TRIMLESS VS. TRIM CAP

TRIMLESS CHANNEL LETTERS

Experience the epitome of minimalist sophistication with our trimless channel letters.  This style offers a seamless, clean aesthetic that effortlessly blends into any architectural setting.  With no visible trim, your message or logo takes center stage, making a bold statement that commands attention.  Benefits of trimless channel letters include:

1.  Sleek Design:  The absence of visible trim creates a streamlined appearance that enhances the overall look of your signage.

2.  Modern Appeal:  Perfect for businesses seeking a contemporary and upscale image, trimless channel letters exude sophistication and style.  Great for high end interiors.

3.  Versatile Application:  Whether mounted flush against a wall or installed on a raceway, trimless channel letters seamlessly integrate into various architectural environments.

LETTERS WITH TRIM CAP

For a classic yet eye-catching signage solution, look no further than our channel letters with trim cap. These letters feature a durable trim cap outlining each character, adding depth and definition to your message. The trim cap not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides structural integrity, ensuring longevity and durability. Benefits of channel letters with trim cap include:

1.  Enhanced Visibility:  The trim cap adds definition to the letters, making them stand out even in busy environments or during nighttime.

2.  Customizable Options:  Choose from black or white trim cap to complement your brand’s face color and either contrast or match the return color.

3.  Structural Integrity:  The trim cap not only adds visual appeal but also provides structural support, ensuring that your channel letters maintain their shape and withstand the rigors of outdoor exposure for years to come.

CHANNEL LETTER STYLES

NON-ILLUMINATED

For a more understated approach, opt for non-illuminated channel letters, perfect for businesses looking for signage solutions that rely on natural or ambient lighting sources.  Non-illuminated channel letters are constructed out of aluminum faces and returns (sides), and are simply hollow metal letters.  They can be mounted flush using studs or a raceway, or projection mounted using studs.  They’re the most cost-effective and easy to install option if you’re looking to make your brand stand out on your building.  Choose either the trimless or trim cap finishes.

FACE LIT

Light up your client’s brand message with face lit channel letters, where the internal LEDs illuminate the face of each letter, ensuring maximum visibility both day and night.  Face lit are likely the most popular type of channel letters.  They’re made with aluminum returns, typically 3″ deep depending on the letter size, and have an acrylic face where the LED lighting will shine through.  The acrylic can be colored any way you’d like to best represent your brand.  Face lit letters can be made with the trimless  or trim cap finish.

REVERSE “HALO” LIT

Make a lasting impression with reverse lit channel letters, where the light is directed onto the wall behind the letters, creating a captivating halo effect that adds depth and drama to your signage.  They’re great for high end locations, interiors, and due to their more subtle lighting than face lit, great for lower light or residential areas.  Reverse lit letters, also referred to as “halo” lit, are constructed using a metal face and returns, but have a clear acrylic back so the light can be seen shining from behind each letter.  These trimless letters are best mounted with studs and projection away from the wall so there’s plenty of illumination behind each letter.

SIDE LIT

Achieve a dynamic and striking look with side lit trimless channel letters, where the light emits from the sides of the letters, producing a subtle glow that highlights the contours and shapes of each character.  Side lit channel letters offer another very modern and cool way to display your company name and logo.  They’re a unique and elegant option, great for interiors.  They’re made from aluminum faces and backers, but the sides are molded from clear acrylic which allows the LED lighting to illuminate from the returns of the letters and give a look like no other.

MOUNTING OPTIONS

STUD MOUNTED

Each channel letter will be mounted to the building or wall individually with threaded metal studs.  The studs can vary in length depending on the wall type and thickness, and can allow letters to sit flush to the wall or applied with spacers to be projected away from the wall.  Projection is needed when choosing the reverse “halo” lit letters so there’s adequate space behind each letter for the illumination.

RACEWAY MOUNTING

A raceway is a hollow metal beam that each individual channel letter can be attached to prior to mounting on the wall or building.  Mounting your channel letters on the raceway allows you to have less points that need to be anchored to your building.  It also allows you to conceal electrical wires from the LED lights and all your power supplies inside, therefore making installation on site a little easier.  Raceways are often painted in a similar color to the wall being mounted on so they’re slightly less noticeable.

Frequently Asked Channel Letter Questions

What is the minimum size for channel letters?

With our trimless style of channel letters, the minimum height is 8″ tall and the minimum stroke of each letter is 2″ wide.

What is trim cap?

The trim cap on a channel letter refers to a flexible plastic border that is formed in the shape of the letter and surrounds the entire perimeter of the letter.  It serves to ajoin the faces of the letters to the retuns, making a sort of border that you see when viewing the faces of the letters.  It also allows for the faces of each letter to be removed with the simple untightening of set screws that afixes the trim cap the to returns.  We currently offer the trim in black or white, along with the same for the returns, so you can choose to match or contrast your return color.

What does "trimless" mean?

The style of channel letters that we produce called “trimless” means it’s made without the use of trim cap.  The trim cap is a border that is formed in the shape of the letter and ajoins the faces of the letters to the retuns.  With our trimless letters, we eliminate the trim cap, giving a different look.  Rather than each letter having a sort of board, the trimless offer a much more sleek and clean look.  This makes trimless letters excellent for signs that will mount inside and will be viewed at more close proximity and at eye level.  In addition, due to the way our trimless letters are construced and sealed, there’s less chance of water or moisture buildup in the letters, which could lead to the growth of mold or discoloration, and reduces the need to drill holes in the letter which could lead to unwanted light escaping.

Are the channel letter signs UL Listed?

Currently we use UL listed LED lights and power supplies in all our illuminated signage.
