Make the name fit the building
Letter height, stroke width, spacing, capitalization, and mounting location are balanced against the available storefront area and viewing distance.

Channel Letters
Give the building a dimensional signature.
Individually formed letters create a clean, dimensional identity for storefronts, plazas, and commercial buildings.
Best fit
Designed around the way your site gets seen.
- Illuminated channel letters
- Non-lit dimensional letters
- Storefront and plaza identification
- Commercial building signage
Planning factors
From visibility problem to buildable sign.
Every recommendation is shaped around the site, the audience, the business identity, and the practical path to installation.
Select the lighting approach
Front-lit and non-lit dimensional letters create different effects. Site conditions, landlord requirements, local rules, and the desired nighttime presence guide the choice.
Coordinate mounting and power
A site review identifies the wall construction, raceway or direct-mount approach, electrical access, installation equipment, and permit requirements.

Before the first conversation
Bring the useful facts, not a finished specification.
A few real details from the site make it easier to compare the right sign directions and define a practical next step.
- 01
Measure the usable sign band
Photograph the building face and bring approximate width and height of the area available for letters.
- 02
Identify the customer approach
Show where visitors first see the storefront and whether the sign must work from the road, parking lot, or sidewalk.
- 03
Gather building information
Share wall material, property or landlord criteria, electrical information, and target timing when available.
If you do not have every detail yet, start with the address, a few photographs, and the visibility problem you want the sign to solve.

Quick answers
Planning this sign.
Can channel letters be illuminated?
Yes. Channel letters can be individually lit or produced as non-lit dimensional letters, depending on the site and desired appearance.
What determines the letter size?
The building area, mounting conditions, viewing distance, local sign rules, and the legibility of your business name all shape the recommendation.
What happens after I reach out?
Suntronix reviews the location, visibility needs, timing, and business goals before shaping a concept and quote.
Can I send a logo or site photo?
Yes. The quote form accepts a JPG, PNG, or PDF up to 5 MB so the team can understand the project sooner.
