Question 17

When should I select double-sided tape?

Accepted Answer

We only warranty double-sided tape installations for indoor installations.  It is not suitable for exterior applications.  We recommend installation on flat, smooth interior walls only.

Question 18

How should I clean and maintain my signs and letters?

Accepted Answer

To ensure your signage maintains its premium appearance and structural integrity for years to come, regular cleaning is recommended. Always avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, and high-pressure power washing, as these can permanently damage protective coatings, paints, and finishes.General Cleaning Guidelines: For most signs, simply wiping the surface with a clean, ultra-soft microfiber cloth dampened with a mixture of warm water and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap is sufficient. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.Here is more specific advice based on the material and finish of the product.Aluminum & Anodized Aluminum:Painted or Clear-Coated Finishes: Most of our aluminum products are painted or clear coated.  In this case, wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.Raised Print Finishes: Be gentle around tactile elements. Use a soft-bristled brush or a feather duster to remove dust from crevices. Avoid heavy scrubbing over the raised print to prevent accidental chipping or peeling.Stainless Steel:To remove fingerprints and smudges, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a light application of WD-40. Always wipe in the direction of the metal grain.Marine-Grade 316: While highly corrosion-resistant, marine-grade stainless steel still requires maintenance. Remember, it's stainless steel, not stain impervious steel. If installed in a coastal environment, clean it per the general cleaning guidelines, but also rinse the sign periodically with fresh water to remove salt deposits and prevent surface discoloration (aka., tea staining).Brass, Bronze, & Copper:Clear-Coated / Lacquered Finishes: Clean using only mild soap and water. Never use metal polishes or abrasive cleaners, as these will permanently scratch or strip the protective clear coat lacquer.Raw / Unlacquered Finishes: As "living metals," unlacquered brass, bronze, and copper will naturally oxidize and develop a rich patina over time. To maintain this aged look, simply dust lightly. To remove tarnish and restore the original bright shine, use a premium commercial brass/bronze/copper polish, applying it with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain.Plastic / Acrylic:Standard Finishes: Follow the general cleaning guidelines. Use only a mild soap and water solution with a very soft, clean microfiber cloth.Warning: Never use standard glass cleaners (like Windex), ammonia, or solvents on plastic or acrylic. These chemicals will cause the material to "craze" (develop micro-cracks) or become permanently cloudy.

Question 19

Do metal signs require regular maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Some metal finishes, particularly those with clear coatings, benefit from periodic cleaning to prevent buildup from environmental pollutants. If your sign is installed in an area with high salt or pollution, a quarterly rinse with water and mild soap will extend the life of the protective coating.

Question 20

How are solid metal sign letters made?

Accepted Answer

Our solid metal signs are created by cutting individual letters and shapes from a solid sheet of metal using a water-jet or laser.

Question 21

What materials can I choose from for solid metal sign letters?

Accepted Answer

Our flat cut metal sign letters are available in:Aluminum (Alloy 5052)Stainless Steel (Alloy 304)Marine Grade Stainless Steel (Alloy 316)Brass (Alloy C280)Bronze (Alloy C22000)Copper (C11000)Cor-Ten Steel

Question 22

How tall can solid metal letters be?

Accepted Answer

Solid metal sign elements can be ordered as short as 1/2 inch tall up to 95 inches tall as a single piece depending on the metal material and finish. For letters under 4" tall, or over 36" tall, please request a custom quote.Letters larger than 95 inches will be delivered as multiple pieces (e.g., 2 pieces to form a single letter).

Question 23

How thick can solid metal letters be?

Accepted Answer

The following thicknesses are available based on the material you select:Aluminum = 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch thickBrass = 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 inch thick.Bronze = 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch thick.	 	 Copper = 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 inch thick.	Stainless Steel = 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch thick.Cor-Ten Steel = 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick

Question 24

What finishes can I choose from?

Accepted Answer

Finishes vary based on the material you select.  Each material is available in brushed and polished finishes.  Aluminum sign letters can be anodized with a  coating that provides greater corrosion resistance, and can color the surface (e.g., gold, light bronze, black).Bronze, brass, and copper letters are available in light, medium, and dark aged finishes - achieved through oxidization.Bronze and brass are also available in weathered patinas such as turquoise and verde patinas.Custom finishes can also be created.  Contact us for more information.

Question 25

Can solid metal letters be painted?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can paint your solid metal letters in any color you like (e.g., Pantone, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore).  Check out our painted aluminum letters to learn more.

Question 26

Where can solid metal letters be installed?

Accepted Answer

Solid metal letters can be installed inside or outside and are warrantied for life. We provide mounting options that allow you to mount your letters on walls (i.e., back mounts), hang them overhead (i.e., top mounts), and stand them up on end (i.e., bottom mounts.)Aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper are not intended for coastal or marine environments (within 50 miles of the ocean). For these areas we encourage you to select either Marine-Grade Stainless Steel letters, or one of our Anodized Aluminum letter products in either clear, black, gold, champagne, light bronze, bronze, or dark bronze.

Question 27

How do I install my solid metal letters?

Accepted Answer

The installation process varies based on the mounting option you have selected for your letters (e.g., double-sided tape, studs on back).  Please visit our sign installation page to find videos, tutorials, technical drawings, and other installation resources

Question 28

What is anodization?

Accepted Answer

Anodization is an electrochemical process that creates a protective, thicker layer of aluminum oxide on the surface of aluminum. This process makes the aluminum surface harder, more durable, and resistant to corrosion. It also makes the surface porous, which allows us to color this oxide layer.Anodized aluminum sign letters are a popular choice for outdoor applications for three main reasons:1. Enhanced Durability and Protection: The anodized layer is significantly harder than raw aluminum, providing exceptional resistance to scratches, abrasion, and general wear and tear. This protective layer also makes the letters highly resistant to corrosion, including from harsh environments like salt spray (important for seaside locations) and chemicals.2. Longer Lifespan: Due to the increased hardness and corrosion resistance, anodized aluminum sign letters generally last much longer than unanodized or painted aluminum.3. Aesthetic Appeal and Color Stability: Anodization allows for a wide range of colors to be permanently integrated into the aluminum's surface, offering a consistent and appealing finish that won't chip, peel, or fade from UV exposure as easily as painted surfaces. The process also preserves the metal's natural metallic luster.
