Custom Routed Panels Offer A Substantial Look
Route Your Letters Out of a Panel, or Route the Shape
Around the Letters into a Panel
Illuminated Panels - In addition to individually routed letters, sometimes clients prefer to route letters out of a panel with the letters “missing” to reveal a recessed background color, and then illuminated from within. The panel becomes the primary shape, and can be “layered” with other elements, and formed into a “lightbox” to contain the lights.
Metal Panels - Or perhaps a client might choose a solid, contoured metal panel shape and then add a digital image or dimensional letters applied to the face. This panel can be thick aluminum stud mounted to a wall, or thin aluminum screwed to the wall, and then down-lighted for a more dramatic effect.
Acrylic/Foam Panels - Some clients want a sign with depth, so they choose a 2” thick foam panel with a smooth acrylic face and add digital or vinyl graphics to the face. This thick sign panel can be pin mounted and siliconed to a wall, and up or down-lighted for nighttime use.
Acrylic Panels – Similar to foam panels, these are simply routed out shapes of ¼” to ½” thick acrylic which can be “puzzle fit” into each other or layered on top of each other.
Recessed Panels – One technique is to route “down into” a thick aluminum panel, so that the graphics are “recessed”, and then the background image is paint filled. This gives a multi-layered look using only one piece of material.
