LA GRANGE, Ill., Oct. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — When clients need to add a touch of sophistication to their structure or space, Impact Architectural Signs (http://www.impactsigns.com/) suggests cast bronze letters as a solution that exceeds all expectations. The Chicago-based company is a one-stop shop for the design, fabrication, delivery and even installation of these beautiful and durable pieces of hardware.
"Bronze lettering is a powerful investment – it says to visitors that a company, building or open space has permanence," commented Shabbir Moosabhoy, co-founder of Impact Signs. "Bronze is one of only a few architectural materials in use today that can evoke timelessness while looking brand new at the same time. Impact Signs is pleased to be leading a renaissance in cast bronze letters, and we take pride in adhering to time-honored best practices in their production."
In decades past, bronze was the preferred choice for outdoor signage, owing to its virtual indestructibility. Many historic buildings around the world are emblazoned with cast bronze signage and embellishments. When properly cast, bronze letters will never rust, corrode or lose their unique luster, even in the most challenging and variable climates. As the price of bronze crept up, its usage in architecture subsequently declined. However, that scarcity has made bronze an even more appealing material for designers and architects. The distinction now afforded by cast bronze letters is invaluable.
Today, the most common places to see cast bronze letters include university campuses, public libraries, government and military installations, and parks and memorials. Impact Signs recognizes the evocative power of this kind of signage, and therefore cuts no corners in the manufacturing process. Each letter is cast from a solid bronze ingot, which is melted and poured into sand molds. Casting solid metal allows for much more depth and heft than cut letters.
The Impact Signs website includes a dynamic ordering form so that prospective clients can see all of their options in one place, while also getting an instant quote. The company provides a selection of 11 different fonts, available in sizes ranging from 2 to 24 inches high. A deep sepia tone in their unaltered state, cast bronze letters from Impact Signs come in the following finishes and colors:
- Brushed Bronze
- Dark Oxidized Bronze
- Oxidized Bronze
- Polished Bronze
- Traditional (Verde) Patina
- Turquoise Patina
The design team at Impact Signs can help clients select a mounting option that best suits their application. Flush stud mounts, stud and spacer mounts, and stud for brick mounts are just a few of the available options. Likewise, clients can install letters themselves with the aid of supplied instructions and hardware, or Impact Signs can arrange for professional installation in all 50 states.
Impact Signs is happy to develop custom fonts and sizes; clients who have an interest in custom work are encouraged to contact the company and describe their request.
Moosabhoy concluded: "Our team has more experience with cast bronze letters than anyone else in the industry. We understand both the art and science of creating perfect letters and signage, and we stand by our material with a lifetime guarantee."
Completing a cast bronze letter order is typically a 7 to 9 day process, however, Impact Signs can also accommodate rush orders. The company extends free shipping nationwide to orders over $250. http://www.impactsigns.com/cast-bronze-letters/
