Suitable
for billboards and fascias
Recommended sign panels: Omega–Bond, D-Lite, Econolite
and Alumalite
Econolite
Edge sealing wood core panels in joints between panels is
a very difficult task. Proper edge sealing dictates 1/16"
of uniform caulk in the joint that covers the edges of the
plywood completely. Alumalite and Econolite solve this problem
and can extend the life of your billboards as much as 3-4
times longer than traditional sign panels.
Alumalite
When properly fastened, Alumalite offers plenty of strength,
especially when supported on 48" rail spans to withstand
Mother Nature's worst. Alumalite is also recommended for decorative
fascias and raceways. It resists wrinkling in large-scale
applications and won't “oil can” like big sheets
of aluminum. For reliable stability that allows for expansion
and contraction, you can “float” your Alumalite
panels from angle irons fastened to the building.
Omega-Bond
Omega-Bond panels are extremely flat, durable and moisture
resistant, providing another excellent choice for multiple
panel applications. It's solid core composition prevents bowing,
warping and delamination.
Fascias
While we recommend our Omega-Lite architectural panel for
all architectural applications because of it’s superior
flatness and 20-year paint performance, many of our customers
still choose to use Alumalite for storefront fascias, gas
station canopies and awning-fill or replacement, usually because
of economics.
