What makes a monument sign stand out? Aside from excellent construction and customized displays, there is the lettering to consider. Clients contacting The Sign Center frequently request flat-cut metal letters for monument signs in North Jersey and beyond. Not only do they like the looks, but they also like what the material brings to the table.
A Closer Look at Flat-Cut Metal
When choosing flat-cut rather than cast metal, you immediately increase the material range. Typical choices include aluminum, steel, bronze, brass, and copper. Standard thicknesses are half an inch, except for aluminum, which can be cut to be an inch deep.
Our clients generally prefer to keep the metal in its original color; however, if you like, we can color-match it to your corporate palette for consistency.
In addition to the color play, there is the finish to consider. In a few cases, clients have asked for polished metal. Far more typical is the order for a brushed finish. However, we can also treat the metal with artificial aging compounds that result in a rust or green patina illusion. The latter is of particular interest to clients buying steel, which allows for a Cor-Ten treatment.
Choosing an Installation That Pops
Because the metal has a bit of weight to it, you have several installation options.
- Flush mount. Some clients request that we install the letters flush to the monument's front. We hide the hardware and create a beautiful transition from material to metal.
- Stud mount. Threaded studs can be excellent choices when you want to give the illusion that the letters are floating slightly above the substrate. We can help you determine the best depth of these studs. It is interesting to note that we can install studs to the letters' backs, bottoms, and tops.
- Rail mounts. In some situations, a single or double rail mount makes the most sense. It is typically the case in situations when there are plenty of letters. This installation method lets us mount the individual words rather than the letters themselves.
Why Should You Buy Flat Cut Metal Letters for Monument Signs in North Jersey?
The monument is frequently the first brand interaction a consumer has with your message. Therefore, you want it to be impressive, precise, and indicative of what they can expect from you. Considering that flat-cut letters can be up to 46 inches tall, you can be sure that these products are eye-catching.
Besides that, clients welcome the longevity of the material. Metal does not rot or otherwise incur damage. Therefore, you can keep on using the flat-cut metal letters and even repaint them in the future if your brand message changes. This durability is also easy on the budget and comes in handy when you do not want to repeat the signage purchase in the future.
Some clients like the idea of layering metal as well. Depending on how you want the finished product to look, we can assist with this aspect of the project. The Sign Center makes it easy to be seen. Call us today at 908-464-1700 or email us at info@thesigncenter.biz for a quote!
