The Pros Of Channel Letters Charleston

By Leanne Goff


In considering the use of channel letters Charleston residents ought to be aware that the letters have either type or graphics, or both. These allow clients to easily find and identify businesses. The signs are normally installed on building portions which are well visible and which will allow the letters to be well lit up when it is dark. As such, the signs are useful not only during the day but also when it is dark. Actually, they are better seen in the dark.

One main reason why this technique is preferred to traditional signs is because city building codes normally allow for more square footage with channel letters. Also, when traditional signs are used, there is counting of the rectangle face against allowed square footage. When it comes to channel letters however, it is only lettering that is taken into account. The face of the particular building is never considered as a sign face. Therefore, every letter can be made larger and thus viewed from far.

This technique of advertisement makes use of Light Emitting Diode technology so that customers are able to see them at night. The lettering is constructed using metal or high grade plastic on the sides and translucent colored Plexiglas that serves to allow light to emit from each letter whenever power is turned on.

Using LED technology is far better than neon for a number of reasons. Perhaps most importantly, lighting using neon is expensive and its fabrication takes more time. Moreover, neon lights are easily broken. In terms of friendliness to the environment, neon has mercury and other chemicals that are hazardous. LED lighting lasts long and needs no regular replacement.

The pieces are never limited to letter shapes. They are also able to be formed into logos that help in identifications and branding. The range of colors and fonts in availability is infinite. Further, there is custom molding that is done to the exact specifications of the business owner. For further expansion of possibilities, there can be addition of a three dimensional aspect to the logos. Every letter can be fabricated with bevels or depth added to the logo. This will make the business to be unique and different from the others.

The cost incurred in the installation is dependent on materials utilized. Due to competition from various sign makers however, prices are kept more or less affordable. People that do not know any sign makers will need to use companies that are reliable if they look to be guaranteed of success.

There are various forms of channel lettering. There are raceway mounted ones that are attached to long and narrow rectangular aluminum boxes that are called raceways. They have such electrical components as wirings and power supplies. Instead of getting every letter to be mounted on the walls, they get mounted on a raceway that is mounted on the particular wall.

In considering using channel letters Charleston business owners may also use lettering that is directly mounted. These ones are directly mounted to the surfaces of buildings unlike in the case of raceway mounted ones. Directly mounted letters look cleaner but will need more time to install.
