I need to find a manufacturer for stainless steel, reverse channel letters with plexi backs and LED lighting. Does anyone have a source that they know and trust?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, Tom:

I don't know about the specs you mentioned. I've never heard of 'stainless steel' in channel letters. Aluminum is standard. However, the first place to start looking is through the national distributor, Gemini. (www.signletters.com) and they also deal in cast aluminum plaques, and other metal fabrication.

Is 'stainless steel' a customer, or architectural spec., or...hmmm?

If you call them, they can help. It's the national 'go to' when needed. Local manufacturers might be able to help, but you'll have to search for them.

Hope this helps a little...

If you are using LED's, then Gemini is the way to go. Well within budget, and lots of options too. [Smile]

Thank You all for your help.

Rick & Karen - Gemini doesn't do this type of Reverse letter in Stainless.

I've been using Gemini more and more since they've expanded their product line, and have been very happy.

I'm familiar with Steel Art, I used them years ago for water-jet cut letters and some fabricated jobs. We had some problems with quality and delivery times and found another supplier, who up until recently was very good.

Maybe it's time to try Steel Art again.

We've used US Sign for stainless letters as you describe. Ours were four feet tall and were beautifully made. Not cheap, however.
