Advantages of Zinc

Durability

  • Solid, one-piece metal (including raised characters and Braille) that will not chip, crack, tarnish, rust, corrode, or fall apart; virtually vandal proof
  • Unaffected by age, light, heat, humidity, or moisture, will not discolor or deteriorate; ideal for both interior and exterior use

Quality

  • Custom architectural signage manufactured to customer specifications
  • Sharp, crisp, fine deep-etched detail up to .080" etch depth (.040" ADA)
  • Natural zinc finishes, translucent tint finishes, paint finishes, and electroplated finishes, all of which can be used in combination with one another
  • Intricate CNC router machining for custom-shaped signs, plaques, and letters

Value

  • Superior cost/value, competitive with photpolymer, and less expensive than brass, bronze, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, and magnesium
  • A very economical alternative to cast metal plaques
  • Can be enhanced with creative design elements, such as custom logos and highly-detailed decorative borders, with no additional cost
  • Fast manufacturing process allows for quick turnaround time.

Environmentally/LEED Friendly

  • Zinc (Zn) occurs naturally and abundantly in the earth. It is mined throughout the world and used mainly for coating iron and steel products to prevent rust and corrosion.
  • Zinc is completely recyclable and presently 36% of the world's consumption is from recycled zinc. All of our scrap pieces of inc are sold for recyling.
