General

Custom cast letters are available in bronze, aluminum and brass with the same finishes and mounting methods as our standard cast letter styles.

Letter Thickness
Standard depths for custom cast letters are:

bullet1/4" Depth
bullet3/8" Depth
bullet

1/2" Depth

 

Letters cast in any of the standard depths will be cast solid, flat-backed.
Deeper letters will require special tooling and will be cast hollow, with return flanges.

Custom Prismatic or Round Faces
In addition to standard flat face letters, many letter styles can be successfully converted to a prismatic face through either CAD equipment or hand carved by a pattern maker.

In addition to prismatic faces, custom round-face letters are available in some letter styles.

Both prismatic & round-face letters are not recommended for letter sizes under 2" in height and may not be appropriate for all letter styles. Contact us before specifying.

Prismatic Round-face

Helpful Hints

round-face cast letters.
