SS HALO SPACER LETTER QUALITY GUIDE — THE MOST PREMIUM INTERIOR SIGN

Not all vinyl signs are the same. The film grade, ink system, and laminate you choose determines whether your sign looks sharp for 3 years or 10 — and whether it peels, fades, or stays perfect through Australian sun and rain.

FAQ

HALO SPACER LETTERS — FAQ

What are halo spacer letters?+

SS letters on hidden rods creating a floating effect with LED halo on wall. Quality = how well the rods are concealed.

Visible vs concealed spacers?+

10mm visible: rods seen from side. 15mm concealed: hidden from front. 20mm architectural: invisible from every angle.

Why 2700K LED?+

Warm golden glow that reads as ambient lighting, not signage. Standard for luxury hospitality and hotel lobbies.

What wall materials work?+

Plasterboard, timber, stone, concrete, brick, metal cladding. Wall type determines anchoring method.

Electroplated finishes?+

Brushed gold, rose gold, black titanium via PVD. Molecular bond, scratch-resistant, does not peel.

How thick should the shell be?+

1.2mm: minimum. 1.5mm: standard commercial. 2.0mm: architectural — visible substance on large letters.

Do you ship signs Australia-wide?+

Yes. All signs are custom made and shipped tracked to any address in Australia — Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and regional areas. Signs are packed flat with protective backing to prevent damage during transit.

Can they go outdoors?+

304: standard outdoor inland. 316: coastal within 5km of ocean. Salt air destroys 304 in 3–5 years.
