homecenter21 0 Posted July 8, 2012 I have been using polymetal substrates lately but have ran across pvc. What advantages or disadvantages would there be in pvc? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted July 8, 2012 Polymetal = Sturdiness, solidity, rigidity. PVC = Flexibility Polymetal will present a glossy metal surface, and look like sheet aluminum. PVC will just look like plastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CADILLAC MAC 5 Posted July 8, 2012 i started out using 1/4" plexi glass on signs, cuz i never knew about other substrates, i used poly metal for the first time last week, and was very impressed! is poly metal the best substrate to use for signs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted July 14, 2012 We have used both and they seem to hold up well I have used every thing from mdo,040 sheet alum.,alumalite,and diabond the composite sheet with many manufactures names I prefer the diabond for most direct attach signage and 063 on most frames .
