Stainless steel letters are a favorite among our metropolitan customers because they are looking for heavy-duty industrial sign lettering. Our coastal clients come to us for stainless steel lettering because of its corrosion and tarnishing resistance to marine and harsh environments. Contractors and artists buy decorative stainless steel letters because they offer good welding and can be cut in any font plus shapes and logos.
Offered in two alloys, the C304 offers some corrosion resistance and is economically more viable for those who will not be exposing the lettering to harsh environments. The Alloy 316 offers better corrosion and tarnishing resistance against sea air and other extreme elements. Either material can be brushed for a natural satin finish or buffed to a perfectly reflective polished finish.
The paper template shows the location of the studs and the proper alignment and spacing of the lettering. Mounting studs are threaded prongs that screw into the back of the letter, are coated with construction grade adhesive, and set in holes drilled into the wall. Spacers are available for offset mounting that can create more dimension for the letters on the surface and produce a nice drop shadow. Unless specified for stud mount at an additional cost, 1/8" letters are plain mount and can be mounted with adhesive. Letters must be stud mounted for polished finishes.
Each letter is made custom per order and rushed production is not possible. This product is not returnable. Colors and finishes may vary from the screen. Ships within 5-7 business days. Wash with warm soapy water as harsh chemicals can cause permanent damage to the material surface. Contact Us with questions regarding sizes, finishes, or mounting.
Font Height
The letter height you order is based on the uppercase letter "A" of the font you specify.
Depending on the font, some uppercase/lowercase letters may be shorter or taller than the height
you specify on the order form so they will look proportionate to each other. Therefore, you may
receive some of your lettering in different dimensions than the letter height ordered. If all
lettering is ordered in lower case, we still scale the lettering to an uppercase "A" which will
make most of the letters smaller than what was ordered. Please contact us if you would like to
size your lettering differently from our standards. Please see examples below:
Fractions: Order the next size up and indiciate in the comments field the exact height you want your letters.
For example, to order 2 5/8 Inch height, order 3 Inch and write in the comments "Cut at 2 5/8 Inches"
