What It Is
Metal letters are the permanent end of the sign trade: faces and returns fabricated from stainless steel, finished brushed, polished or painted, and built to sit on a facade for years with nothing more than a wash. Lit or unlit, metal is what a name is made from when the building is expected to outlast trends.
The metal range on this site uses #304 stainless steel as standard and #316 for harsher environments, with the listed build route of laser cutting, polishing, painting and assembly. Letters can be produced unlit for daytime-only positions, backlit for the halo effect, or combined with acrylic faces for frontlit versions — the metal shell is the common platform under most of the letter styles in this catalogue.
Materials and Build
Letters are fabricated, not printed: faces are cut by laser from stainless steel (#304 or #316) or acrylic — with 3, 5 and 8 mm acrylic options listed — returns are formed to depths between 10 and 180 mm, and the finish is polished, painted or left as brushed metal. Inside sit waterproof LED modules powered through a Mean Well transformer at a safe DC 12V. The listed production route is laser cutting, polishing, painting and assembly, and the listed production time is 5–7 working days.
Every order ships with a 1:1 paper installation template, so the spacing designed on screen is the spacing drilled on the wall. Listed warranty terms are 5 years for stainless steel and acrylic elements and 3 years for the LED and transformer; express delivery by DHL, FedEx or TNT is listed at 3–5 days, with air freight at 5–7 days and sea freight at 20–30 days for larger sets.
Choosing a Finish
Brushed steel is the safe professional finish and hides fingerprints best. Polished steel is a mirror — dramatic in retail, demanding in maintenance. Painted steel carries an exact brand color and is the choice for chains. Titanium-tone and black finishes serve premium and hospitality briefs. The proof stage renders your name in the shortlisted finishes so the decision is visual, not verbal.
Unlit metal letters deserve a mention: for stone-clad buildings, heritage facades and interiors with strong architectural light, a fabricated unlit letter in brushed steel often looks better than any lit version, at a lower price and with zero running cost.
