Open Face Exposed Neon Channel Letters

Custom Open Face Neon Channel Letters

Traditional channel letters outfitted with unique neon lighting are especially popular for their bright and retro aesthetic, often used by businesses aiming to capture a classic or vintage atmosphere.

Similar to standard illuminated signs, neon channel letters have a metal or plastic body that forms the shape of each letter. Neon tubes, either glass or LED, are installed in the open face of the channel letters, blending the visual impact of 3D letters with the classic charm of neon. The vibrant and warm light frequently evokes nostalgic or retro feelings, making these signs a preferred choice for businesses looking to convey a sense of tradition or nostalgia.

Neon Channel Letters For Different Occasions

Neon channel letters are highly versatile and used in various applications to enhance business visibility and branding. Here are some of the primary uses and applications for neon channel letters:

Retail Store Neon Channel Letters

Neon channel letters can attract attention in busy shopping areas, making the store stand out both day and night due to their vibrant and distinctive glow.

Restaurant and Bar Neon Channel Letters

These establishments often use neon channel letters to convey a sense of warmth and welcome, as well as to create a specific ambiance, such as a retro or vintage theme, that attracts customers.

Beauty Salon and Boutique Neon Channel Letters

These businesses often aim for a unique or chic appearance, and neon signs provide a stylish and noticeable way to announce their presence in a competitive market.

Hotel Neon Channel Letters

Neon channel letters can be used to convey luxury and exclusivity, or to evoke nostalgia, depending on the hotel’s branding and design theme.

The type of Neon Channel Letters

LED Neon Channel Letters

These letters are made with a metal channel structure that forms the shape of each letter. Instead of using glass neon tubes, LED neon tubes are used to mimic the effect of neon. One advantage of LED Neon Channel Letters is that they can be powered by batteries, making them particularly suitable for outdoor events and parties where no power supply is available.

Real Glass Neon Channel Letters

Similarly, these also have a metal channel base that forms the contours of the letters. Unlike the LED version, these channels are fitted with real glass neon tubes. They are suitable for those seeking the retro style of traditional neon lighting.

Installation Types of Open Face Exposed Neon Channel Letters

Open Face Exposed Neon Channel Letters can be installed in several ways, depending on the specific requirements and aesthetics desired. Here are the common installation methods:

Direct Mounting to the Wall

The neon channel letters are mounted directly to the building facade or interior wall. Each letter has a separate mounting that is fixed onto the wall using screws and brackets. Electrical connections are made through the back of the letters. Suitable for both exterior and interior signage, providing a flush and streamlined appearance.

Raceway Mounting

The letters are pre-mounted on a rectangular metal box (raceway), which houses the electrical components and wiring. The raceway is then attached to the wall with fewer wall penetrations needed. Often used for exterior installations to simplify the mounting process and reduce the number of wall penetrations.

Backer Panel Mounting

The letters are mounted on a larger panel or backing material that is then affixed to the wall. The panel provides a background for the letters, which can enhance visibility and aesthetic appeal. Ideal for creating a more substantial visual impact or when the wall surface is unsuitable for direct mounting.

Stand-off Mounting

The letters are mounted away from the wall surface using stand-off brackets or spacers. This creates a floating effect, with the letters raised off the wall, adding depth and dimension to the signage. Commonly used for high-end retail or artistic displays where a 3D effect is desired.

Wireway Mounting

Similar to the raceway, but the wireway is typically narrower and may be hidden behind the letters. It provides a channel for the electrical wiring and supports the letters without being visible. Used when a clean, uncluttered look is desired and for minimizing the visibility of mounting hardware.
