Frequently Asked Questions
Cast metal letters are formed in molds, which allows for sculpted depths, prismatic faces, and classic dimensional styles. Flat-cut letters are waterjet-cut from sheet metal, while cast letters offer a more traditional, architectural look.
Yes. Cast metal letters are produced in either bronze or aluminum. Bronze offers a timeless, prestigious look that ages with a natural patina, while aluminum provides a lighter, more cost-effective option with a silver-toned finish.
Standard finishes include brushed, polished, painted, anodized (for aluminum), and oxidized or patina (for bronze). These finishes enhance both durability and appearance, indoors or outdoors.
Most cast letters range from 2" up to 24" in height, with depths from 3/8" to 1". Larger letters are typically fabricated instead of cast to maintain structural integrity.
Cast letters are typically stud-mounted for a permanent installation. Spacers can create a floating effect, and in some cases, double-sided tape may be used for smaller letters or interior applications.
Cast metal letters are extremely durable for exterior use. Bronze naturally forms a protective patina, while aluminum can be anodized or painted with a clear coat to resist corrosion. Both materials are excellent for long-term exterior signage.
Yes. While cast letters are generally based on traditional letter styles, custom logos or emblematic shapes can be produced using custom molds. This is ideal for schools, government buildings, and corporate identities.
The typical lead time is 3–4 weeks, since each set requires custom molds and finishing. Rush production may be available depending on size and finish.
Cast letters are most often used for universities, government buildings, historic properties, and architectural signage where a classic, timeless look is important.
