Lobby signs, conference room signs, and other interior business signs can be constructed from various types and combinations of materials, such as vinyls, plastics, woods, metals, foams and even glass.  Using the right combination of materials for your sign can help you achieve your aesthetic goals for your sign while at the same time keeping to a specific budget you may have for your project.
Plastics and architectural foams are useful materials to add depth and dimension to your sign while keeping costs low. They also can be easier to install, which keeps labor costs lower as well. If your objective is a high-end looking metal sign in a material such as brass, copper, steel, or chrome, your sign can become pricey pretty quickly as these materials are costly. A good way to achieve your look within your budget is to use a metal laminate on the face of foam or plastic letters and logos. Metallic paints can also be used on the faces and edges of the sign letters and logos to finish the project.
Most sign letters and logos, whether they are made from foam, plastic or metal, can be attached to the wall or other surface using a few different methods. Flush-mounted letters offer a clean look and are typically attached directly to the wall using a combination of tapes and glues. Metal letters and foam and plastic letters can also be pin-mounted so that they stand off of the wall and appear to be floating for added dimension.
