Exterior Sign by Iconography. Fabricated steel letters polished to a mirror-finish add a level of sophistication to this upscale day spa located between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA.
Stainless steel fabricated letters are the perfect architectural letters for retail or other businesses where high-end quality fabrication is a must. These custom fabricated letters are made from steel with 1/2″ returns, meaning the sides of the letters are 1/2″ deep. Once the letters are fabricated, the steel is polished to a mirror finish. Stainless steel letters can also be finished in a brushed or painted surface. Gold titanium coating is also an option to provide the look of brass at a fraction of the cost of brass letters.
Stainless steel letters offer virtually unlimited design potential as the letters and logos can be produced at the size and depths you specify. Our stainless steel letters are made in the USA, and come with a lifetime guarantee at their originally installed location. With lead-free solder and crisp 90º edges, our stainless steel letters offer the technical specifications required of such letters with the utmost in beauty and quality.
Why Chose Steel for Exterior Sign Letters?
Steel fabricated letters offer exceptional durability, weather resistance, and a high-end, 3D aesthetic for indoor/outdoor branding. They are highly customizable in size, font, and finish (brushed, polished, or painted). These lightweight, long-lasting signs are cost-effective, easy to maintain, and can be illuminated with LEDs.
Steel fabricated letters are a premium signage choice valued for their professional aesthetic and long-term performance. Unlike cast letters, which are poured into molds, fabricated letters are crafted by cutting, bending, and welding metal sheets to create hollow, three-dimensional structures with crisp edges and precise detail.
