Description

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

Construction

Brass 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

Brass 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.

Applications

1. Indoor or outdoor applications
2. Casino spectaculars
3. Shops & shopping centres
4. Hotels and restaurants
5. Primary pylon signage
6. Corporate signage

Finishes

Since brass is susceptible to discolouration by oxidation , it is generally protected by a coat of clear varnish.
It may be spraypainted.
It polishes to a high gloss and is ideal for chrome plating.

Sizes

1. Letters from ± 200 to 1 200 mm in height, and
2. 70 to 200 mm depth when illuminated, or
3. 20 to 200 mm depth for non-illuminated letters

Installation

Depending on use of illumination, brass fabricated letters may be mounted flat onto any flat surface, or mounted
off any surface on pin.
