Brushed Stainless Steel 3D Shop Sign Metal Letters

About Brushed Stainless Steel Letters

Made typically from a commercial quality 304 grade stainless steel, the brushed 3D letters are bespoke and made to order in a range of fonts and sizes. A flat sheet of brushed stainless steel is laser-cut to the shape and size of the logo or font. In order to create the depth of the letter, a return strip of brushed steel is welded onto the side of the letter which makes it look solid and three-dimensional. The letters or logos are then fitted to a shop fascia, office wall or sign in a number of fixing methods such as:

• Flush fixing: letters are fitted flush to the surface of the wall with hidden fixings
• Raised fixing: letters are fitted with stand-off brackets so the letters stand proud off the wall surface

These type of letters are ideal for both internal or external use and can be fitted to an existing wooden fascia, brick wall or to an aluminium fascia.

Stainless steel letters are often produced in following thicknesses: 

• 20mm
• 30mm
• 40mm
• 50mm

The thickness of the letters is usually determined by the size and font of the letters. If you require an alternative thickness then please speak to a member of our sales team.

Illuminating Your Letters With HALO lights

Depending on the design and size of the letters you'd like to have produced, we may also be able to install an internal LED light system inside the 3D built up letters which produces rear illumination, also known as Halo-Illuminated Letters.

The LED lights are suitable for both internal and external use and helps illuminate your shop sign letters by projecting light from the back of the letters onto the wall or fascia which the letters are mounted onto which creates a 'halo glow' effect cloud of light. This not only looks fantastic but also ensures your sign gets the attention it needs especially in poorly lit areas.

A range of coloured LED lights are used to create the various colours needed however typically an ice-white LED lighting system is used for most signs these days which creates a subtle yet clearly visible method of illumination.

The fascia will also play a part in how much light is produced from the letters. A white background or fascia will reflect the light much better than a black fascia

Installing your 3d metal letters

Built up letters give you a three dimensional feel to your sign which makes them stand out from flat cut lettering. This type of metal lettering is manufactured from a flat metal sheet and fabricated to produce each unique letter.

The built up letters consist of a "letter face" which is displayed on the front of the sign and a "return side" which is also visible when fixed to the wall. This method gives the illusion that the letters are solid when in actual fact they're hollow. The advantages in using this method is it reduces the cost as well as the weight of the shop sign so they can be displayed and fixed to virtually any wall or front of shop.

These type of letters are made to order in a range of fonts, sizes and styles. The shape of the letter is laser cut from a flat sheet of metal. A strip of metal is folded around the side of the letter to create the return side and depth of the letters. This is usually soldered onto the side of the letter and a range of return sizes are used depending on how thick or chunky you'd like the letters to look.

The letters are then fitted to the wall with a two part nut and bolt fixing. The male-part of the fixing is welded onto the back of the letter. The female-part of the fixing is fitted onto the wall. The two parts of the fixing then slot together and are tightened up securely with a spanner to ensure they're securely into position.

A paper-based fixing template is usually used to ensure all the fixings are in the correct position.
