MAPLE RIDGE, BC — Channel Letter Signs and Why They Are Great for Business

Your signage tells people a great deal about your business at a glance. Channel letter signs are high-impact exterior signs that leave a positive impression wherever they are mounted. They are different than other signs because they are 3-dimensional, jutting out from the wall, each letter fashioned from heavy-duty – usually rust-proof – aluminum.

Channel Signs come in a variety of types and sizes, and are easily customized. Further, these signs are durable and energy-efficient while providing excellent visibility. 

Four Types of Channel Signage

Channel Letter signage comes in four distinct styles:

1. Front-lit channel letters with light shining through the front letters providing visibility at any time of day.
2. Halo-lit channel letters with internal lighting directed from behind the letters. This creates the halo effect surrounding the letters on whatever wall they are installed.
3. Open-face channel letters are similar to front-lit channel letters except that here the acrylic face is clear, which makes it appear completely open.
4. Front-and-reverse-lit channel letters combine the halo-lit and front-lit styles to create the best illumination option of the four options.

Other Characteristics of Channel Letter Signs

Illuminated channel letter signs are energy-efficient with each letter lit with LED lighting. Your business sign can work for you 24 hours a day without costing you a fortune. Illuminated or not, a channel letter sign provides exceptional visibility throughout the day.

At Pure Image Signs and Graphics, we create channel letter signage that is appropriately sized for your business installation. Your signs can be read from a distance without overwhelming your storefront. The fabrication process for Channel Letters is versatile, which allows us to create almost any shape, size, color, typeface or style needed for your customized sign design. Most signs are aluminum to avoid rust, but are still pliable enough to allow for specific design requests. 

Aluminum is at once lightweight and durable, standing up well to rain, sun, sleet, snow, wind, and ice. These signs are both affordable and relatively maintenance-free, making repairs easier than those required by a standard neon sign.
