When it comes to manufacturing durable and reliable road traffic signs in South Africa, the material used plays a crucial role in ensuring longevity, visibility, and compliance. At Madave Signs, we specialise in using the most trusted materials to meet SANRAL and municipal standards. One of the most popular materials we use is Chromadek.
What is Chromadek? Chromadek is a colour-coated, galvanised steel sheeting widely used for permanent road signs. Known for its excellent weather resistance, corrosion protection, and long-lasting colour retention, Chromadek is the go-to choice for many road signage applications. It is strong, lightweight, and ideal for withstanding South Africa's varied climate conditions.
Other Common Road Sign Materials
- Aluminium: Lightweight, rust-resistant, and ideal for coastal environments.
- Correx: A budget-friendly plastic material used primarily for temporary signage.
- ABS Plastic: Durable and slightly more flexible than metals, used in temporary or semi-permanent applications.
At Madave Signs, we ensure that each material is selected based on its suitability for the road sign’s purpose, whether that be temporary, permanent, regulatory, or warning signage.
Why Material Choice Matters Choosing the right material impacts not only the lifespan of the sign but also safety, compliance, and long-term cost-effectiveness. Trust Madave Signs for road traffic signs manufactured with quality and compliance in mind.
