When you invest in a custom designed and manufactured sign, you want it to stand out. After all, a sign is no good if it doesn’t get noticed. By using channel letters, a sign is more likely to catch you eye, look professional and be aesthetically pleasing. Channel letters are custom-made to create signs that most often appear on the exterior of commercial, government, and educational buildings. In terms of materials, channel letters are typically made of plastics as well as various metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper and brass.
Channel letters are also typically illuminated, which is the primary distinction between channel and dimensional letters. The illuminated nature of channel letters makes them perfect for outdoor use, because they remain visible even at night as well as in fog, rain and snow.
Installation of channel letters is very important because you want to locate them where they have the best chance of being seen. Channel letters can be directly attached to the facade of a building, flush with the wall or mounted on a raceway. A raceway is a type and style of mounting structure that both houses the electrical components and supports the sign.
