Channel letters are three-dimensional sign characters made of metal or plastic that can be illuminated to draw passersby in. They consist of a face, sides (called returns ), and trim to hold everything together.
Front lit channels are highly visible both day and night, making them an effective form of signage for businesses.
1. Durability
Front-lit channel letters present your company name or logo in an eye-catching three-dimensional form that’s hard to miss. Crafted from durable aluminum alloys and wrapped with your choice of acrylic material or polycarbonate facing, front-lit channel letters offer maximum exposure in any environment.
Channel letter signs can be used indoors or outdoors. Their durability depends on where they’re positioned and which materials make up their construction; for instance, facing towards an ocean may expose it to salty air that accelerates deterioration while other factors, like sunlight exposure can extend their longevity.
For optimal signage care, it’s crucial that you use gentle cleaning products designed specifically for acrylic. Harsh chemicals may damage its surface and lead to discoloration or cracking; professionals can assist you in selecting appropriate cleaning supplies as well as tips for prolonging its longevity, such as minimizing direct sunlight exposure and extreme temperatures.
2. Energy Efficiency
LEDs also boast superior energy efficiency compared to neon bulbs, meaning they use significantly less power in use – saving you money in the long run. Studies have demonstrated that LED bulbs can be anywhere between twenty to sixty percent more efficient.
Illuminated channel letters are an effective way to grab customers’ attention and increase brand recognition. Not only can they create an eye-catching effect and add professionalism, but their low maintenance costs make them a wise investment for any business.
Standard Front Lit Channel Letters are constructed of aluminum faces and sides (returns), illuminated internally using either LEDs or neon. Open Lit Channel Letters resemble standard Front Lits in many respects except their acrylic sign face is either clear or the sign has no visible face at all so that its internal neon illumination can be observed directly.
3. Versatility
Channel letter signs are three-dimensional metal or plastic fabrications lit with neon or LEDs and equipped with custom-made faces to display letters, numbers and/or logo symbols – providing businesses with highly customized signage solutions to make an impressionful statement day or night.
LED lighting allows you to easily customize effects and illumination options that set your sign apart from competitors, making it one of the most flexible business signs available. They come in an assortment of shapes and sizes to meet all of your business signage needs.
Front Lit or Standard Channel Letters consist of router-cut aluminum returns (called returns ) attached with an acrylic face that has been custom painted to your desired color and mounted above them. This style is highly visible both day and night and is therefore the most widely used type. An alternative version called an Open Lit Channel Letter may feature no sign face at all exposing its neon tubing for even greater impact.
4. Customization
Channel letter signs can be customized with various fonts, colors and designs to meet the needs of any business or organization. Channel letter signs make a statement about who your company is; whether spelling out its name or slogan; even including your logo into this versatile signage option can easily make you stand out from competitors while drawing in new customers.
