The more you know, the better we look™

What are Metal Dimensional Letters?

There are three basic kinds of metal letters, all of which are made to order in many typestyles, sizes, colors and available finishes.

INDEX
Flat-Cut Metal Letters
Foundry Cast Metal Letters
Fabricated Metal Letters and
Fabricated Metal Letters, Lighted

What's the difference in the kinds of metal letters listed in the index above?
Flat letters are, as the name implies, letters made from flat metal. The thickness of the letters is based on the available metal choices, usually ranging from 1/8" (0.125") to 1/2" (0.5"). Available materials include 
  • Aluminum, available in 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4"
  • Copper, available in 1/8, 1/4, 3/8"
  • Brass, available in 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4"
  • Bronze, available in 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2"
  • Steel, available in 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4"

Flat cut letters in aluminum may be anodized for greater strength and weather resistant finishes for an added cost. 










Cast metals are available with a mill finish and some with orbital brushed or polished finishes; the copper is available with a patina as well. 

60 typestyles to choose from











Foundry Cast Letters are available in 46 standard paint colors as well as aluminum finishing options like anodizing and in bronze patinas as well. As these are made with foundry molds, there are 60 typestyles to choose from.




Fabricated letters are available in almost any style in stainless steel and aluminum. These are best suited for internal illumination for back lit letters.



Metal letters are all priced based on various factors. These include amount of material, amount of processing and labor and hand-finishing time.
