what would be good substrate for this application?

[shuv76]

Hello, I was wanting to ask what would be a good substrate for a sign outside that is 14 inches tall and 11 feet long. It will bolt on to a brick wall.
The wall is a marquee with other signs on it. They are lit but this one would not be lit. But I want something that is not going to warp and stay flat against the wall. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Dibond? .060 alum?

alum

I'd use 3 mil Dibond with a 1"x1" tube frame behind it. Put a crossmember where the seam will be, attach the Dibond with VHB tape all the way around and the seam will virtually disappear.

Thanks for your input. I think I will go with the 060 aluminun and drill in with concrete bolts, taking care not to bend the aluminum.
Thanks again, Paul

It's probably going to warp.
