RMS Router specializes in custom sign faces, logos and dimensional letters.

Acrylic/Plastics

Acrylic is excellent material to use in place of glass for windows, skylights, doors, partitions, etc. It is lightweight, very transparent, half the weight of glass, and is virtually unaffected by nature. Acrylic also offers great resistance to breakage. Typical applications include inspection windows, sight gauges, windshields, meter faces, protective covers, safety shields, tanks, desk tops, displays, trays, and chair pads. Flat sheet plastic offers strength and durability, and can be a great option if your project calls for bevels or contours.

PVC

PVC or polyvinyl chloride, also known as Sintra, is a rigid material that is chemically nonreactive. This is the premier material for signage, displays, screening or any application that requires a lightweight, durable colored material. Its easy-to-fabricate characteristics make the #1 material in the sign industry. Rigid PVC is easily machined, readily accepts paint, and performs well under most silk screening processes. PVC is an excellent material choice for dimensional sign letters. Available in several thicknesses, Sintra letters are easy to install with double sided tape and silicone.

Corafoam

Corafoam is a rigid, high density closed-cell polyurethane offering significant advantages over wood. It is environmentally friendly, and can be sandblasted, routed, carved or used in any other typical wood application. Corafoam is practically indestructible – completely waterproof, extremely durable, and will not discolor, crack, twist, curl or dry rot, even after long term weather exposure. High or low temperatures, rain, snow, ice or frequent sprinkler watering have no effect on this state-of-the-art material. It is also unaffected by solvents, and accepts all sign paints (including lacquers).

HDU

High Density Urethane, also known as precision board, is the original sign foam. It is perfect for three dimensional signs. Even without a finish or sealant, HDU is waterproof and durable in all weather conditions, so it will not warp or rot.

Plywood

Plywood is a type of engineered wood made from thin sheets of wood called plies or veneers. The layers are glued together under heat and pressure, each with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for greater strength. There are usually an odd number of plies, as the symmetry makes the board less prone to warping, and the grain on the outside surfaces runs in the same direction. A common reason for choosing plywood over plain wood is plywood’s superior resistance to cracking, shrinkage, twisting or warping.

Polycarbonate Sheet

Polycarbonate is an extremely versatile material that can represent the perfect choice for jobs requiring high impact resistance, strength and durability. Polycarbonate sheet is manufactured in the same exacting process as Acrylic sheet. It can be cut, machined, glued, and screened just like acrylic. The results are clean, precise and professional looking, with excellent longevity under a range of harsh conditions.
