Channel lettering is among the most lovely forms of lettering used for not just interior but also outdoor advertising. It is a very cost efficient technique that is emerging as the solution of branding for most entrepreneurs that are conscious of the company image. They are eye catching and are three dimensionally cut from letters and figures. They can be fixed to walls or various other structures. When considering using channel letters Philadelphia residents should know their various benefits.

They are found in different trim colors, and are also found in various styles. The latest designs are resistant to flames or arching. The moment they have been mounted on walls or other structures, there are no maintenance requirements, which makes them very cost effective. The installation process is also very easy, plus one has a wide range of letters they can choose from.

There are different types of the letters. The most common versions are the standard ones. They are manufactured from u-channel bases, with Plexiglas colored faces. The reverse versions have faces made of metal and have a clear plastic backing. When mounted, these do not touch the wall; they are inches away. They appear very nice at night and create a halo effect. The third type is the open-faced one. They are so called because the raw neon is not covered.

For purposes of installation, they are either mounted on rectangular boxes known as raceways or individually. Individual mounting gives rise to more appealing lighting. On the downside however, they are not as cheap as raceway mounting. Further, raceway mounting is much cheaper, with the installation being much quicker. This is because the letters are mounted from the company by the manufacturer.

It is only the raceway that is mounted to walls with the letters already fixed. Mounting individual letters would take much more time because it has to be done at the site. This is done a letter at a time. Even though it is a superior choice, mounting each letter at a time is costly. The use of channel letters requires the business people to use services of experienced personnel.

Manufacturers that are experienced have the relevant technical know-how and expertise which ensures the work is handled professionally. Professional installation also ensures that the signs last for long of without requiring any maintenance. Most of the lettering is manufactured from aluminum that resists corrosion and rust. They are able to resist strong winds or harsh weather but at the same time are light enough to be placed in various sections of the building.

The lettering can be made from neon or using LED lights. The versions that are manufactured from neon have neon tubes designed to match the lettering. There are glowing gases in the tubes. The tube is used at the front part of the sign, in a contrasting or complementing color.

The LED versions are designed in a similar manner. They however have LED lights and not neon within the channels. There are different color combinations available.
