Southern United specialise in the production of the highest quality metal nameplates for businesses and organisations across a huge range of industries. Weather resistant and highly durable, our nameplates are fantastic choices for a wide range of possibilities.
We offer our nameplates in aluminium, brass, and stainless steel. All of these materials have their specific uses, advantages and disadvantages. It is important to know the difference between these materials before you choose which one is right for you. Here we take a look at the specifics of each material to help you make the right decision for your business.
Aluminium Nameplates
One of the major advantages of aluminium nameplates is they are the lightest type of metal nameplate available on the market – giving you a broader variety of options for where to place them. Once the aluminium has been coated with an anode layer it is highly weather and chemical-resistant. It is also more malleable than other options, making it easier to work into creative shapes.
Brass Nameplates
Brass offers something of a middle ground between aluminium and steel in terms of malleability, weight, and resistance against corrosion. One of the advantages of brass is the impressive natural colour of the metal, which may be perfect for some purposes.
Stainless Steel Nameplates
Stainless steel is the strongest metal available for nameplates, and is generally ideal for use in demanding conditions. It is highly resistant to chemicals and weather as well as issues such as temperature change and damage. However, it also the heaviest material that we offer.
