Nobody does a better job of routing aluminum than Letra-Tek. We can cut aluminum sheets from .020" thick up to 3/4" plate.
Surface Finish
We can ship you the raw aluminum letters unfinished, ready for you to paint -or-
We can have them Powder-Coated -or-
We can Anodize the letters for you. Anodize colors include three different gold (brass) tones, clear, black, red, blue, violet, green and others!
Advantages
1) Durability: Aluminum will obviously outlast plastic letters.
2) Aluminum can be Anodized or Powder-Coated; plastics cannot.
Disadvantages
1) Price: More expensive than plastics; especially true as thickness increases. The material cost for aluminum plate goes up dramatically once you get above 1/4" thick. However, 1/4"-thick Aluminum is still reasonably priced and is often the best material for the job.
Stud Mounting
We use the computer to drill the blind stud holes in your letters, then we use the same computer to draw your installation pattern. The result is an extremely accurate pattern that you can place confidence in. Your installation will be a snap.
