PRODUCTS
While some of our jobs are hand
cut, others may be produced utilizing the latest technology in computerized
cutting. But, you can be sure that every letter is hand finished with
sharp corners and smooth, straight edges, eliminating the radius corners seen
on lesser quality router cut and even water-jet cut letters. Even though
we use computers to maintain precision, our oxidized, satin and polished
finishes are more of an art, relying on fine, old-fashioned craftsmanship that
is just no longer available from large letter manufacturers. Every job
that leaves our premises exemplifies our incessant attention to detail and
uncompromising quest for the highest quality, coupled with a timely delivery
at competitive prices.

Some of our jobs are cut the
"old fashioned" way, i.e. by hand, utilizing various types of saws
required for the job. We then sand and file all edges and corners to a
fine smooth finish. Other jobs are produced utilizing computer driven
cutters. Letters generated on computer driven cutters will have radius
"inside" corners. Some manufacturers will offer you these type
of letters as an alternative option to their regular line of letters and
logos. We believe that offering our customers inferior quality letters,
letters not true to style and design specification is NOT AN OPTION.
Our computer cut letters receive the same finish and attention to detail as
our hand cut letters. They too, will have all edges and corners sanded
and filed to a fine smooth finish. Hand cut letters and computer
generated ones are offered to you at the same competitive price.
Sandblasted
Edges
Unless otherwise requested, the
edges of all letters receive a fine sandblasted finish to produce a matte
uniform appearance.
Drilling
and Tapping
Our prices include
drilling and tapping, threaded studs and installation templates. When
the style and size of a letter allow, we will drill a minimum of three
holes per letter, at times, four. Thread sizes will vary from 0-80
to 1/4-20. Unlike other manufacturers who are unwilling or unable to
drill and tap 1/8" thick material, we are quite capable of doing so,
eliminating the need for cumbersome unwieldy spot welded studs. Threaded
studs and installation templates are provided with each job.
Installation
Templates
This is where we really
shine. Early on, we used to install our products and have always
maintained that the most beautifully produced job will look quite worthless
and most unattractive if installed carelessly and sloppily.
There is nothing worse, during and after an installation, than having
mismatched hole locations on letters and templates or having letters installed
crooked. Our solution to this issue is exactly what we provide you
with. Upon receipt of your order, we take your computer generated art,
hard copy of your art, scanned and converted to a computer file, or our
computer generated art specified for your job, and enter it in our
program. Hole locations are placed on each letter. All
"like" letters have identical hole locations and are
interchangeable. There is no need to number the letters and the
template. We use the very same computer art file to cut the letters,
mark and/or drill the back of the letters for tapping, and then draw the
template itself. Each job's art files are stored in our computer for
future need or reference. Later, should you need a replacement letter
with the same hole locations or a copy of the original installation template,
it is readily available. Our templates will provide your installer with
the utmost ease of operation, resulting in a most attractive finished
product.

Packing
and Shipping
Letters and logos are skin packed. Each
package includes all necessary installation hardware and templates. Jobs
are shipped to you via common carrier. When necessary, certain jobs will
be crated and, if required, trucked.
