316 Brushed Stainless Steel Letters 09
Seafront signage, swimming pool halls and chemical plant entrances where 304 would eventually spot.
View specification
Sheet metal folded into a face and a return and soldered into a closed box. It is how you get a metal letter that is big, deep and light enough to hang on a wall.
A solid metal letter over about 300mm becomes too heavy and too expensive to cut from plate. Fabrication solves both: the letter is hollow, the material cost drops with size, and the return depth becomes a design choice instead of a limit.
Sign companies and fit-out contractors buying letters for shopfronts, reception walls and building facades, who need a metal finish that will still look right in five years.
38 builds, each with its own specification table, fixing method and production window.

View specificationThe largest group in the catalogue: 25 builds of fabricated 304 and 316 stainless, separated by how the surface is finished rather than by how the letter is made.
4 productsWelded aluminium letters, chosen when the sign is large, the wall is weak, or the air is salty.
2 productsTwo builds in real brass: one water jet cut from solid plate, one fabricated and mirror polished. Both are for interiors and entrances where the weight of the metal is part of the impression.
7 productsSeven builds where the metal is formed over a curve rather than folded flat, including laser cut faces, prismatic numerals and a backlit curved car signage panel.
316 contains molybdenum and resists chloride pitting, which matters within a few hundred metres of the sea or around a pool. Inland, 304 performs the same and costs less. Both grades are available across this category.
No. A closed fabricated letter cannot be opened and re-sealed reliably, so the decision to illuminate has to be made before production. If you might light it later, order a channel letter now.
From a Pantone or RAL code supplied before production. We paint or powder coat to the code. A photograph or screen colour is not enough to work from.
Back screw bolt or 3M double-sided adhesive tape depending on the product, with all accessories and a 1:1 scale mounting template in the carton.
Send a vector file and the finished letter height. We will come back with a price, a production window and the constraints that apply to this construction.
