Pool Signs Australia vs. The Others: Why Material Matters

Pool Signs Australia vs. The Others: Why Material Matters

Jan 29, 2025Leon Hayes

When it comes to pool safety signs, not all materials are created equal. If you’ve ever dealt with cheap plastic signs that crack, fade, and shatter, you know how frustrating—and costly—it can be to replace them over and over again. At Pool Signs Australia, we use Aluminium Composite Material (ACM), ensuring durability, longevity, and superior performance in all weather conditions. Let’s take a closer look at why our signs stand the test of time while others fall apart.

Aluminium Composite vs. Plastic Signs: The Key Differences

Feature Pool Signs Australia (Aluminium Composite) The Others (Plastic Signs)
Durability Resistant to cracking, chipping, and shattering Brittle and prone to breaking under stress
Weather Resistance UV-resistant, waterproof, and corrosion-proof Fades, warps, and deteriorates in sunlight and rain
Lifespan 10+ years with minimal maintenance Short lifespan, often replaced every 1-2 years
Appearance Sleek, professional, and modern look Becomes dull, discoloured, and worn out quickly
Compliance Meets Australian safety regulations with clear, lasting visibility Hard to read over time due to wear and fading
Investment Value One-time investment for long-term reliability Recurring costs due to frequent replacements


The Problem with Cheap Plastic Signs

Cheap PVC and acrylic signs might seem like a cost-effective choice at first, but they quickly become a liability. Exposure to harsh Australian sun, rain, and pool chemicals causes them to become brittle, fade, and shatter easily.

  • UV exposure causes fading, making signs unreadable and non-compliant.

  • Brittle plastic cracks and shatters, leading to sharp edges and safety hazards.

  • Frequent replacements add up, making them more expensive in the long run.
