Each metal has a distinct look, price, and longevity. For most commercial brand signage, ACM is the budget-friendly workhorse — its painted surface hides the composite layers perfectly. For premium architectural installs, solid aluminium, stainless, brass, or copper each bring genuine metal weight and finish. Here's how they compare:
| Material | Outdoor lifespan | Look | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACM 3mm | 5–7 years | Painted or printed, any Pantone | $ (baseline) |
| Solid aluminium 3–5mm | 10+ years | Raw / brushed / painted | $$ |
| Stainless steel 2–5mm | 20+ years | Brushed or mirror-polished | $$$ |
| Copper 2–3mm | Decades (patinas) | Warm bronze, ages to green | $$$$ |
| Brass 2–3mm | Decades (patinas) | Golden yellow, ages to brown | $$$$ |
| Fabricated 3D (any metal) | Matches face material | Hollow 10–100mm depth | $$$ – $$$$$ |
Metal letters are mounted one of four ways depending on wall type, desired depth, and whether the install is interior or exterior. Every order ships with a paper template so you get letter spacing and alignment right on the first drill. Our Sydney install crew handles commercial facade work at $120/hr per installer (2-installer minimum for above-head or wide letter sets, 3-hour call-out minimum). For Melbourne, Brisbane, and Canberra installs, we route through our vetted contractor network with specs and templates pre-supplied.
Natural aluminium and stainless steel need essentially zero maintenance — a quarterly wipe with warm water and microfibre keeps them looking new for decades. Brushed stainless and brushed aluminium should be wiped along the grain direction (not across it) to avoid dulling the brush pattern. Copper and brass develop a natural patina over time — copper goes from shiny bronze to matte brown to verdigris green over 5-15 years depending on exposure; brass goes from golden yellow to warm brown. If you want to preserve the as-installed look, ask for clear-coat lacquer at order (adds ~$8 per letter, works for 3-5 years then needs recoating). For outdoor painted letters, avoid pressure washing at close range — it can chip the edges. High-traffic or coastal salt-spray installs benefit from six-monthly fresh-water rinse.
Every metal letter is cut, welded, and finished in our own factory. Fiber-laser cutting on our 2kW bed handles stainless, copper, brass, and aluminium up to 3mm with mirror-clean edges; thicker material and ACM are CNC-routed on the CNC router. Fabricated 3D letter construction is done in-house by our welders — no offshore outsourcing, no 3-month lead times. Every set passes QC against the approved proof including letter spacing, height uniformity, and finish consistency before shipping. For architects specifying facade signage, interior designers specifying reception letters, sign-maker resellers, and construction firms ordering building identification across multi-site projects, our trade account programme unlocks tiered pricing plus dedicated drafting support — supply Illustrator or AutoCAD files and we quote in hours.
Everything you need to know about metal letter cutting
Platinum Signs manufactures custom metal letters in-house at our Sydney workshop using precision CNC routing and laser cutting technology. Every letter is cut to your exact specifications from premium-grade materials sourced from Australian suppliers.
Our flat cut metal letters range from 50mm to 1220mm in height, suitable for everything from small door signage to large-scale building identification. We work with five metals — ACM, solid aluminium, stainless steel, copper, and brass — each offering distinct aesthetic and durability characteristics.
For projects requiring greater depth and dimension, our fabricated metal letters are hand-welded from 10mm to 100mm thick, creating a bold three-dimensional presence that commands attention.
With laser cutting, we can reproduce virtually any font — from delicate scripts and serifs to bold display typefaces. Our curated font library includes hundreds of typefaces, and you can supply your own. For ACM letters cut by CNC router, we recommend bold sans-serif fonts with minimum 8mm stroke widths.
Every order includes a mounting template and your choice of mounting hardware. We ship Australia-wide with free standard delivery, and offer professional installation in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra metro areas.
Whether you need a single set of reception letters or hundreds of letters for a multi-site rollout, our online calculator provides instant pricing with volume discounts applied automatically. For fabricated letters, our dedicated quote form ensures we capture every detail of your custom project.
