Cast Bronze Letter Sign Designer

Product Description

Lifetime guarantee! Each metal letter is precision cast bronze using up to twenty distinct manufacturing steps. The metal provides strength and permanence to your image. Seven metal finishes give you the choice of dazzling shine, brilliant color, or natural and antiquated metal. Combine these finishes with an extensive selection of letter styles to design signs that reflect your individual image.

The bronze cast sign letters use virgin bronze ingots Alloy NAVY G-88-8-0-4 lead free that are melted down in an all-electric, pollution free furnace. NAVY G-88-8-0-4 lead free is a superior metal for outdoor signage because of its strength and hardness.

The melted ingot is poured into a letter mold, which has been designed for excellent legibility. The mold also has added depth to give your character real dimension. Once your letter has been cast by skilled craftsmen, it is shot blasted, degated and belt sanded in preparation of finishing. The cast metal characters are turned over, drilled and tapped at the appropriate stud diameter for its stud mounting hardware used during your installation. In the finishing process, the letter is bead-blasted to make it precise and smooth then stroke sanded to give it a natural satin finish. The 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. Your letters are then laid out for careful quality inspection then seal-tight packaged so your letters arrive mistake-free.

The online sign designer is for font style preview only. We provide the approximate sign dimensions for comparison purposes only. We have taken great care in providing the closest sign dimensions possible. Due to manufacturing processes beyond our control (temperature, pressure, mold locations) we cannot guarantee an exact line length. As a rule of thumb, allow 15% margin for space around the letters. This makes your sign more effective as well. Please call for exact dimensions.

These characters come with a lifetime warranty against fading, cracking, pitting or chipping as long as the letters are installed in their original location. Routine maintenance of rinsing with mild soap and water usually will restore the metal surface to its original appearance.

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.
