Vancouver Signs l Foam letters as an affordable alternative
Posted by Stephen Rye on Mon, Aug 16, 2010 @ 10:00 AM
Dimensional letters are one of the most customizable forms of business signage available. They are used for everything from lobby signs to exterior signage.
The materials used to create these works of art range from solid aluminum to acrylic and komacel (a hard foam). The least expensive but often best option are letters made from sign foam.

While sign foam letters may lead you to think of pillows, nothing could be farther from the truth. I think you might be surprised at the number of signs you see every day that are made from this material.
Cut from large sheets of high density foam using a commercial router, sign foam is a light, inexpensive and easy to install alternative to other heavier materials. When finished they will be virtually indistinguishable from far more expensive materials.
Sign foam letters can be cut into virtually any shape. They are available in thicknesses that typically range from 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches. Added thickness creates a shadowing effect which can be very attractive and layering as illustrated in the picture below can a look of sophistication.
Finishes range from glossy paint to gold, silver or brushed aluminum faces. When completed only you will know that your sign letters were inexpensive.
Sign foam letters offer a cost effective solution for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor uses. Whether you are looking for signage for the exterior of your building, a lobby sign or tradeshow display, sign foam letters are an extremely cost effective solution.
