The Benchmark in Architectural Metal Lettering
Our Materials & Finishes: A Palette for Design Professionals
Solid Brass Lettering
The classic choice for warmth and sophistication, our solid brass letters are available in a range of finishes to suit your project's aesthetic.
- Polished Brass: A flawless, mirror-like finish that delivers the ultimate statement of luxury and captures light with brilliant clarity.
- Brushed (Satin) Brass: A sophisticated and versatile finish featuring a fine, unidirectional grain that provides a soft, elegant sheen.
- Antique & Patinated Brass: Our specialty. We employ a multi-stage, in-house artisan process to create authentically aged, oxidized, and oil-rubbed finishes. This technique imparts a deep, characterful patina, perfect for heritage projects or for adding a unique, time-honored aesthetic to modern spaces
Stainless Steel Lettering
For a clean, modern aesthetic and exceptional durability, our stainless steel letters are the industry benchmark.
- Polished Stainless Steel: A bright, contemporary mirror finish that creates a sharp, high-impact look.
- Brushed (Satin) Stainless Steel: The professional standard for architectural signage, offering a clean, durable, and sophisticated appearance with a subtle lustre.
- Material Grades for Performance: We specify our materials to ensure lasting performance. We use 304 Grade Stainless Steel as our high-quality standard for all applications.
- For projects in coastal locations or other demanding exterior environments, we recommend and supply 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel for its superior corrosion resistance
The Pushing the Envelope
Advanced Customization & Bespoke Detailing
For projects that demand a truly unique identity, we go beyond standard lettering to offer a suite of advanced customization services. Our technical capabilities allow us to transform metal letters into intricate pieces of art, fully integrated with your design narrative and functional requirements.
Surface Etching: We can chemically etch complex patterns and decorative motifs directly onto the face of laser cut letters.
Imagine a hotel's signage featuring a subtle, etched local map, or a corporate logo with an intricate background pattern, adding a layer of storytelling and sophistication to the brand identity.
Integrated Braille & Tactile Elements:
We are equipped to produce fully compliant architectural signage that incorporates tactile elements, including Braille for accessibility. These features can be seamlessly integrated into the design, as seen with room numbers, ensuring your project is both beautiful and inclusive.
