Cast metal letters are one of the most positive first impressions your business can make on a potential customer. They are available in a variety of finishes including aluminum, bronze, and brass. These high end sign components can be used indoors or outdoors, have multiple options for fabrication, and can be used with other materials to achieve a variety of looks. But many customers who need something more cost effective want to achieve the look of metal letters without the investment. Here are three effective ways to incorporate metal letters into your sign: Flat Cut Metal Letters: Durable enough for both indoor and outdoor signs, flat cut metal letters are a terrific alternative to cast. You can get them in a variety of thicknesses and finishes, and they are significantly lighter in weight so the installation process is less time consuming. Metal Laminate on Painted Acrylic: This is a good indoor/outdoor middle option for the look of metal letters on a less expensive backing material. A thin metal laminate is bonded to an acrylic back piece - the backer can be fabricated in a variety of thicknesses. Edges can be either painted to match, or wrapped with the same metal. Metal Laminate on Foam: Truly the most cost effective option, the metal laminate is bonded to a durable foam backer. The foam can be painted as well. These letters work best in indoor applications.
