How Should I Have My Channel Letter Sign Mounted? Top-3 Options
1. Raceway Mounted Channel Letter Signs
With this mounting style, your channel letters are attached directly to the “raceway,” which may project up to 4 inches from the facade.
A “raceway” is a rectangular mount that houses the electrical components of your channel letter signs. It is typically made of metal and comes with an integral mounting flange, integral transformer heat sink, and mounting platform with a water-resistant hingeable cover.
Raceway mounted channel letter signs offer a number of benefits for Conroe business owners. The raceway housing protects your electrical components from moisture and extreme heat, and the hingeable cover provides easy access for repair and maintenance purposes. Raceway mounting is also minimally invasive, reducing the number of holes that need to be drilled into your building, which makes it a great option for business owners in commercial plazas or other rented commercial spaces.
2. Direct, Stud, Or Flush-Mounted Channel Letter Signs
As the name suggests, direct or flush-mounting involves attaching your channel letter sign directly to the facade of your building, typically using all-weather, corrosion-proof fasteners (i.e. studs).
Flush-mounted channel letter signs seamlessly integrate your logo and message with the facade.
The main advantage of this approach is that it allows you to seamlessly integrate your channel letter sign into your building’s architecture. But flush-mounting isn’t for everyone, since the installation process is a bit more involved, and it requires all electrical to be run inside or behind the bulkhead.
3. Wireway-Mounted Channel Letter Signs
Wireways are similar to raceways, but smaller and lighter, composed mostly of aluminum. Whereas raceways house all of the electrical components of the sign, wireways generally only contain wiring, which makes them easier to hide and fit into tight spaces. Like raceways, they are minimally invasive, and wireways are even easier to remove, which makes them a popular choice for business rental spaces. Another advantage of wireway signs is their low protrusion, which helps business owners meet their sign code requirements in areas where wall sign protrusion is strictly regulated.
