Brushed lettering always looks good.
We created these stainless steel letters for Washington Gas offices in Southeast Washington, DC. The letters are mounted on the steel awning. The best finish for outdoor metal letters is always a horizontal brush. The brushed look tends to age well. It will not show the weathering that can appear on a polished letter.
Even if you request polished letters for exterior use, we will not offer that product to you. We stand behind all of our work, and we cannot in good conscience sell something to you that might fail prematurely.
Why brushed steel holds up outdoors
Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, which makes it a smart material for exterior signage. A horizontal brush also hides fingerprints, light scratches and everyday wear far better than a mirror polish. As a result, brushed stainless steel letters stay sharp with very little upkeep, even in rain, sun and salt air.
Stainless steel letters for businesses and communities
We make metal letters for offices, retail storefronts, professional buildings and community entrances. Each project starts with a conversation about your building, your logo and the look you want. Next, we provide a drawing for your approval before we make anything. Then we build and install your letters.
