Numerous Colors
|
Our painted, fabricated numbers & letters are produced from flat sheets of 22-gauge Alloy C304 Stainless Steel. We paint these pieces with any of our standard colors that are baked enamel (similar to automotive paint applications). Pieces in this category are recommended for retail or architectural letters or numbers where high-end quality fabrication is required.
Reminder: C304 alloy is not recommended for corrosive environments such as salt-water beach locations, etc. Consider the alloy C316 manufactured as a flat-cut metal for such environments.

Our fabricated Stainless Steel numbers &
letters are available in the Stainless Steel alloy C304. This alloy
allows our plant to precisely cut the various pieces to be welded
together. This alloy provides excellent corrosion resistance,
effectively combating tarnishing under most circumstances. Pieces in
this category are recommended for retail or architectural letters or
numbers where high-end quality fabrication is required.

Our Titanium-coated stainless steel provided the ultimate "gold" finish. This material is C304 stainless steel coated with a thin
layer of tinted titanium. Other colors of titanium-coated stainless are available upon request. Pieces in this category are recommended
for retail or architectural letters or numbers where high-end quality fabrication is required.

Production Method:
Precision-guided lasers, routers or jigsaws are used to cut the requested letter, logo or shapes from thin gauge sheets of stainless steel. For most letters, 22-gauge material provides the proper balance of strength and weights, while some larger letters require 20- gauge material to provide adequate strength. The letter returns are produced from narrow band material or cut to size based on the desired letter depth and bent to the contour of the laser-cut faces to produce a hollow-backed letter with 90 degree angle edges that have clean, crisp corners. The elements of this construction are hand-soldered using a lead-free silver solder. Tests on these welds indicate the ability to withstand temperatures below -40 degrees F and exceeding 350 degrees F. Uncoated or Titanium-coated stainless will have thin lines of exposed silver solder & stainless where there is a weld. These tiny lines will be buffed smooth on polished pieces and stroked on satin pieces
to maintain consistency in appearance.
All fabricated products are either buffed, stoked or painted per specification. The standard polished material is a high-grade, single
directional polish. Virtually no grain is visible to the naked eye on these polished pieces.

Hardware Configuration: |
 |
 |
 |
|
Brackets (see the photos above - Click Photo to Enlarge) are soldered on the inside back of the letters to receive threaded studs. This involves a welded strap joining the letter's returns with a stud welded boss to accept mounting studs centered in the strap. This method produces a strong fabricated letter by giving strength to the already-formidable welded side returns. The workable space in the hollow of the fabricated piece dictate which combination of mounting hardware is used. As can be seen from the
above photos. wide-stroked pieces will usually have straps with stud bosses soldered to them. Narrow-stoked pieces will have stud bosses soldered directly to the side or back of the piece. Intermediate-sized pieces may have a combination of the previous two methods.
