Channel letters are vibrant, eye-catching sign types that add a memorable presence to business establishments. Available in an array of shapes, sizes, and colors to meet any type of need or business type – channel letters provide businesses with a lasting and distinctive presence!
Installed directly to the building facade or mounted on a raceway/wireway system. A raceway or wireway system provides both mounting support for the sign itself as well as its power supplies.
Customization
Channel letter signs offer businesses of any kind the flexibility to tailor them specifically to their brand identity, from materials, fonts, sizes, lighting techniques (such as LED) and placement options – perfect for businesses that wish to attract customers all day long! Channel letters signs also boast low maintenance costs compared to their more permanent alternatives such as signage.
Pan channel letters are one of the most versatile forms of business signage, comprising of metal pan enclosures fabricated into letters with translucent acrylic faces that can be illuminated using neon or LED to bring your message to life. You also have options such as reverse halo illumination or non-illumination versions available for your selection – these signs can be mounted directly to walls, backer panels, raceways – so that you can select what best meets your business’s needs and budget.
Installation
Installing a channel letter sign can be done in various ways, each having an effect on its cost. For instance, larger signs will typically cost more to fabricate and install due to more raw materials being needed and larger insertion points within buildings facades.
Cost factors that influence pan channel letter installations include factors like number of lights per letter, back size and installation method. For instance, pan channel letters require using a metal pan enclosure fabricated to look like letters which houses all lighting and electrical components of their sign.
Other options for lighting the sign include front-lit, reverse channel letters halo-lit and combination front/reverse illuminated. Varying the type of illumination can alter its look and feel; for instance, open channel letters with neon tubing create an antique or rustic appearance.
Maintenance
Channel letter signs are an eye-catching way to advertise your business’s name on its storefront, and come in an array of sizes, fonts, colors and lighting options to best fit with its brand. Channel letters offer easy readability while their 3D effect draws passersby in.
Illuminated channel letters offer an economical solution for branding your business with its own identity. Fabricated using stainless steel returns and translucent acrylic face inserts, which offer exceptional low-light visibility. Available in various font styles and front/back lighting configurations.
As with any sign, signposts are susceptible to the elements and other factors which can hinder their appearance, including weather and power outages that affect them. Common issues include burnt-out bulbs, wiring faults, and power interruptions – each of which could prove costly unless handled quickly by an effective sign repair crew.
Cost
Signs are an effective way to boost business exposure and attract customers, but they can be expensive investments. Your budget will determine the final cost of the signage project; to keep costs under control, choose high-quality weatherproof paints and hardware as these will last longer and thus save money in the long run.
Most channel letter signs are installed using a raceway mount, which requires fewer holes in the building facade and allows installers to quickly access your lighted sign’s wiring and power supplies for repairs or updates. Furthermore, this method also makes for seamless aesthetics since raceways can be painted to match building facades for a more seamless appearance.
Switching out fonts for something simpler can also reduce costs, and adding a bird deterrent such as a simple spike strip that won’t harm birds but will encourage them to find somewhere else to build nests can keep costs under control.
