Channel letters
Visualise your sign
Illuminated letters preserve the exact shape of a brand while creating strong visibility. Depth, face material, LED layout and fixing method are adapted to the letter height, typeface, façade and desired lighting effect. The key is to balance proportions, even illumination and serviceability.

Questions and answers
How do we choose the right letter height?
It depends on viewing distance and façade proportions. The calculator gives a starting point, but the final size should be checked on a site photo.
What is halo lighting?
Light is projected onto the wall behind the letter, creating a soft outline. It is especially effective on dark or textured surfaces.
Can you match a precise brand colour?
Usually yes, but daytime surface colour and illuminated night colour can be perceived differently, so priorities should be defined early.
Do the letters have to be mounted individually?
Not always. A common rail or backing panel may reduce installation time and the number of holes in the façade.
Can very small letters be illuminated?
There are technical limits for LEDs, wiring and internal space. For small sizes, routed or non-illuminated solutions can be more practical.
Specific materials, scope and technical construction are agreed after reviewing the site.
