What Is Reverse Surface Vinyl?
We installed reverse surface vinyl at Weitzman Advertising on Church Circle in historic Annapolis. Designs & Signs in Edgewater, Maryland cut white and etched-look Avery vinyl for the inside surface of the acrylic. Installing the lettering on the inside surface protects it, so it lasts longer outdoors. The acrylic looks black, but it is clear. We mount it in front of a flat black PVC panel. The black panel adds dimension and shows off the reverse surface vinyl lettering. This method suits shop windows, glass doors, and acrylic panels where the lettering needs protection from weather and cleaning.
We Install Exterior Signs and Letters
We stain the wooden frame and coat it with Awlcraft 3000 Clear. Then the frame goes onto the face of the building. For more on mounting letters, see our installation tutorial. Over the years, Weitzman Advertising has found good ways to show off its logos. At their main office, the entrance looks shipshape.
What Are Vinyl Letters?
Vinyl lettering is an adhesive application cut from durable Avery vinyl, and it holds well to flat surfaces. It works well on vehicles, panels, windows, glass doors, and boat names for fiberglass sailboats and powerboats. We also use vinyl to put custom lettering onto life rings.
