Dibond Aluminium Boards

Why choose Dibond over foam board or Correx

Dibond is a rigid aluminium composite board, two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a solid plastic core, and it's the more premium, durable option compared with foam board or Correx. It's the material of choice where a sign needs to look genuinely professional and last for years rather than weeks, shopfront signage, estate agent boards for a longer marketing period, or permanent directional and site signage.

The aluminium surface gives a flat, smooth finish that reproduces colour and detail sharply, and it resists warping, fading and weather damage far better than foam-based boards, making it a sensible choice for anything mounted outdoors long-term or exposed to direct sun.

Fixing and mounting Dibond signs

Because it's rigid and doesn't flex like Correx, Dibond needs proper fixings, stand-off fixings, screws or a mounting frame, rather than stakes pushed into the ground, so factor mounting method into your order, particularly if the board is going somewhere permanent such as a wall or fence.

Because Dibond takes a genuinely sharp, flat print finish, it's also a popular choice for photography and fine art display, not just commercial signage, where a smooth, glare-reduced surface shows detail and colour more accurately than paper or foam board.

For a large sign, panels can be joined seamlessly so the finished piece appears as one continuous image rather than an obviously tiled design, worth discussing at the design stage if your sign is larger than a single standard sheet size.
