Strength, texture, image and durability. The impression is classic and elegant. The material is versatile and durable. Nothing strengthens your public image more than an attractive metal sign letter, custom made, produced to order, by craftsmen committed to your satisfaction.
Precision cut with high pressure water jet and laser. The metal comes in a flat sheet and is placed on a table where a computer driven waterjet cuts each letter to precision. Waterjet cut letters are made using a fine, high pressure stream of water that carries an abrasive mineral. This fine stream cuts and allows for sharp, precise corners and intricate detail on small letters and characters.
In the finishing process, the letter is bead-blasted to make the surface smooth then stroke sanded to give it a natural satin finish. The letters can be left with a natural satin finish, painted, or dipped in a bath for surface pigmentation. All metal letters are coated with a two-part hardened acrylic polyurethane clear-coat, then sent to an oven for baking.

The font has been carefully designed to allow a viewer's eye to easily see the shape of each character. Not each character in a font is exactly the same size; otherwise your sign lettering would be difficult to read. We name the font after its uppercase letter 'A' size but most lowercase letters are shorter. Some lowercase letter shapes such as 'b d f h k l' have ascenders which can be taller than the uppercase 'A' height. Some lowercase letters such as 'g j p q y' have descenders which go below the words baseline. Uppercase letters that are rounded such as 'C G J O Q S U' are taller than an uppercase 'A' because the rounded part extends above and below the baseline. Please call us if you need to know the character's actual size and not its named size.

Christy will take you step-by-step through the process of installing building letters. Thoroughly clean application area of all dirt, tar, and wax. Mark the decal with a ruled line along the top of letters and down its center.
Tape one edge of the template to the installation surface and unroll it. Level the template and tape the other edge of the installation surface.
Mark holes with center punch, then drill 1/4" holes 3" deep where indicated on your template. Remove the template and clean out all drill holes using any of the following methods: a quick puff of air, using the vents on your drill, compresses air or a turkey baster.
Insert the studs into the stud holes on the back of each letter. Place letters in holes on wall before applying silicone to verify position. Adjust as necessary. Now fill the drill holes in the wall of the first letter with silicone.
Push the tube of silicone over each stud on the first letter in order to evenly coat it with adhesive.
Push the letter into the drill holes using a shim or spacer to assure proper stand off of the letter from the wall. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the rest of the letters.
Clean the installation surface firs. Position the spacing tape on the wall and secure one end with masking tape. Unroll, level and tape the other end. Spacing tapes show the general position of each letter.
Apply silicone to all the pads on the letter first. Position the letter on the wall where indicated with the spacing tape. Tape the letter to the wall with several strips of masking tape.
Adjust as needed, push letter against wall to ensure good adhesive bond. Continue with the remainder of the letters, and allow the silicone to cure before removing the masking tape. Temperature and humidity will influence silicone cure times. On some conditions letters should cure overnight.
