Storefront Channel Letters

Channel letter signs are commonly used by retail stores, restaurants, office buildings, grocery stores, malls, shopping centers, manufacturing facilities, schools, churches, medical offices, and other businesses and organizations. These three-dimensional signs are created by forming individual letters, numbers, symbols, logos, or custom shapes and arranging them to produce a complete building sign.

Each channel is typically constructed with durable metal sides and an acrylic face. The acrylic face can be produced in different colors and transparency levels, allowing your storefront sign to closely match your branding and provide effective illumination when lighting is included.

Channel letters may be attached to a supporting raceway or flush-mounted directly to the building. A raceway contains the electrical components and supports the complete sign, while flush-mounted channel letters are individually secured to the building facade for a clean, streamlined appearance. You can use channel letters to display your company name, slogan, logo, address, or other recognizable brand elements. With numerous color, size, font, depth, and style options available, channel letter signs can be customized for almost any business.

Dimensional Letters

Dimensional letter signs are similar to channel letter signs because both are composed of individually created letters, numbers, logos, or symbols. However, dimensional letters are generally cut from solid sheets of acrylic, metal, PVC, foam, or another durable sign material rather than formed with a hollow interior channel.

Dimensional letters are available in many sizes, colors, styles, fonts, materials, and thicknesses. This allows you to control how far the letters project from the mounting surface, from a subtle raised appearance to lettering that extends several inches from the wall.

Dimensional letters are ideal for restaurants, retail stores, offices, malls, manufacturing facilities, schools, and professional buildings. They can also be used for indoor signs, lobby signs, reception-area branding, directional signs, and office identification.

Whether installed indoors or outdoors, dimensional lettering can give your business name or logo a polished appearance while helping customers identify your company.

Backlit & Illuminated Channel Signs

Channel letter signs can provide even greater visibility with the addition of energy-efficient LED lighting. An illuminated sign helps customers identify your business at night, during poor weather, and throughout early-morning or evening operating hours.

Front-lit channel letters direct light through the acrylic face of each letter, creating a bright and highly visible storefront sign. Backlit or halo-lit channel letters direct light toward the wall behind the lettering, producing a distinctive glow around the edges. Some custom channel signs combine both front and back illumination for additional visual impact.Extreme Signage can help you select the appropriate lighting style, face color, letter depth, and mounting method for your building and branding.

Our team manages the complete illuminated channel letter process, including sign design, fabrication, mounting, installation of approved electrical components, and final cleanup. We carefully position each element to produce a balanced and professional finished sign. If your business operates during evening or nighttime hours, a backlit or illuminated channel letter sign can significantly improve your visibility and help customers find your location.
