Frequently Asked Questions
Brushed aluminum letters are cut from solid aluminum using a precision waterjet, then mechanically sanded to create a horizontal grain (vertical grain available by request). This process gives the letters a refined, satin appearance that works well for business names, building signage, reception walls, and directional displays — both indoors and out.
Yes. Aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant and ideal for long-term exterior use. For added protection, we offer a clear coated option or a brushed anodized finish, which enhances durability — especially in coastal or high-exposure environments.
Standard acrylic letter sizes range from 2″ to 24″ tall. Thickness is typically ¼″, ⅜″, ½″, or 1″, with custom options available. We’ll recommend the best thickness based on your letter size and installation surface.
We offer stud mounts (most common), stud with spacer (for a floating effect), and double-sided tape for small indoor letters. All mounting hardware and a full-size installation template are included. Professional installation is available nationwide.
Use our online letter builder to get an approximate width for your lettering based on height (±15%). After your deposit, we’ll send a digital proof scaled to your wall or space for review and approval.
Yes. We offer a variety of standard fonts and can also waterjet-cut fully custom letterforms or logos. Just send us your artwork, and our design team will ensure accurate reproduction.
Anodized aluminum letters are finished with an electrochemical treatment that enhances corrosion resistance and durability. The result is a slightly richer brushed look that resists oxidation, making it ideal for outdoor or high-traffic environments.
The brushed grain helps reduce visible fingerprints and minor wear. However, marks may appear over time with frequent handling. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive pads, strong chemicals, or harsh cleaners.
After we receive your deposit, our team will send a detailed digital proof showing the letter size, spacing, font, and finish. You’ll be able to review and request up to two revisions before we move into production. A photo mockup of your wall is available upon request.
