Signage
Architectural Metal Signage is the primary element of brand identity and spatial navigation. It translates a brand’s vision into a physical, tangible statement of quality. At XYC Metalworks, we specialize in the custom fabrication of high-end Architectural Metal Signage, Custom Fabricated Letters, Stainless Steel & Brass Signs from intricate interior 3D letters to large-scale illuminated pylon signs. We utilize stainless steel, brass, bronze, and aluminum, combined with precision laser cutting, TIG welding, and advanced PVD finishing. Our expertise covers the full spectrum of modern signage, including backlit (halo-lit) letters, built-up 3D letters, ADA-compliant Braille signs, and complex lightbox systems for luxury retail, corporate, and hospitality environments.

Customization & Design
We transform your brand guidelines or architectural drawings into finished products. Our process supports:
File Formats: Direct fabrication from your AI, DWG, or DXF vector files.
Engineering: We provide detailed shop drawings showing construction, thickness, and mounting methods.
Illumination Design: We specify the correct LED type, color temperature (warm/cool white), and placement for flawless halo or face illumination.
Installation Options
All signage is delivered with appropriate mounting hardware and templates for easy installation.
Standoff Mounting: Using spacers to float letters off the wall, creating a shadow or halo-lit effect.
Flush Mounting: Letters are fixed directly to the wall for a seamless look.
Raceway Mounting: Letters are pre-mounted onto a thin metal box (raceway) that contains wiring, simplifying installation.
Pylon / Monolith: Freestanding structures engineered with internal frames and concrete footings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the most durable material for exterior architectural metal signage?
For outdoor environments, particularly in coastal or high-moisture areas, we recommend Grade 316 stainless steel due to its superior corrosion resistance. For a luxury aesthetic, PVD-coated stainless steel or high-quality powder-coated aluminum are also excellent choices, as they provide extreme durability against weathering and UV fading.
2. What is the difference between custom fabricated letters and flat cut-out letters?
A cut-out letter is a flat, 2D shape laser-cut from a single metal sheet. Custom fabricated letters (also known as 3D built-up letters) have depth; they consist of a metal “face” and “returns” (sides) that are TIG-welded together to create a hollow 3D form. Fabricated letters are ideal for housing internal LED lighting for a premium, high-impact look.
3. Can you produce ADA-compliant Braille signs for hotels and corporate offices?
Yes. We specialize in fabricating ADA-compliant wayfinding systems, including tactile pictograms and Grade 2 Braille dots. We manufacture these using precision-etched or fabricated stainless steel, brass, and bronze to ensure they meet international accessibility standards while maintaining a high-end architectural finish.
4. What is a "backlit" or "halo-lit" metal sign, and how is it installed?
A backlit or halo-lit sign features opaque 3D built-up letters with LEDs mounted inside, pointing toward the wall. These are typically installed using standoff mounting to float the letters off the surface, allowing the light to create a soft “halo” effect around each character.
5. Why choose stainless steel & brass signs for luxury branding?
Stainless steel & brass signs offer a sense of permanence and quality that plastic or acrylic cannot match. Stainless steel provides a modern, sleek look in brushed or mirror finishes, while brass and bronze offer a classic, luxurious appearance that can be polished or allowed to develop a natural patina.
6. Can you match the PVD finish of my signage to other architectural metalwork in the project?
Absolutely. Because we manage the PVD titanium coating process in-house, we can run your signage in the same batch as your partition screens, vanity stands, or furniture. This ensures a perfect, consistent color match (such as gold, black, or bronze) across every metal element in your space.
7. What file formats do I need to provide for a custom signage quotation?
To provide an accurate quote and ensure precision fabrication, we require your designs in vector file formats, such as AI, DWG, or DXF. Please include the desired dimensions (height/width), material specifications, preferred finish, and whether the sign requires illumination.
8. How are illuminated architectural signs powered and maintained?
Our illuminated signs use low-voltage, energy-efficient LED systems powered by remote LED drivers (transformers) connected to your building’s main power supply. Once installed, these signs require very little maintenance, usually only needing occasional simple cleaning to maintain their premium appearance.
9. Do you provide detailed engineering drawings for complex signage installations?
Yes. For large-scale projects, such as building facades or monolith pylon signs, we provide detailed shop drawings. These drawings specify the internal structure, material thickness, LED placement (including color temperature), and the engineered mounting methods to ensure safety and visual perfection.
10. Can XYC Metalworks ship large-scale architectural signage internationally?
Yes. As a global exporter, we are experienced in securely packaging and shipping finished signage worldwide. Whether it is a delicate lobby logo or a 10-meter tall pylon sign, we ensure all components are crated for maximum protection during transit to your project site.
