Your channel letters project, step by step
Survey the storefront
Review viewing distance, fascia dimensions, wall construction, power availability and landlord criteria before selecting letter size.
Compare lighting and mounting
Review front-lit and halo-lit options, raceway or individual mounting, colors and a proof on the building.
Resolve approvals and production details
Confirm landlord approval, applicable permits, mounting specifications and electrical responsibilities before fabrication.
Install and check at night
Coordinate access and the electrical connection, then review alignment, illumination and service access with the finished installation.
Channel Letters questions we hear most
How big should my channel letters be?
Letter height depends on viewing distance. As a rule, every inch of letter height adds about 10 feet of readable distance, so 18-inch letters read from roughly 180 feet.
Do I need a raceway?
Many landlords require one because it keeps wiring in a single enclosure. Flush mounting looks cleaner but requires more wall penetrations.
What needs to be confirmed before channel letters are made?
Confirm the final proof, landlord criteria, approved dimensions, mounting method, power requirements and any required approvals. Fabricating before those decisions are settled can cause rework.
What should a channel-letter quote include?
Ask for letter dimensions, illumination type, mounting, material specifications, electrical responsibilities, access equipment and any separate approval or permit costs.
