Store Front Lit Building letters are an impactful signage choice, ideal for increasing brand visibility through custom-lit designs. Available in different styles, these letters can be tailored to your brand’s aesthetic and are versatile for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Types of Lit Building Letters:
Front-Lit Channel Letters: Front-lit channel letters are among the most common and popular lit building letters. These letters are individually fabricated with opaque faces and internal illumination that shine through the front, creating a vibrant and attention-grabbing effect. Front-lit building letters offer versatility in terms of font, color, and size, allowing you to customize the signage to align with your brand identity. They are particularly effective for businesses seeking a bold and illuminated presence.
Halo-Lit (Back-Lit) Channel Letters: Halo-lit, also known as back-lit, channel letters create a striking and sophisticated visual effect. These letters are fabricated with translucent faces and a clear or opaque backing, allowing the light to emit from the back and create a halo effect around the letters. The illumination creates a soft and elegant glow, adding depth and dimension to your signage. Halo-lit channel letters are ideal for businesses seeking a more subtle and refined brand representation.
Front and Back-Lit Building Letters: Front and back-lit building letters combine the best of both worlds by featuring both front illumination and a halo effect. These letters are fabricated with translucent faces and an opaque back panel, allowing light to emit from both directions. This combination creates a captivating and visually dynamic signage solution that stands out in any environment. Front and back-lit channel letters offer a balance between boldness and elegance, making them a popular choice for upscale businesses.
Lit Building Letters can be installed using various mounting options, each suited to specific needs and building types:
Raceway Mounting: Letters are pre-mounted on a raceway, a metal box housing the wiring, making installation easier and requiring fewer wall penetrations. This method is commonly used in leased buildings where wall alterations are limited.
Direct Mounting: Letters are directly mounted to the wall’s surface, with wiring concealed behind each letter. This option provides a sleek, close-to-wall look, ideal for buildings with easy access to wiring.
Backer Panel Mounting: Letters are mounted to a panel before the entire panel is installed. This is often used on uneven surfaces or when the sign needs to be moved, offering a cohesive and professional appearance.
Size Variations and Local Ordinances:
Building letters can range from 12 inches to 48 inches or more in height, depending on visibility needs. Standard depths range from 3 to 6 inches for enhanced dimensionality. However, the size and type of sign allowed may be regulated by local city ordinances. These laws can affect both height and width, placement, and lighting intensity, making it crucial to verify sign regulations with your local authority.
Before selecting Lit Channel Letter sign 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. Backlighting can significantly increase both the cost of the letters and the installation.
Lit Building letters are usually mounted to a raceway, which 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.
With a wide range of options and mounting techniques, channel letters are adaptable to fit any brand’s vision while adhering to local requirements. Reach out to Bilt Signs to learn more about the best channel letter solution for your business.
