  Posted by Robert Scullion on 13 September 2005 at 07:09

  Hi guys

  Got a customer who wants some raised letters, thes are going onto a wooden facia, am I better getting them cut from di bond or acrylic ?

  Are there any benefits one way or the other ?

  Also, can you people advise best source/range of coloured acrylics and who best to obtain fixings from

  Thanks

  Bob

  Do you mean raised or offset flat cut? for flat cut
  I would use acrylic, simply because the edge will match the face in colour.
  Most suppliers of cut letters will also supply the fixings already in place along with a paper template to fix them to fascia.

  Only real reason to use dibond would be for the metal effects available.

  Any routing supplier should be able to give you the complete kit- shop around tho cos prices vary quite a bit

  when you say “raised” do you mean, stand off or built up letters?
