You can definitely do a combination blends of both face-lit and halo-lit elements to create a truly unique feel. There is also an aluminum spacer separating the front and back of the letters,so the light doesn’t get overpowering. Furthermore, you can have the face and halo lights in different colors. Because of this unique construction, combination channel letters are the most expensive out of the three types.
There are two methods that channel letters can be mounted:
The Raceway Method
The easiest method for mounting channel letter signs is called the “raceway” method.The letters of the sign are applied to a narrow box—the raceway—that also holds the wiring for the letters. This means that you require less drilling and will leave fewer holes in the wall or facade should the sign be removed. Raceways are often painted the same color as the building where the signage is mounted.Painting them the same color allows for the letters to stand out against the original color of the building, making them more legible.
The Individual Letter Method
You might also see this mounting method called “direct mount” or “flush mount.” Each letter of the sign is mounted individually to the face or wall of the building. Since more work is required, you can anticipate that the cost of installation will be higher than with raceway and backer mounts.
Most signs do require a permit but please verify with your particular municipality by-laws. The customer is usually responsible for applying and obtaining any sign permits that are required. However, it is common for our customers to ask to provide this as a service. Please note that this comes at an extra cost.
The timeline for each job is determined on an individual bases. Channel letters can take 3 to 4 weeks from time of approved artwork and permit approval. Please note that these timelines are only an estimate and there are many factors that can delay or expedite a job.

If applied and removed correctly, the decal will leave the glass surface as good as new.
Most window graphics contain an adhesive, which after the initial application will be significantly compromised after removal. There are certain types of window graphicsthat are designed to be removed and reapplied; however, more often than not, once an adhesive-based window vinyl is applied to a window or glass surface, it cannot be effectively removed and reused.
Professional installers should apply your window graphic, and we do not recommendapplying it yourself. Our installers are trained and have years of experience. Window graphics can be tricky to install because the average minimum temperature for applying vinyl to a substrate is 50°F. Adhesives don't like cold temperatures and applying vinyl tocold surfaces can cause the adhesive to be less tacky, which can prevent the vinyl from adhering.
