Types of Materials for Exterior Building Letters
Customization is easy with the wide array of material alternatives for building letters. Some favorite solutions are
- HDU – High-density urethane (HDU) is taking over the signage industry. It can achieve thicknesses of up to four inches, and it is affordable. HDU can be covered with an acrylic or metal laminate, painted to match your corporate colors, or we can apply printed vinyl overlays.
Aluminum – Aluminum is used in most metal signs because it is heavy duty, multifaceted, and cost-effective. We paint aluminum to match the exterior of your building, or we can supply you with any other colors you want.- Stainless Steel – This is the ideal option for upscale apartment complexes, appliance showrooms, and tech companies with its chic, avant-garde, durable, no-nonsense appearance.
- Bronze – Any service provider that values old-fashioned customer service, accounting firms that want to highlight their longevity in the industry, and law firms with old world values can all benefit from the sophisticated look of oxidized bronze.
- Formed Plastic – Formed plastic letters are a perfect choice when you appreciate the dimensional appearance of prismatic faces. They combine versatility and durability with the three-dimensional look that catches the eyes of consumers.
- Acrylic – Acrylic is a rugged material that produces a crisp, clean presentation. Show off your business’s branding with the custom colors available with acrylic.
Virtually Limitless Alternatives
Materials are not the only options you have with exterior building letters. There are also several fabrication and installation techniques. For example, flat-cut materials are precise, have crisp contours, and make it easy for clients to read the name of your service provider, store, or building from far away. Finished letters may be flush mounted, or we can install them with spacers.
We are able to enhance the appearance of your building letters with a wide selection of typefaces and colors. This is perfect if you want to be stylish while also actively advertising your enterprise’s branding.
For the most part, exterior building letters do not have their own illumination source. If you are open to the public at night, this could lead to issues. Thankfully, you can boost the readability of your letters by having us install façade spotlights or secondary landscape lighting.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by all of these options, let our friendly professionals help you wade through the alternatives to find out what is best for your budget and marketing approach.
