Metal Signs for Your Parking Lot

When choosing among the most common parking sign materials, buyers prefer steel and aluminum as the cheapest and most reliable options.
While the first material that comes to mind when mentioning the word “metal” is iron, manufacturers don't use it for parking signs for its vulnerability. Despite the fact that iron is one of the most affordable materials, it is easy to get rusted which is a significant drawback. In the past, steel was used to prevent rust on iron signs but steel is quite heavy comparing to iron, which is less suitable for posting and installing. Aluminum is three times lighter than steel which allows using aluminum signs of different thicknesses.

Common Types of Metal Signage for Your Parking Lot
 
When thinking which metal signs are required to be placed in or around your parking lot, take into consideration that it depends on the number of sections and categories of drivers.  Customers are offered a wide variety of pre-designed signs as well as possible to order metal signs for any specific use. The most common signs installed in the parking lots are stop signs, No Parking sign, fire lane sign and others. 

​Parking sign manufacturers produce a huge number of signs based on the type of material, its thicknesses, and other parameters. For today, metal parking signs are known to be the most popular ones because of their durability. 
 
When talking about temporary parking signs, heavy-duty paper and plastic signs can be installed during short events. Heavy-duty paper signs are considered disposable and environment-friendly being expected to last from 1 day to 2 weeks. Plastic parking signs are more durable than paper, they don't bend or chip being able to withstand lower temperatures.   This is a perfect material for illuminated signs with a high-tech look. In addition, temporary parking signs are a way cheaper than metal though when it comes to permanent usage, metal is the most appropriate choice.

Parking Lot Metal Signs - Installation and Replacement

Sometimes parking lot seems to be a quite disorganized space. A parking lot usually has many sections for different categories of drivers. For this reason, there is a need to point out each of them in which space or section drivers can and cannot park.

​A variety of parking signs can be installed around the parking area. For this, parking lot operators should find out which signs are the most common and which are required to be installed in the parking lots.  
​Parking Lot Safety - Metal Signs Help Prevent Potential Hazards
 
In order to provide parking lot safety, one should install only parking signs made of long-lasting materials able to withstand any weather conditions. There are some specific requirements for metal signage. As most of the parking signs have a rectangular shape, they must go with the rounded corners. Since parking signs are often installed on fences or walls, the mounting holes should be drilled in advance.
 
The size and thickness of the metal parking signs matter as well. For outdoor use, when signs are exposed to seasonally high winds and heat, sturdy and weather-resistant signs should be used. The thicker and larger metal panel, the less likely the sign will bend under the wind's pressure or when attached to the frame.
 
One more requirement is the reflectance of a sign, that is, how dull or bright the sign is during the day- or night time. To be seen at night, a parking sign has to be covered with a reflective film. While most of the metal parking signs are reflective, paper and plastic cannot be covered with a film. One should take into account that sometimes signs are seen at an angle, and specific types of cars observe signs at different angles.
