What are real estate signs made of - Signage

If you have ever driven past a real estate listing and wondered what that lightweight plastic board is — it is corflute. Corflute is the go-to material for outdoor signage across Australia, and for good reason.

What Is Corflute?

Corflute is a twin-wall corrugated plastic sheet — similar in structure to cardboard, but made entirely from polypropylene plastic. The corrugated inner layer gives it rigidity and strength while keeping the overall weight low. It is weather resistant, UV stable, and holds up well in outdoor conditions without warping or absorbing moisture.

Real estate agents most commonly use the 5mm thick version, which strikes the right balance between durability and ease of handling. Thicker versions (6mm, 10mm) are available for heavier-duty applications where extra rigidity is needed.

Some premium real estate boards now use acrylic panels with LED backlit lighting — a step up from standard corflute that makes listings stand out at night and in low-light conditions.

Uses of Corflute Signage

Corflute is not just for real estate. It is one of the most versatile signage materials available. Common applications include:

• Real estate for sale and for lease boards
• Roadside directional signs for events, developments, or businesses
• A-frame and sandwich board inserts
• Gate and fence signage for construction sites or rural properties
• Food van and mobile service backing boards
• Safety and construction site signs
