Letter board panels can bring an old, dull cabinet back to life. These open face panels might be hard to find locally or online, but Alphabet Signs will do any size from 12 inches by 8 inches to 96 inches by 48 inches in felt or vinyl material. The panel is cut to the quarter inch increment, so it’s no problem to make a custom cut panel that is 55 1/2 inches by 25 3/4 inches, for example.

Short answer: grooved felt or vinyl can not be sold without the fiberboard backing and aluminum frame.
Long answer: many customers want to get creative with their signs and just order the material, like grooved felt or vinyl. The process of making the felt or vinyl have grooves is a little more complicated than just pulling it off a roll. First, a 1/2 inch piece of fiberboard is cut to your specific size. Next, the felt or vinyl in your color choice is laid on top. Then, a saw that has blades every 1/4 inch rolls the felt or vinyl into the fiberboard to create the grooves for directory letters. Finally, an aluminum band is placed around the fiberboard and felt or vinyl top to give the board a finished look.
Alphabet Signs can typically produce these custom cut boards in about 5 business days plus 2-4 days in transit. We offer several colors, and you can even get an unfinished oak wooden frame, if you prefer.

Larry Kontny, Secretary Treasurer of the Magnolia Terrace Homeowner Association in Mont Verde, Florida, made the mistake of purchasing a poor quality bulletin board last year. "The back rotted out of the first bulletin board we purchase", said Kontny, "and water got inside, and of course, the water and the humidity ruined all the letters."

Letter board replacement panels are hard-to-find items that Alphabet Signs can turn around in about 5 business days. There's sometimes confusion about how pricing works on these panels because customers are charged by the incremental square foot.
