Whether we pay attention to it or not, we see and follow signage every day. From identifying storefronts and businesses to providing direction, signs are essential to almost every type of business and area.
When selecting a material for outdoor signage, weathering steel, also known as Cor-ten, is well-suited for the job. Weathering steel signage is not only aesthetically-pleasing but can also withstand outdoor elements better than other signage materials. Weathering steel also mixes well with other materials, such stainless steel, wood and stone, to create just the right rustic, contemporary look.

Over the years, countless customers have incorporated weathering steel into their outdoor signage. Weathering steel can be employed as a post for the sign, used as the backdrop for sign lettering, or custom-burned into different shapes and designs.
