Metal Dimensional Letter Building Signs North Jersey | NationwideDimensional letter building signs are valued for their versatility and cost effectiveness. There are a broad range of materials, sizes, fonts, and colors to pick from. Plus, they can be custom fabricated to match your marketing materials. Fortunately, The Sign Center is one of the premier providers of dimensional letter building signs for North Jersey as well as the rest of the nation.

Options for Dimensional Letters

There is a wide selection of letter materials we can provide for your organization based on what best suits your needs. Some of the most popular options include:

Metal Letters

There are two main types of metal letters: aluminum letters and metal laminate. Flat cut aluminum letters can be cut from your vector based art file up to half an inch thick. Once we cut your letters, we hand finish them by brushing, coating, or polishing them with a polyurethane enamel that is the color you choose. The finished product is then standoff mounted to give it a dimensional appearance.

To get the rich look for a metal sign without breaking the bank, metal laminate letters are ideal. We use anodized aluminum which is then bonded to PVC, acrylic, or Gatorfoam. We simulate a solid metal appearance by painting the edges a metallic color.

Plastic Letters

As with other flat cut options, the dimensionality comes from adding spacers when we install your sign. Acrylic can also be used as a laminate on PVC or foam substrates. You can also choose letters made entirely of PVC, which can then be painted for brand consistency.

Wood Letters

If you are looking for a natural wood feel to complement your surroundings, wood letters can be fabricated from any type of soft or hard wood. We generally recommend alder, walnut, cherry, pine, mahogany, and maple. For a short-term exterior signage option, medium density fiber board can be painted any color you want. We also offer wood laminate letters, which are bonded to a PVC substrate.

Foam Letters

It will not crack when exposed to the elements, and it is resistant to moisture and rotting. We use top quality outdoor paint to give these letters their color. And, as mentioned above, these letters can be laminated with aluminum or acrylic for a thickness of up to three inches.

If you are open after dark, you should strongly consider using spotlighting to make your exterior building sign visible at night. We can install energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and low maintenance LED lights to help consumers find you at any time of day.
