Built up Perspex lettering- construction
Built up Perspex lettering is made from two basic components;
Face letter.
This is a basic flat cut letter with a lip machined on the rear of the display side. The lip allows the side wall to fit into the display lettering leaving a smooth, flush surface finish. We use 5mm thick Perspex for your letter fronts to give a stronger finished product.
All face letters are precision machined on CNC routing equipment.
Side walls.
The sides of your built up Perspex lettering are made from 3mm thick Perspex. Each side wall starts out as a flat strip of Perspex. We machine in scored bend points which tally with the perimeter shapes of the face letters.
Once the side wall lengths are machined they are then bent and formed to create an accurate letter outline shapes.
Colours.
You can choose to have side walls and letters made from the same colour Perspex or you can specify contrasting colours; the choice is yours.
Built up Perspex lettering- bonding.
With the face letters and formed side walls made we now clamp the two parts
together and cement them using approved Perspex or Plexiglas adhesives.
When dry the cement forms a clear joint which will not affect the illumination values of your built up Perspex lettering- construction.
