ACM Signage for Construction Sites: Durable, Professional Hoarding and Site Signage
Aluminium Composite Material (ACM), commonly referred to as Dibond, is the ultimate solution for high impact, weather resistant signage on construction and development sites. Whether you're branding a new housing development, promoting your contractors or displaying essential health and safety messaging, ACM boards offer unbeatable durability, visual impact and value for money.
Our printed ACM signage is used extensively across the construction sector, from building wraps and hoarding panels to directional signage and sales boards. Designed for outdoor use, our ACM boards are lightweight, rigid, weatherproof and finished with a premium UV resistant coating to ensure maximum longevity, even in tough site conditions.
Why ACM Boards Are Ideal for Construction Signage
ACM signage is trusted by construction firms, contractors and developers for its professional appearance and long lasting performance. Unlike other temporary signage materials, ACM offers a solid, flat surface that resists warping, fading or tearing: making it the preferred choice for long term site branding and regulatory messaging.
