  • High quality built up letters and advice required

    Hi All

    I haven’t done much in the line of built ups so wanted to ask what is the highest quality built up you can get, what I mean is the one that gives the nicest possible finish which needs to be white.

    It will be viewed close up and is for a very upmarket client and they want the best 😮

    cheers

    How you doing Warren

    The best I’ve seen came from applelec if I remember correctly. They were built up stainless steel, with a polished mirror finish, they had been finished so well the join between the face and return was almost invisible !

    What size are these letters, As you want them coloured (white ) I would have thought the best finish would be obtained from either descaled stainless steel or aluminium with a with a powder coat or baked finish. Either that or if they a small laser cut solid acrylic !

    All the Best !

    Hi Warren

    as Dave says, Appelec do them. They can maufacturer but they can also import some from the states I believe, which they told me were top notch with virtually invisible joins…sounds like the ones your after.

    I had to get a qoute for some in white around xmas time and they gave me the two options, worth a call ask for Sam or Zoe
