Talk about overkill...

Four 14" letters - 1" thick stainless.

Believe it or not these are for an interior wall for a gov't contract. [I Don t Know]

Anyone know of a source...Gemini's catalog only goes up to 1/2".

Thanks...

We use US Sign too. I'm looking at a sample of a stainless steel 2" tall reverse channel letter right now. Excellent craftmanship.

I haven't used US Sign yet but I've seen their work at trade shows. Flawless. No one would know it wasn't solid stainless.

US Sign is good - also, Steel Art does similar products.

I also vote for US Sign. Steel Art products are similar, they just aren't good. US Sign's are flawless.

Surely they are talking about a pan faced letter not 1" thick stainless steel?

Thanks all...I got a quote from US and it was reasonable.

Monte, I believe that you are correct; 1" thick stainless is just ridiculous. The will be channel letters.

Thanks again... [Big Grin]

Gemini is now doing fabricated letters also. Quality is excellent and delivery is about 8-10 days. There should be a page in your Gemini catalog.

If it's only 4 letters, you could make them yourself, couldn't you- which letters & what font?
(stainless is a pain to drill, but it welds easily & cleans up nicely. What finish did they want- brushed metal, or a mirror polish?)

Thanks for the response Don...I gave the quote in June and haven't heard back from the contractor.

Ian...they wanted a mirror polished finish. I'm no good at welding so that's really not an option.

Thanks anyway...
