3D, Perspex and Aluminium Signs, Cut Out and Raised Lettering.
Built up 3-dimensional lettering is a great way to add impact and distinctiveness to your commercial sign.
Nothing leaves a greater impression on your customers and employees than a custom made 3-D sign of your corporate logo displayed in your reception area, or outside near your entrance.
"What do you mean by 3D?" we're often asked. People confuse the term with computer animated or virtual reality 3D. That type of 3D looks dimensional on a computer screen, but in reality is a flat image. Our work is "touch and feel 3D", you can feel the textures.
Any numbering, lettering or logo can be precision cut out of aluminium or perspex and then mounted onto a surface - either directly or raised on pins to create a shadow effect. This kind of signage is used at town-house complex entrances, company entrances and reception areas, providing the perfect upmarket solution.
Lettering can be manufactured with or without returned edges and colours can be matched to your own requirements. 3-dimensional letters are available in a wide variety of sizes and colours. These can be made from:
- Formed plastic
- Cut out aluminium or plastic
- 3D all aluminium lettering
- 3D lettering with illuminated faces
- 3D Perspex lettering
- Flat Perspex (acrylic) letters
- Aluminium composite letters
- Aluminium letters
- Vinyl letters
Compared to conventional flush mounted vinyl lettering, built ups and flat cut Perspex letters, 3D Dimensional lettering adds perceived extra quality to any sign.
Lighting
Various methods of lighting can be integrated for a more impressive built up effect , including.
- Full face lit - Face lit built up letters have a coloured Perspex facing letter. This has a light sourced mounted behind allowing the face and return to light up.
- Face lit - This type of built up lettering consists of a coloured Perspex face letter with either an aluminium return or a contrast, non illuminating Perspex return. A light source is placed within the letter illuminating just the face and not the return.
- Reverse lit or halo effect - This type of built up lettering lights the area around the back of a built up letter. The built up lettering is usually made from a material that is solid, not allowing any light to pass through the face or returns of the built up letter.
There are several ways 3D & flat lettering can be installed. The choice of which method is best depends on how you want to use your lettering and where you plan to install the letters.
