What is metal signage?
Metal signage covers letters, logos and plaques made from stainless steel, brass, aluminium or mild steel. Finishes include brushed, mirror, PVD colours such as gold and black, and paint. Metal signs look solid and premium in daylight and can be left unlit or combined with halo lighting.
We fabricate built-up letters with welded or folded returns, laser-cut flat letters from sheet, and etched or engraved plaques. Because metal shows every flaw, we pay particular attention to joints, edges and the final polish before dispatch.
Where it works
- Building names and entrance signs
- Lobby and reception letters
- Plaques, foundation stones and nameplates
- Retail and hospitality signs that need to look premium by day
Material options
| Material | Look | Where it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel 304 | Brushed or mirror silver | Most indoor and outdoor work in Delhi NCR |
| Stainless steel 316 | Same look, higher corrosion resistance | Pools, coastal or chemical-exposed areas |
| Gold / black PVD on steel | Rich metallic colour | Hospitality, luxury retail, reception walls |
| Brass | Warm gold, ages naturally | Heritage, hospitality, premium interiors |
| Aluminium | Light, paintable | Large letters and brand colours |
Lighting options
- Unlit, with daylight and façade lighting doing the work
- Halo-lit, with LEDs behind the letters
- Front-lit, with metal returns and acrylic faces
Finish choices
- Hairline brushed, mirror, bead-blasted
- PVD: gold, rose gold, champagne, black, bronze
- Paint or powder coat in any shade
Care and maintenance
- Clean with mild soap and water, then dry. Avoid bleach and chloride cleaners on stainless steel.
- Avoid scouring pads on PVD and mirror finishes.
- Lacquered brass keeps its shine longer; unlacquered brass develops a patina.
What affects the cost
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Metal grade and thickness | Better grades and thicker sheet cost more |
| Built-up vs flat-cut | Built-up letters with returns take more fabrication |
| Finish | PVD and mirror polishing add process steps |
| Size and detail | Fine detail increases cutting and finishing time |
Common questions
What is PVD gold?
PVD (physical vapour deposition) is a process that bonds a thin, hard, coloured layer onto stainless steel. It gives a gold, rose gold or black finish that lasts much longer than paint, though it can still be scratched by abrasive cleaning.
Will stainless steel rust outdoors in Delhi?
Good-quality stainless steel is highly corrosion resistant in normal city conditions. Surface marks can appear from pollution or iron dust, and usually clean off. For pools or chemical exposure we suggest grade 316.
