Industries That Rely on Channel Letters
Our Channel Letters Process
Survey the storefront
Review viewing distance, fascia dimensions, wall construction, power availability and landlord criteria before selecting letter size.
Compare lighting and mounting
Review front-lit and halo-lit options, raceway or individual mounting, colors and a proof on the building.
Resolve approvals and production details
Confirm landlord approval, applicable permits, mounting specifications and electrical responsibilities before fabrication.
Install and check at night
Coordinate access and the electrical connection, then review alignment, illumination and service access with the finished installation.
Channel Letters FAQs
What is the difference between front-lit and halo-lit channel letters?
Front-lit letters glow through a colored acrylic face. Halo-lit letters are closed on the front and project light backward onto the wall for a soft outline effect. Many clients combine both.
Do channel letters need an electrician?
Yes. The primary electrical connection must be made by a licensed electrician. We coordinate that work as part of the installation.
What needs to be confirmed before channel letters are made?
Confirm the final proof, landlord criteria, approved dimensions, mounting method, power requirements and any required approvals. Fabricating before those decisions are settled can cause rework.
What should a channel-letter quote include?
Ask for letter dimensions, illumination type, mounting, material specifications, electrical responsibilities, access equipment and any separate approval or permit costs.
