The Grand Plaza of Carrollwood, Florida, lives up to its name by choosing custom cast metal letters for their new exterior building signs . This beautiful, yet practical choice is also earth-friendly and recyclable! Additional virtues of cast metal are that, while they come in either aluminum or bronze, and therefore can be given a brushed, oxidized, anodized or given a patina finish, they can also be painted to color match with 45 standard colors available. One of its biggest advantages however, is that cast metal is more affordable than flat cut metal in thicknesses above 1/4 inch. The use of thick letters and logos creates depth, giving a 3D effect, which makes them stand out and be more visible. Text choices come in flat, round or prismatic architectural faces and many sizes. Above all, cast metal is very durable and tells your clients that you invested in a product that is long lasting, sending the message that you plan to be around for them for years to come. .
Symbols, letters, numbers and custom logos in cast metal make this medium great for many types of exterior and interior signs. The Grand Plaza made use of this, not only for their address identification on their exterior buildings, but for directional purposes on its entrance monument. The look is a very professional one, whether used as indoor signs on lobby walls helping guide customers and identify areas in an office or muti-unit facility, or used as exterior signs. The Grand Plaza is a great outdoor example. The office and retail sections of the Tampa Bay area plaza are designated by name and directional arrows at the entrance, names and numbers are on each of the respective buildings. Their custom signs are aluminum with a brushed finish, and the look is elegant and impressive. 
The mounting options for cast metal ranges from flush mount to the use of studs installed with a spacer (for more depth), use of a bottom bracket, bottom or top stud, or even a bottom and top rail mount. Having multiple mounting options is an asset especially for most outdoor business signs that need to take in consideration their community sign requirements and/or building code restrictions. Having the ability to be halo cast to allow LED lighting really provides your business the opportunity to advertise your location and services 24 hours a day. A backlit sign is also more visible in any kind of weather. These qualities really make cast metal worth a look when you are looking to update or create a new sign for your business.
