Product Description

Brass letters and numbers for signs are custom made in a variety of sizes, typestyles and finishes. The brass lettering cut outs are used for indoor conference rooms, in a hotel or restaurant lobby, or on a decorative office wall.

Brass metal sign letters are also used outdoors for building names, company logos, or on signs at entrances to developments and apartments. Brass Alloy C46400 is a superior metal for outdoor signage because of its strength and hardness against weather extremes particularly in marine areas.

Brass Alloy C46400 sign material is mainly copper with zinc added to give it its hardness, warm look and color. The brass Alloy C46600 is lead free and is considered navy brass.

The manufacturing of brass letters and numbers are custom cut from a flat sheet and is placed on a table where a computer driven waterjet cuts each letter to precision.

Once your brass lettering has been waterjet cut, it is prepared for finishing. The cut out brass letters and numbers are turned over, and stud pin mounting hardware is attached that will be used for your installation.

During the finishing process, the brass cut letters are held by its studs and is bead-blasted to make each brass letter precise and smooth, then stroke sanded to give it a natural satin finish.

The brass letters and numbers, can be polished, antique brass or natural satin brass finish. Brass sign letters will naturally oxidize over time that provides it with a vintage or antique appearance. The oxidizing can be chemically advanced with an oil rubbed black patina. The natural satin brass finish and the polished brass finish are the most popular, especially for home address signs or metal initials. All brass letters may vary slightly from order to order.

The brass sign letters are set up on a rack where it is coated with a two-part hardened acrylic polyurethane clear-coat, then sent to an oven for baking.

These brass letters and numbers come with a lifetime warrantee against fading, cracking, pitting or chipping and are easy to install.

UPPERCASE VERSUS LOWERCASE LETTERS

typography alphabet

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.
