Non-lit Channel Letters
Our non-lit channel letters offer a cost-effective solution for projects where illumination is restricted by zoning ordinances or simply unnecessary. Built with the same robust welded aluminum construction as our illuminated letters, these provide a premium, permanent architectural look with significantly reduced installation time and zero long-term electrical maintenance.
Key Benefits
Simplified Installation: No power supplies, wiring, LED modules, or electrical permits required.
Cost-Effective: Lower manufacturing costs and zero ongoing energy consumption compared to illuminated signs.
Maximum Durability: All-aluminum construction is rust-proof and withstands severe weather conditions better than plastic alternatives.
Zoning Friendly: Often the preferred choice in historic districts or areas with strict light pollution regulations.
Technical Specifications
Letter Build: All-aluminum welded construction (.040″ returns / .063″ backs).
Depths: Standard depths from 2″ to 5″ available.
Faces: Typically open-faced aluminum or closed with matching aluminum faces.
Finish: Polyurethane automotive-grade paint (Custom PMS matching), brushed aluminum, or polished stainless steel finishes.
Mounting Options
Standoff Mount (Projected): Installed with spacers (studs) off the wall. This creates natural shadow effects behind the letters for added depth. (Recommended).
Flush Mount: Mounted flat directly against the building facade for a solid appearance.
Raceway/Panel Mount: Can be pre-mounted on a carrier for faster installation on difficult surfaces, similar to lit letters.
Mounting pieces
We ship backlit channel letters with all the pieces needed for installation. Everything needed for installation is included in the package. This includes cables, transformer, screws, nylon dowels, and steel elevation brackets.
