• Non-illuminated design: Delivers professional architectural signage without wiring, transformers, power supplies, or lighting maintenance.

• Custom fabrication: Produce individual letters, numerals, symbols, custom typography, and brand-logo silhouettes.

• Flexible dimensions: Standard letter heights range from approximately 6" to 48"+, with custom scaling available.

• Interior and exterior applications: Suitable for qualifying installations when the correct construction and mounting method are selected.

• Two mounting options: Choose stud mounting or compatible adhesive mounting according to the installation surface.

• Full-scale installation template: A 1:1 paper layout helps position every element with consistent spacing and alignment.

Brushed Copper Architectural Lettering

The featured natural brushed copper finish combines a warm copper tone with a refined directional grain. Its satin appearance diffuses reflected light more softly than highly polished metal, helping logos and lettering remain sophisticated without excessive glare.

Brushed copper pairs especially well with:

• Brick and natural stone

• Concrete and stucco

• Dark painted walls

• Wood panels

• Glass partitions

• Acrylic backer panels

• Contemporary architectural surfaces

The finish can complement luxury retail environments, restaurants, hotels, corporate offices, reception areas, medical facilities, and commercial building façades.

These letters feature a copper-toned finish over fabricated stainless steel; they should not be described or treated as solid copper unless specifically confirmed in the approved order specifications.

Non-Illuminated 3D Construction

Each custom letter is fabricated with a dimensional face, side returns, and hollow back. This construction creates a bold architectural profile while keeping the completed sign more manageable than fully solid metal lettering of comparable dimensions.

The three-dimensional structure produces natural highlights and shadows as surrounding light changes, improving visual depth without built-in illumination.

Custom fabrication is available for:

• Business names

• Individual letters

• Building numbers

• Department identifiers

• Custom fonts

• Symbols and icons

• Corporate logos

• Complex brand silhouettes

Final manufacturability depends on the overall dimensions, letter height, stroke width, interior openings, depth, mounting method, and structural requirements.

Product Specifications

Stud Mounting

Stud mounting is recommended for many permanent installations. Threaded studs attached to the back of each letter fit into drilled mounting holes in the installation surface.

Stud mounting may be appropriate for:

• Brick

• Concrete

• Stucco

• Masonry

• Wood

• Drywall with suitable anchors

• Compatible architectural wall systems

The wall construction, surface condition, letter dimensions, sign weight, and environmental exposure should be evaluated before installation.

Adhesive Mounting

Compatible high-bond structural adhesive may be used for qualifying smooth-surface applications. Adhesive mounting can create a clean appearance without visible front-facing hardware.

Potential installation surfaces include:

• Smooth interior drywall

• Acrylic backer panels

• Glass partitions

• Finished wood panels

• Compatible interior wall systems

The installer is responsible for choosing an adhesive rated for the letter material, finished weight, mounting surface, temperature, and intended environment.

Installation labor, adhesives, anchors, tools, and other installation materials are not included unless specifically listed in the approved order.

Full-Scale 1:1 Installation Template

Every order includes a full-scale paper layout template designed to help reproduce the spacing and positioning shown in the approved artwork.

Depending on the project, the template may indicate:

• Overall sign placement
