Introduction
At Bold Project, we specialize in the design, fabrication, and installation of channel letters in Miami, Florida. This tutorial explains step by step how to assemble and install a channel letter system on raceway. While the video shows the practical process, here we also highlight additional services that set us apart: permits, engineering drawings, 3D renderings, surveys, electrical installation, and nationwide shipping.
Preparing the Raceway and Pattern
The raceway is the aluminum bar that supports the channel letters and conceals the electrical wiring. A pre-cut pattern, made on a plotter, is used to mark the drill points: small holes for screws and a larger one for electrical access. For safety, each letter should have at least three screws. This ensures stability even if one fails.
Drilling and Mounting Letters
Once aligned, self-tapping screws for metal are used to secure each letter. A step drill bit creates precise openings for bushings, which are essential to protect wires and maintain UL certification. Bold Project uses high-quality materials such as aluminum and acrylic for durability and weather resistance.
Electrical Installation and UL Certification
Channel letters run on low-voltage LED modules, making them energy-efficient and cost-effective. Our systems are UL Certified, which means they include the proper bushings, wire connectors, and weatherproof power supplies. We calculate total wattage based on the number of LED modules, selecting the correct power supply for each project.
Final Assembly – Faces and Vinyl
After wiring, the acrylic faces are installed. For this project, we used day-night perforated vinyl (One Way Vision), which appears black during the day and illuminates white at night. This creates a unique effect for businesses wanting visibility both day and night.
Permits, Engineering, and 3D Renderings
Bold Project also provides complete project support: - Sign permits and compliance with Miami and Florida regulations. - Engineering drawings and electrical plans. - 3D renderings so clients can preview the sign before fabrication. - Site surveys to ensure accurate measurements and proper installation.
Nationwide Shipping and Installation
We offer professional sign installation across Florida (Miami, Doral, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and more) and nationwide shipping across the USA. Every sign is carefully packaged to arrive ready for installation.
The final result is a professional channel letter sign on raceway: UL Certified, efficient, and built to last. At Bold Project, we don’t just fabricate signs—we manage the entire process from permits and engineering to installation and shipping.
