Where to get Alumilite

[brycesteiner]

Hello all,

I've been making some signs and banners and I have a customer who would like it on Alumilite instead of coroplast. I've looked on Fellers and others, but I cannot seem to find it. Is this not a standard, heavy duty, board?

Thanks for any info!
Bryce

Wensco has it.. if you go on the website its under Products - Substrates - metal - Alumalite - then 6mm or 10mm

I would recommend using end caps for it

Why do you recommend the endcaps? Safety? better look? Product degrades?

You can also get it from Pioneer Supply in Pittsburgh.
Or N Glantz.
You can get either Alumalite or any other brand of aluminum composite.
The edge caps (u-channel) give it a nicer finished look.
It's far superior to coroplast, which is intended only for temporary use.
Love....Jill

Harbor Sales carries the material. Alumalite is 2 sheets of aluminum on coroplast type material rather than a solid plastic, end caps would give a cleaner appearance. Not sure if water getting into the corrugation and freezing could cause a problem.
