Description

Letters are given a third dimension by the construction of sides off the letter-face, at the same time creating the space to install neon and other lighting techniques if desired.

Construction

Aluminium letters are fabricated by first cutting out the shape of the letter by computer-driven router or laser-cutter. The edges are sanded to a smooth finish. Sides are cut to the depth required, formed to the shape of the face and glued with high-performance adhesives. Mounting pins are fixed to the inside at pre-determined points.

Illumination

Aluminium letters may be internally illuminated using neon to create a halo effect against the background. The neon tubing is bent to shape according to working drawings and mounted onto the perspex carrier with mounting clips. Condoms must be used to protect the electrical connection.
