The Basics

What Is a Corten Steel Sign?

A corten steel sign is your brand cut or formed from metal such as aluminium, steel or brass for a premium, long-lasting finish.

We design, fabricate and install every corten steel sign in-house across New York City — matched to your exact brand colours, fonts and space, with a free digital proof before we build.

Businesses choose a corten steel sign because it delivers a professional, on-brand impression that builds recognition and trust — and lasts for years.

  • Brushed, polished or powder-coat
  • Die-cut letters or panels
  • Optional halo lighting
  • 15+ year lifespan

Questions

Corten Steel Sign FAQs

How much does a corten steel sign cost?

Every corten steel sign is custom, so price depends on size, material, finish and lighting. Most interior signs range from about $150–$900; request a free quote for an exact figure.

How long does a corten steel sign take?

We send a digital proof within 48 hours and most corten steel sign orders are fabricated within a few business days after approval, plus installation scheduling.

Which metal is best for an outdoor sign?

Stainless steel and aluminium resist corrosion best outdoors. Brass and bronze develop a patina over time, which many brands prefer.

Can metal signs be any colour?

Yes — powder-coating gives a durable finish in any colour, while brushed, polished and patina finishes keep the natural metal look.

How are die-cut metal letters mounted?

Usually with concealed studs and a paper template for precise spacing, or on a backer panel for one-piece installation.

Do you offer free quotes and design proofs?

Yes — every project starts with a free quote and a digital proof within 48 hours, so you see the sign before you commit.

Do you install across New York City?

Yes. Our team measures and installs across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, including wiring for lit signs.

We recently had a custom illuminated sign installed for our Wealth Partners Alliance office, and the entire experience with VOLT Signs exceeded expectations. From the initial planning and design process through installation, the team was professional, responsive, and delivered exactly what they promised. A project like this involves much more behind the scenes than most people realize; electrical planning, wiring, mounting, coordination, and ensuring everything aligns perfectly. Despite the com...

turned out very nice, delivery took longer than anticipated and templates were difficult with stud mounting, but we were installing on brick which made it that much more difficult.
