Frequently Asked Questions
Your estimated delivery date is a projection based on typical timelines, not a guaranteed delivery date. Actual timelines vary based on the product, finishes, and features you select, and our current order volume, and designer queue for proofs.
The stages:
Initial proof creation takes 3–6 business days after your order, depending on current volume. Once you approve the proof, your order moves into production Ground shipping typically adds 3–5 business days depending on your location.
Your approval sets the clock:
The estimated delivery date assumes you approve your proof son after its sent to you. Manufacturing does not begin until you approve the proof online using the link we send to you. If a proof sits unapproved, or you request revisions, your delivery date moves out by the same amount of time.
Other things that can shift the date:
Revision rounds beyond the first. Custom sizes, finishes, or mounting hardware. Artwork or logo files that need rework before they can be used. Material availability. Carrier delays, weather, and holidays.
If you have a hard deadline:
Please don't schedule a dedication, ceremony, unveiling, or installation around an estimated date. If your plaque is tied to a fixed event, contact us before ordering. We'll confirm whether the date is achievable, and if rush production is available (for a fee). We can also expedite shipping if needed.
Cast aluminum letters are ideal for building signage, institutional entrances, public spaces, and wayfinding where a clean, dimensional look is desired. The casting process adds depth and permanence for both indoor and exterior applications.
We offer brushed, polished, painted, and anodized finishes. Brushed satin is the most popular, but painted finishes allow for vibrant or brand-specific colors. Clear anodized options add durability, especially in outdoor or coastal environments.
Cast aluminum letters are available in standard sizes from 2″ to 24″ tall, with depths typically ranging from ⅜″ to 1½″ depending on letter height and font. Larger letters are cast with more depth for a balanced appearance.
Most cast aluminum letters are stud-mounted for secure attachment to surfaces like concrete, brick, or wood. Spacers can be added for a dimensional effect. We include a mounting template and hardware with every order, and installation is available nationwide.
Cast aluminum letters are made in molds, resulting in thicker, dimensional letters with deeper profiles. Cut aluminum letters are waterjet-cut from flat sheets, offering a thinner, modern look with sharp edges. Cast is better for prismatic and traditional fonts.
A prismatic face features beveled slopes that angle toward the center of the letter, creating depth and visual interest. This classic style is available in standard fonts like Trajan and is often used on cast letters for a bold, architectural effect.
Yes. We can create custom letterforms or logos in cast aluminum, including prismatic faces. Custom casting requires a unique mold, which increases cost and lead time, but results in a one-of-a-kind design.
Yes. Cast aluminum is corrosion-resistant and well suited for long-term exterior use. We recommend a painted or anodized finish to protect against oxidation, especially in wet or coastal climates.
After receiving your deposit, we’ll send a detailed digital layout showing font, size, spacing, and mounting. You can request up to two revisions. Once approved, we begin production and ship your letters with all hardware and instructions.
Our online builder gives an approximate length based on your phrase and letter height. In the proofing phase, we’ll show the exact dimensions and can mock up your lettering on a photo of your building for scale reference.
