Backlit building letters offer an impressive, illuminated look that enhances your brand’s visibility day and night. These signs are perfect for businesses looking to make a strong statement while ensuring that customers can find their location easily after dark. Here at Bilt Signs, we specialize in designing, fabricating, and installing backlit letters tailored to your business’s unique needs.
Our backlit building letters are available in various styles to meet diverse design and branding requirements:
Halo-Lit Channel Letters: These signs have a subtle, halo-like glow around each letter, providing a refined, elegant look. Ideal for upscale businesses, halo-lit letters create a soft illumination by mounting LED lights behind the letters.
Combination-Lit Channel Letters: For an eye-catching effect, these letters combine both front and halo lighting, making them a standout choice for businesses that want bold, layered lighting effects.
Mounting Techniques:
Standoff Mounting: Uses metal standoffs to elevate the sign panel off the wall for a floating effect.
Flush Mounting: Provides a clean, close-to-wall look, ideal for acrylic and metal panels in modern spaces.
Bracket or Frame Mounting: Surrounds the panel with a frame or bracket, providing extra support and aesthetic interest.
Size Variations and Local Ordinances:
Panel lobby signs can range from small, subtle plaques to large focal-point panels. Common dimensions vary from 12” x 24” for compact logos to 48” x 96” for more prominent displays. Some city ordinances may regulate sign sizes in commercial buildings, so it’s essential to check local requirements.
Bilt Signs offers a wide range of materials for our backlit building letters, ensuring longevity and durability in all weather conditions:
Aluminum: Known for its rust resistance, aluminum is a top choice for exterior letters. It can be powder-coated to match your brand colors and is lightweight yet durable.
Acrylic: Acrylic faces allow for vibrant light diffusion. This material is highly customizable, comes in various colors, and works well in combination-lit and front-lit letters.
Stainless Steel: Ideal for businesses looking for a premium finish, stainless steel provides durability with a polished, reflective look. It’s often used in halo-lit letters.
Vinyl Accents: For added detail, vinyl overlays can be applied to the acrylic faces of letters, offering additional color and customization options.
Before selecting Backlit Building Letters, it’s important to note that an electrical junction is required behind the wall or in the ceiling above to power the LEDs. We provide the necessary power supply (transformer), but adequate access in the wall and ceiling will be needed for wiring. Lighting the Building Letters can significantly increase both the cost of the letters and the installation.
Lit Panel Signs simplifies installation when accessing wiring is challenging or the wall surface is unsuitable. This method allows you to connect the entire setup to a single electrical junction for easier installation and a cleaner look.
Our proven process guarantees that both you and your signage are well taken care of at every stage of the project.
