Channel letters can help businesses make a statement with their signage. Often illuminated to attract attention at night and increase visibility during business hours, these three-dimensional signs can be constructed out of various materials including aluminum and acrylic.
Selecting an ideal mounting method is integral to keeping costs in check. Flush mounting requires less insertion points into walls but may make maintenance harder to achieve.
Cost
Channel letter signs are an excellent choice for businesses of all shapes and sizes, offering a distinctive modern aesthetic that draws passersby’s attention day and night. However, it’s essential to consider all costs involved before making your decision; material costs vary based on size; larger signs require more resources such as raw materials, power supplies and lighting which could add up quickly.
Another consideration when mounting signs is their mounting method. Flush mounting offers a clean appearance, but may not be feasible for signs that require extra hardware to support their weight and protect walls from being damaged by heavy signs or long banners.
Raceway mounting is an alternative to flush mounting that involves installing one single structure on your building facade known as a raceway, which houses all power supplies and wiring for your signage without necessitating drilling multiple holes into your wall, thus decreasing installation and maintenance costs significantly.
Design
Channel letters can make your business stand out in the crowd. Their customizable design means you can select a size and font to best match your business, and their durability lasts much longer than other signage options, plus repair is simple if necessary. Furthermore, channel letters make great choice for outdoor locations requiring lighting solutions.
Aluminum channel letter signs are durable and rustproof. LED illumination saves energy and lowers environmental impact while producing more natural-looking glow than neon signs; different channel letter designs include halo lit or front/back lit versions.
Channel letters are three-dimensional shapes made up of multiple letters or numbers made of plastic that can be customized into any letter or number imaginable, be it just numbers or even your company logo! Channel letters come lighted or unlit with various color options available to meet any need or style preference.
Installation
Channel letter signs offer businesses an effective advertising tool with their bold three-dimensional shapes and internal lighting options that can be seen by both drivers and pedestrians at any hour of day – they’re an excellent way to attract customers in an aggressive environment such as a shopping center.
These signs can be front lit (light coming directly from the face of the sign), halo-lit or back lit with neon or LEDs; mounted using raceway, direct mount or backer panel depending on their location and conditions of usage; they also use different techniques of mounting depending on site conditions and desired results.
Pan channel letters that feature an architectural look can be secured directly to building facades using non-corrosive studs for an easier maintenance access and less penetrations into the facade. While this method requires fewer penetrations into the building facade and reduces future maintenance needs significantly more easily, this method may not be as durable and is not recommended for tall buildings; additionally it could cost more.
Maintenance
Channel letters are an eye-catching way to display your business name on your storefront, offering unparalleled customization in terms of font, size, color and illumination. Ideal for making an immediate, professional first impression upon passersby at night time as well as budget considerations – they come in an assortment of sizes and fonts to meet every business need!
Illuminated channel letter signs are made of stainless steel with LED modules to illuminate their translucent acrylic faces, offering greater durability than traditional neon signs while using less energy and thus saving on your electric bill.
To properly clean a channel letter sign, it’s best to use a cloth that is non-abrasive and moistened with lukewarm water. Avoid sponges, metal scouring pads and melamine foam as these could scratch its front surfaces. Also be wary when cleaning in high winds as this could blow dirt into tiny scratches on letter fronts requiring delicate precision when dusting your sign.
