Channel Shapes
Channel letters add an element of depth to your signs. They are produced with aluminum coil and the choice of acrylic or polycarbonate plastics. The different components of the channel letters are manufactured using a CNC router to cut out the backs and faces, and a CNC bending machine to form the sides. Each can is populated with LED lighting to create eye-catching illumination so your brand is visible at night.
Front Lit
Front lit is the standard in channel letters and are the most common type of channel letters. They’re illuminated from the front (or face) of the letters and can be mounted on a raceway or direct mounted to the building. Your imagination is your only limitation when it comes to these letters as we have the ability to work with almost any style and colour combination in our custom manufacturing shop.
We have the expertise to work with any font or modifying it to work with your design. Our standard usually consist of 3.5” or 5” return, L.E.D’s and a polycarbonate face with 1” trim cap returns on the face. We do have the ability, through painting and vinyl, to create custom colours that will really make your signage come to life.
Backlit or Halo Lit
Back lit channel letters, sometimes known as “halo lit” are used by signage clients that are seeking a glamorous image. These channel letters are manufactured with all aluminum faces and returns; they’re mounted set off from the wall. This allows light to be transmitted behind the letter creating a halo like illumination. A polycarbonate back allows light through but keeps unwanted wild life from making it home.
Front and Backlit
Front & Back Lit Channel Letter signs combines all of the illumination elements to create very unique signage. There are a multitude of options with L.E.D colour combinations for both front and back lighting to really outshine your competition. Allow us to help make your signage dreams become reality.
