dimensional lettering
Dimensional lettering is signage with depth and no lamp in it. Letters are cut from solid material — cast acrylic, PVC, aluminium plate, brushed or polished stainless, sometimes a metal-laminate face over a lighter core — on a router or laser, then finished, painted or left in the raw material. Thickness ranges from a quarter inch for interior lobby copy to several inches for exterior building identification.
Mounting is what separates a clean install from a crooked one. Flush mounting glues or pins the letters tight to the surface. Stud mounting drills the wall to a paper or vinyl pattern and sets threaded studs in epoxy, optionally on spacers so the letters float and cast a shadow line. Either way the pattern, not the eye, sets the baseline. Because there is no electrical component, dimensional letters are frequently the fastest permit path — and on interior walls, often no permit at all.
