Choosing a 3D letter sign: stainless steel, acrylic or neon?
A shopfront sign stays in front of customers for years, so choosing the material isn't only a matter of taste. In hot, humid coastal climates some materials fail far sooner than others.
Stainless-steel letters
Shiny, premium and durable. Good-grade stainless steel lasts for years in coastal humidity. It's our first choice for jewellers, corporate offices and luxury brands, and with halo lighting it looks elegant at night too.
Acrylic letters with LED
The best night-time visibility and a wide colour range, ideal for shops and restaurants open in the evening. LED and power-supply quality decide how long the sign lasts.
Neon
Eye-catching and energetic, great for cafés and interiors. Modern LED neon uses little power and lasts a long time.
The golden rule
Before fabrication, ask for a mock-up on a real photo of your facade. We do this for every sign so you see the result before you pay.
