Corroded Steel Shop Sign Letters
Bespoke Shop Sign Letters
Using corroded steel gives your letters or logo an unusual and bespoke look which may just be what you need where standing out from your competition is everything. When it comes to quality, there is no better method of production than steel however if your budget is limited then there is a cheaper alternative to steel called aluminium composite, which has a similar finish but is made with an aluminium substitute.
Corroded steel letters are designed to look aged and rustic. Stainless steel letters usually contain chromium which protects the steel from staining, rusting or corroding. These corroded steel letters don't have a polished smooth surface therefore they appear to have a dull metal surface which age over time giving it a rustic antique look.
Corroded-effect shop sign letters & logos can be used for internal signs as well as external signs. Stainless Steel is a totally weatherproof product and gives you a tough robust finish.

About Flat Cut Corroded Steel LettersMade typically from a commercial quality 304 grade steel, the corroded steel flat cut letters are bespoke and made to order in a range of fonts and sizes. A flat sheet of steel is laser-cut to the shape and size of the logo or font and then fitted to a shop fascia, office wall or sign in a number of methods such as:

Installing your Flat Cut Raised lettersFlat cut letters are also designed to give you a three dimensional feel to your sign – they’re just not as chunky as the Built Up 3D Metal Letters. This type of metal lettering is manufactured from a flat metal sheet and fabricated to produce each unique letter. The flat-cut letters consist of a "letter face" which is displayed on the front of the sign and not a "return side". The advantages in using this method is it reduces the cost compared to the built-up letters 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. 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. |
Alternative Steel Colours & Finishes
A lot of the requests we get asked to produce are for metal shop sign letters which are long lasting and affordable. Like most materials, stainless steel is available in a number of thicknesses and finishes. Machined in the same way as aluminium composite letters, the shop sign letters or logos are cut from a single flat sheet of Stainless Steel using a CNC router which has a large cutting bed which allows for extra-large letters and logos to me machined as one single piece. The letters or logos can then be painted to your desired colours or left plain.
