Our exterior building letters are available in several customizable styles to fit different brand aesthetics and visibility needs:
Channel Letters: Highly popular for storefronts, channel letters are three-dimensional, often illuminated, and available in various colors. These letters stand out during the day and are especially impactful at night.
Flat Cut Building Letters: For a minimalist, clean look, flat-cut letters are a perfect choice. They’re typically crafted from durable materials and mounted flush against the building’s exterior.
Backlit Letters: Also known as halo-lit letters, these letters have a soft, illuminated glow around their edges, creating a distinguished look at night. This style is ideal for upscale businesses wanting a premium aesthetic.
Materials for Exterior Building Letters
The materials used for exterior letters play a significant role in their appearance and durability. Applied Groove offers:
Acrylic: Lightweight and weather-resistant, acrylic is an excellent choice for creating vivid, colorful letters that hold up well over time.
Aluminum: Known for its durability and lightweight properties, aluminum is weather-resistant and can be powder-coated in any color, making it a versatile choice.
Stainless Steel: Often selected for its premium look and corrosion resistance, stainless steel adds a sleek, modern appeal to building signage.
Brass and Bronze: These metals are perfect for classic or vintage-themed signage. Over time, they develop a patina that can add unique character.
Mounting Techniques for Building Letters
We provide multiple installation techniques to fit your aesthetic needs and structural requirements:
Flush Mounting: This method affixes letters directly to the building, creating a seamless, modern appearance.
Standoff Mounting: Adds depth by projecting the letters slightly from the building surface, adding a three-dimensional effect.
Raceway Mounting: Ideal for channel letters, raceway mounting conceals the wiring and allows for easier installation on buildings that may have restricted installation options.
Size Variations
The size of your exterior building letters should align with visibility needs and any city ordinances. We offer:
Small (up to 12 inches): Suitable for small storefronts or areas with close foot traffic.
Medium (12-24 inches): Works well for most storefronts, offering visibility without overwhelming the building facade.
Large (24 inches and above): Ideal for businesses located on large buildings or high-traffic areas where long-distance visibility is crucial.
Before selecting Building Letters, it’s important to note that an electrical junction is required behind the wall or in the ceiling above to power the LEDs. We provide the necessary power supply (transformer), but adequate access in the wall and ceiling will be needed for wiring. Backlighting can significantly increase both the cost of the letters and the installation.
Channel letters are usually mounted to a raceway, which simplifies installation when accessing wiring is challenging or the wall surface is unsuitable. This method allows you to connect the entire setup to a single electrical junction for easier installation and a cleaner look.
With a wide range of options and mounting techniques, building letters are adaptable to fit any brand’s vision while adhering to local requirements. Reach out to Applied Groove to learn more about the letter solution for your business.
