Industry Application
Wayfinding and Building Identification
Numbers, unit marks and directional lettering that stay readable for the life of the building.
Sector Pain Points
What Goes Wrong in This Sector
- Applied numbers lift at the edges and are gone in a couple of winters
- Estate-wide numbering is ordered piecemeal and ends up in three typefaces
- Fixing into concrete, brick and cladding all need different details
What We Do About It
How We Answer Them
- Flat-cut plate from 6 mm upward, so there is nothing to peel
- A single cutting file for a whole estate's numbering
- Stud lengths set per substrate, with the template drilled to match

Typical Scenario
How a Project Usually Runs
You send the artwork with the letter height marked and the colour reference quoted. We return a drawing showing construction, return depth, fixing and finish. Once that is approved the set is fabricated in 5 to 7 days and shipped flat with a 1:1 template, so your own fitter can mark out, drill and hang it without a specialist sign crew on site.
If the scheme covers several sites, the cut files are kept, so the second and third order match the first rather than approximating it.

Answers
Questions From Wayfinding and Building Identification Buyers
How do you handle payment?
By T/T, PayPal or Western Union.
Can you ship by sea instead of courier?
Yes. We arrange shipping by sea, by air or by courier, chosen against the size of the packed order.
How are the letters installed?
Every set ships as a ready-to-install kit with a 1:1 mounting template. The template is drilled from the same file the letters were cut from, so the set-out matches the artwork exactly.
What is the minimum order quantity?
TBC — the source material for this catalogue does not state a minimum order quantity. Send your artwork and we will confirm it with the quotation.
Can these letters be illuminated?
Yes. Direct illumination lights the face and indirect illumination puts the light behind the letter as a halo. Tell us which before fabrication, because it changes the return depth.
