What are built-up letters?

Built-up letters to put your business or organisation in the spotlight.

Built-up letters are illuminated or non-illuminated letters suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Adding them to your building attracts more attention and supports your branding. They also give the building an elegant appearance.

As well as lettering, you can have your logo installed on your premises. We make all our built-up letters partly by machine and partly by hand. We can produce them in any desired size, colour or finish. Special requests are also possible. Contact us to discuss the options. We are happy to visit without obligation.

What are the options for built-up letters?

The possibilities for built-up letters are almost endless: materials, colours, sizes, lighting and finishes can all be varied. There are also many placement options, such as on the roof, against the facade or freestanding.

What is the average lifespan of built-up letters (warranty)?

The average lifespan cannot be determined precisely, as location also plays a part. If your premises are close to the coast, the letters are more likely to discolour after a number of years than they would further inland.

We provide a 3-month warranty on materials and installation. Some components carry a much longer warranty, up to 10 years. Contact a member of our sales team for further information.

How much energy do built-up letters use?

We used to make all our built-up letters with neon, but have used LED lighting for many years now, saving around 90% in energy. How much does illuminated signage actually cost to run? Here is an example based on built-up letters 60 cm high and 250 cm long.

Hours switched on per day: 10. Cost per kWh: 0.23 euros (source: Consumentenbond). Annual energy cost: 10 x 0.2 x 0.23 x 365 = 167.90 euros.

An exact calculation is only possible once we know precisely what you want. Curious about the energy consumption of your built-up letters? We can prepare a calculation on request.
