Aluminum EX Sign Shapes: The Simple Extrusion with Endless Signage Possibilities

Aluminum EX sign extrusions are as simple as they sound – aluminum extrusions specifically designed to make aluminum sign boxes, sign box frames, signage mounts, and displays so you can display or hang your sign wherever you desire.

Their versatility enables you to hold any sign face at any size and is suitable for interior and exterior signage. But how versatile are these extrusions anyway? Well, their actual design might be very one-noted, but their use cases across industries and needs are vast and plentiful.

How many uses for EX sign shapes are there?

Again, simplicity suggests there are only really three – to create, hang, or display signage. But it’s less about the seemingly limited use and more about where you can use them.

Use cases for aluminum signage extrusions run across almost every sector, location, and need. Storefronts are a prime example of how to use EX sign shapes and other signage extrusions. Use aluminum sign shapes on the exterior of your retail store, restaurant, office, school, gym or fitness studio, medical office, auto care center, real estate office, and so much more to create your company’s or establishment’s storefront sign.

Additionally, you can use display signage to highlight a promotion for your store – the soup of the day for your restaurant, upcoming events for your school, and, once again, so much more that you need a passerby to be made aware of.

Interior sign shapes are basically the same but used indoors – tradeshows, interior signage, and wayfinding signage (think airports, public transportation stations/depots, and even malls).

So, how many uses are there for EX sign shapes? The simple answer is a lot – you can use aluminum EX sign shapes wherever you need a sign.

But wait, there’s more aluminum extrusions to help with your signage.

While there are dedicated shapes for EX signage, there are other aluminum extrusions to help finish off your sign. All the standard aluminum shapes – angles, hollow tubes, channels, T-bars, and solid bars – can become components in displaying your sign. And z-clips and z-bars are great options for hanging your sign. The EX shapes are dedicated to helping you build aluminum sign boxes or frames for a sign box. But hanging or displaying them may fall on one of these other extrusions to do the job.
