STAINLESS STEEL SIGNAGES

Stainless steel was once seen as the premium choice for signs, but with the advance of manufacturing techniques, there is now a wider choice of materials and more exotic materials are available. However, stainless steel is standing the test of time. Strong, durable and versatile, this long-established construction material is made from regular steel, which is then alloyed with nickel and chromium to create highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel. It is usual to see steel used for architectural and industrial purposes, but stainless steel for pictograms and cut letters add an engaging element to signage.

Our company history has a close affinity with stainless steel. The Global ironmongery, still going strong, made use of stainless steel in every day design elements, such as door handles and bathroom fixtures. It is from the origins of Global that our company, Global signs, then Globalxsign and now xsign is trading.

Manufacturing stainless steel was once quite expensive – mainly due to the addition of chromium and nickel, which are relatively rare elements – but stainless steel has become a more accessible option as advances in recycling has helped to lower the global price of the material.
