Non-Illuminated 3D Metal Letters for Architectural Branding
Dimensional Fabricated Letters are premium non-illuminated metal signage solutions designed for bold architectural branding. Unlike flat-cut letters, fabricated letters are constructed with formed metal sides (returns), creating a deeper three-dimensional structure starting at a minimum depth of 0.75 inches.
Manufactured from aluminum or stainless steel, these letters provide long-term durability, structural strength, and strong visual impact for both interior and exterior applications.
What Are Fabricated Metal Letters?
Fabricated letters are built by forming and welding metal faces and sides together, creating a hollow internal structure.
This construction method delivers:
-
Greater depth compared to flat cut letters
-
Stronger structural rigidity
-
Enhanced shadow lines
-
A more prominent architectural appearance
Because they are non-illuminated, dimensional fabricated letters are ideal for projects requiring a powerful 3D presence without integrated lighting components.

Dimensional fabricated letters can be installed using either flush mounting or stud mounting methods depending on structural and design requirements.
Each order includes a full-scale installation template showing exact drilling positions.
Stud Mount Installation (Projected Mount)
-
Clean and prepare the mounting surface
-
Align the installation template using a level
-
Secure the template to the wall
-
Drill holes at marked positions
-
Remove the template
-
Insert anchors if required
-
Apply silicone into drilled holes
-
Attach threaded studs to the back of each letter
-
Push letters into drilled holes
-
Confirm spacing and alignment
-
Allow adhesive to cure
Stud mounting creates spacing between the wall and the letter, enhancing dimensional shadow effects.
Flush Mount Installation
-
Align template and mark drilling points
-
Drill holes as indicated
-
Insert anchors if required
-
Apply silicone or appropriate fasteners
-
Mount letters so they sit tight against the wall
-
