metal fabrication channel letter

Metal Fabrication Channel Letter Signages are common signs in stores, office buildings, and other commercial spaces, and they attract attention with their unique design and bright illumination. However, proper installation is essential to ensure that these signs are securely mounted in the desired location and remain stable over time.     Consider Location and Environment Before choosing a mounting method, it is crucial to consider the location and surroundings of the sign. While Outdoor Signages need to withstand the elements and other natural elements, Indoor Signages may face different challenges. Therefore, the mounting method chosen must be able to adapt to these conditions. Additionally if your sign is a back-lit type, like Backlit Metal Channel Letter Signages then an overhanging mount is the perfect way to maximize the sign's backlit features. If your sign is front illuminated, Satinsign staff will usually recommend that you choose expansion screws to secure individual letters or logos, depending on the weight of the individual letters. Evaluate Building Structure Evaluate building structure to determine suitable mounting points and methods. The wall material, the flatness of the wall, and the available support structure will all influence the selection of the best mounting method. If you want to mount your sign on a concrete wall, expansion screws or wire rods are the safest way to go. If you are mounting on a metal backing, the mounting method depends on the thickness of the metal, if it is more than 5cm, we recommend 10cm screws, and Satinsign will provide you with these mounting accessories free of charge!

When creating channel letters, the choice of panel material is critical and has a direct impact on the appearance, durability and cost of the letters. So exactly what kind of material should you choose that will fit your signage while also fitting your budget?   Let's take a look at these materials to see which type of channel letters they are suitable for.   As we mentioned in the previous blog, there are two types of channel letters, frontlit channel letter signage and backlit or halolit signage, when you consider the panel material, your channel letters must be front illuminated, otherwise you don't need to consider panel illumination as a factor.     1. Front-illuminated panel material must have light transmission, so we do not need to consider metal materials such as stainless steel or aluminum, these materials do not have light transmission and can only be used to do the shell of the channel letters. We can continue to explore the materials for the housing in subsequent articles.   So what are the materials that are light transmissive?  The preferred material must be acrylic, which is currently one of the most popular materials in the advertising signage market because it has excellent transparency and weather resistance, and there are many options for the thickness of acrylic sheets, which can be easily made into a variety of shapes and sizes and can withstand a variety of environmental conditions. Acrylic sheets are available in a variety of colors, such as blue, yellow, and red, which are the most basic colors, but if you want special customized colors, some suppliers choose to print colors on the surface of the acrylic sheets to meet the customer's customized needs.   2. How to choose the material for the backlit channel letters? Acrylic is of course the best choice, or there is a more budget-saving way: the channel letters made into a hollow, led strip light affixed to the inner wall of each letter, of course, the operation of the led strip light requirements are very high, need to reach the level of completely waterproof. On the back of the letters using a length of 10 centimeters of screws mounted on the wall, to achieve the effect of the letters hanging, only so that the channel letters are lit at night to achieve the effect of backlight or halo.   These ideas and suggestions are all based on appearance, durability, cost and the requirements of the particular application, but of course there are better ways of doing things, whatever the method, a choice that ensures that the letters look good, are long lasting and are adapted to the environment in which they will be used is the right choice, and if you have any other ideas on choosing the material for your channel letter panels then you can browse through our website: www.satinsign.com to get them!
