Channel letter signs provide highly visible signage solutions to businesses. When lit, they offer great returns on investments.
Raceways are boxes designed to contain the power supplies and wiring for signs so as to eliminate the need for multiple holes to be drilled in buildings’ facades for mounting components of said signs.
Reverse Channel Letters
Reverse Channel Letters provide a stunning back lit “halo” effect when displayed on building walls, drawing attention to your business day or night. These signs are back-lit from behind using fluorescent lighting through translucent acrylic back panels to illuminate them from behind and cast their unique glow over company names or graphics on them.
Reverse Lit Channel letters are preferred by signage clients looking to add an exclusive, luxurious aesthetic to their brand identification programs. Reverse Lit Channel letters feature stainless steel faces and returns that prevent animals from nesting inside, with clear backs to let your sign shine through.
Reverse Lit Channel Letters are created using flat sheets of aluminum bent using computer controlled bending machines into letters using spacers, spacers, and trim caps for a seamless look. Spacers make the sign appear to float off of walls while trim caps provide a finished appearance around its edges. Front or reverse-lit versions may be mounted directly to walls or raceway mounts can reduce installation costs as more holes need to be punched in walls for mounting purposes.
Front & Back Lit Letters
Channel letters can help customers recognize your brand at night, especially from distances. Easy for anyone to read from any distance and customizable according to company branding – making channel letters ideal for retail stores, corporate parks and airports alike.
Front lit channel letters feature LED lighting inserted at the base of each can, shining light through an acrylic face to illuminate it and increase nighttime visibility. This style of channel letter signage is popular as it can either be flush mounted directly to a building or raceway for more minimal building penetrations.
Back-lit channel letters feature lights illuminating from behind, creating a “halo” effect to bring attention to your company name and logo. While typically made out of black material to stand out against the dark sky, these signs can also be customized according to brand colors for greater brand recognition.
Aluminum Channel Letters
Aluminum channel letters are three-dimensional graphic sign elements used widely throughout shopping malls, corporate headquarters and other commercial buildings for maximum visibility. Internal illumination helps attract passersby’s attention day or night – something which aluminum channel letters offer in abundance!
Standard channel letter signs typically consist of an aluminum back, acrylic side returns (called returns ), and custom painted faces to meet branding standards. They may also come equipped with light emitting diode (LED) modules, transformers and whips.
The back of each letter can either be constructed of anodized aluminum or clear polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is an extremely durable material that allows translucent vinyl to be applied for various light effects – including the halo effect – on its surface. These elements are attached with fasteners using trim cap borders matching their face colors; then mounted either raceway, flush mount, or backer mount depending on personal preference.
Steel Channel Letters
Channel letter signs are one of the most effective tools available to businesses looking to target prospective customers with marketing materials. Studies show that dynamic, professionally designed signage will attract more customers and drive higher sales than any less visible sign could. Therefore, many businesses choose Pan-Channel letter signs as their marquee signage solution.
Pan channel letters consist of a metal enclosure fabricated to the shape of a letter and covered by an opaque or translucent colored plastic face that allows light through, creating bright illumination at night while protecting from pests, extreme weather, or other environmental factors.
Trim caps provide an aesthetic finish by holding acrylic face panels securely in place for a clean and finished look. Available in various colors to complement brand identity, these trim caps can also be easily attached via welding to stainless steel returns for solid and UL listed installations.
