Fabricated stainless steel (S/S) backlit letters with a brushed finish are a premium signage solution widely used in retail stores, commercial buildings, shopping malls, hospitality environments, and corporate branding. These high-end illuminated letters combine a sleek, modern appearance with outstanding durability and eye-catching lighting effects, making them a preferred choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.
These letters are expertly crafted using high-grade 304 stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and refined appearance. The face of each letter is made from 1.2mm thick stainless steel with a brushed finish that enhances the visual texture, offering a clean and contemporary look that exudes professionalism and elegance. The brushed surface not only adds aesthetic value but also helps reduce visible fingerprints and minor scratches, maintaining the sign’s pristine appearance over time.
The sides, also known as the “returns,” are fabricated using 0.8mm thick stainless steel, precision-welded to the face to form a strong, seamless three-dimensional letter structure. The depth of each letter can range from 10mm to 200mm, depending on the desired design and application requirements. This custom depth option allows for flexibility in design and ensures the letters can be tailored to various architectural environments and branding styles.
To create the signature halo lighting effect, a 10mm thick opal or frost white acrylic panel is installed on the back of each letter. This acrylic layer diffuses the internal light evenly and softly, casting a refined glow onto the mounting surface behind the letters. The internal LED strips are carefully installed inside the hollow structure to provide energy-efficient, long-lasting illumination. These high-brightness LEDs are available in various color temperatures or RGB options, allowing clients to match their brand identity or ambiance requirements.
For installation, each letter is fitted with mounting pins at the rear. These pins create a small standoff—typically 10mm to 50mm—from the wall or backing panel, allowing the halo effect to shine unobstructed and giving the signage a floating, dimensional appearance. This method also ensures a clean and secure mounting solution while minimizing damage to the wall surface.
Fabricated stainless steel backlit letters with a brushed face are an excellent choice for businesses looking to make a lasting impression. They offer a premium feel, high visibility during nighttime, and a sophisticated look during the day. Their durability ensures they withstand harsh environments, while the brushed stainless steel and backlit design enhance the brand’s professionalism and visibility.
Whether used on shopfronts, reception areas, or building exteriors, these signs add value to your space and elevate your brand image. With customizable sizes, depths, and lighting options, this signage style provides both versatility and striking visual appeal for any project. Contact ACPSIGNS now at jeff@acpsigns.com.010
