Channel letters
Non-Illuminated Channel Letters
Dimension without wiring. No power, no permit for electrical, no maintenance.
Not every sign needs to be lit. Interior lobbies, monument faces, awning bands and landlords who will not permit illumination all take a non-illuminated letter, and it costs a fraction of a lit set to buy and nothing to run.
Three builds. Trimless stepped face, rear access is acrylic with the face bonded to the returns — no visible trim, a sleek modern edge. Trimless face, front access shapes a single layer of acrylic into a stepped profile so face and returns read as one piece. Standard channel letter uses a .177″ acrylic face and trim cap on metal returns, which adds depth and definition to each character.
