, which makes the sign look like actual metal. Give it another 5 or 10 years and it might end up looking like crap, but this level of rust that is on it now looks good, in my opinion.
