Details On Channel Letters Philadelphia

By Dominique Martin


Channel lettering is among the most lovely forms of lettering used for not just interior but also outdoor advertising. It is a very cost efficient technique that is emerging as the solution of branding for most entrepreneurs that are conscious of the company image. They are eye catching and are three dimensionally cut from letters and figures. They can be fixed to walls or various other structures. When considering using channel letters Philadelphia residents should know their various benefits.

They are found in different trim colors, and are also found in various styles. The latest designs are resistant to flames or arching. The moment they have been mounted on walls or other structures, there are no maintenance requirements, which makes them very cost effective. The installation process is also very easy, plus one has a wide range of letters they can choose from.

The types of the letters are different, with the standard versions being the most common. These are designed from u-channel base that have colored Plexiglas faces. There are the reverse letters with metal faces and clear backing made of plastic. They are so mounted that they do not touch the walls; they are placed inches away. They are lovely in the dark and create a halo-lit effect. The types with open faces are so called since they do not have to get covered and thus are visible from far.

For the installation, they can be mounted directly to the wall individually. The other option is to mount them on rectangular boxes called raceways. The ones that are mounted individually are more lovely as compared to those mounted on raceways. However, raceway mounting is much cheaper and the installation is much quicker since every letter gets pre-spaced then mounted to a raceway from the company.

It is only the raceways that are mounted to the wall, with the letters already well affixed. The process of mounting the lettering individually takes a lot of time because it is done one letter at a time. This despite the fact that this technique ends up being superior, it is more expensive in comparison with the use of raceways. The installations should be done by very experienced manufacturers.

Manufacturers that are experienced have the relevant technical know-how and expertise which ensures the work is handled professionally. Professional installation also ensures that the signs last for long of without requiring any maintenance. Most of the lettering is manufactured from aluminum that resists corrosion and rust. They are able to resist strong winds or harsh weather but at the same time are light enough to be placed in various sections of the building.

The lettering can be created using channels that hold a series of LED lights or a neon tube. Neon versions have neon tubes created to match the letter. The tubes are filled with gases that glow. The tube is mostly utilized on the front side of the sign, either in a contrasting or complementing color.

The LED channels are created in a similar way. However, they have LED lights and not neon within the channel. They are available in various color combinations and can even be programmed for lighting effects.
