Why 3D?
Why should you consider going with 3D Channel Letters? 3D Channel Letter signs are growing very popular among business owners these days. They are pleasing to the eye and hard to miss day or night. Channel Letters allow for a lot of creative freedom in terms of design and are extremely efficient. They are also way better for the environment.
Some Basic Information
A channel letter is made from aluminum. Aluminum does not rust. We provide various sizes so as to give you more selection. Each letter-face mainly composed of acrylic, unless you chose an open-face style. Our 3D Channel Letters use LEDs for illumination. Older channel letter signs use neon tubing which contains mercury and is not safe for the environment. LEDs are highly efficient compared to neon and they also contain ZERO harmful substances. LEDs allow for our signs to be visible during the day and IMPOSSIBLE to miss at night. The face of the channel letter can be any color, even black. Along with letters, we can also construct custom shapes to incorporate already existing business logos and designs. This allows for each sign to be 100% unique to a business.
There a number of options for mounting a channel letter sign. First, the sign can be mounted on a metal panel giving it more room away from the exterior wall. Second, each letter can be individually mounted directly to the wall.
There are cases where business owners utilize LED strip lighting to accent and modify the existing Channel Letter sign. This gives the sign an even more unique look, essentially completing the design.
The images below show the construction of a 3D Channel Letter sign:
HALO lit 3D Channel Letters
A halo lit channel letter has the light directed behind it. The back light illuminates the back and creates a very cool “Halo” effect around each individual letter. The face of the letter is sealed off with aluminum and painted a dark color (most often black). Dark letters create the contrast needed for the full “halo” effect.
Open Faced 3D Channel Letters
An open faced channel letter has no acrylic face attached to the front of the letter. Thus the LEDs are exposed and illumination is increased. This requires LEDs specifically designed to withstand the elements. These LEDs are typically sealed off with a durable weather-proof silicon adhesive.
Front/Back Lit 3D Channel Letters
A front and back lit channel letter has both an illuminated acrylic face and a “halo” effect. This allows the sign to give off the “halo” illumination as well as an illuminated face. The back of the letter is exposed, creating the “halo” effect, and the face is acrylic.
So, what can 3D Channel Letters do for you?
