Cast Resin Letters and cast resin numbers are used for architectural signage for property names and property numbers where the signs need to last for many years without being changed.
The lettering can also be used for business names and pub signs, ideal for hotels, restaurants and jewellers shops where the corporate image needs to remain the same for many years.
The Advantages of Cast Resin Letters for Property Names
Buildings throughout history have been given names to identify them as important and relevant to the population at large.From ancient times castles and churches to monuments and museums. Homes of the ruling classes and government buildings.
In the past a name of a building would have been carved into stone on the wall of the property or painted onto hardwood timber and fixed to it. Today property names may be cut in stone or cut out other man made materials such as metal or acrylic or cast in resin.
One of the most durable materials used for producing architectural lettering for property names is in cast resin. Cast resin letters are used where the property name will remain the same for decades.
Lettering made from cast resin may look like metal, they can be painted in a silver or gold paint. They could also look similar to bronze letters if painted in a dark brown. Lettering made from cast resin can have a variety of paint finishes applied or textures such as stone or textured masonry.
There are at least two forms of production for resin letters that we know about, one method uses a limited range of fonts as the letters are cast from existing moulds and because moulds take a long time to produce therefore there is a limited range of fonts available. The second method uses a disposable mould technique where a mould is made for one use only and is destroyed when the cast letter is removed from it, this second method has a wide choice of fonts that can be produced for architectural sign lettering and is ideal for property names and some shop signs as well as for pub signage where the name will remain the same for many years and where the image will be constant.
When Choosing a font for architectural lettering for signs on premises there may be many fonts available but only a small number of fonts are suitable for fitting onto the front of properties. A property name usually needs to look professional, distinguished and timeless as well as being clear to read, for this to be achieved font styles similar to Times Roman Bold for a serif font or Gill Sans for a sans-serif font both forms of lettering achieve the desired result.
The process of making cast resin letters varies from one manufacturer to another but the result is a form of lettering that will last for decades and is ideal for property names for commercial buildings for architectural signage. Other types of building are also suitable for having cast resin letters fitted to the outside of their premises such as apartment blocks, retirement homes, public schools, large residential properties as well as quality retail outlets such as Jewellers shops and top class restaurants and hotels, designer hair salons and pubs, cast resin letters are designed to last and are therefore suitable for signage where the corporate image is not going to be changed for a long time period.
