Do not let the choice between acrylic and stainless alone decide the design; a body with a metal finish, an acrylic face and lighting can be combined in the same letter according to the approved specification.<\/p>\n<h3>Choosing the specification<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Compare the letter face, its body and its lighting, not the material name alone.<\/li>\n<li>Front lighting and back lighting (halo) are two different visual decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Approval of the logo and the sizes comes before manufacturing.<\/li>\n<li>FACO reviews the material, the finish and the fixing as part of the letter request.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How do you choose letter material and lighting direction?<\/h3>\n<p>First write down what you want to appear and where it will be fixed. Then review the <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/our-servies\/3d-sculpted-letters\/\">illuminated 3D letter<\/a> options with a photo of the facade, rather than choosing a model in isolation from your site.<\/p>\n<p>FACO manufactures acrylic, zincor and stainless letters, with front or back (halo) lighting according to the design. The material name alone does not guarantee clarity, colour match or ease of maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Ask for a statement of the electrical work included and who will provide the power point. The absence of that statement does not mean that all wiring is included.<\/p>\n<h3>Project photos are for review, not as a matching guarantee<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/aljrais-cladding-signage-project\/\">Aljrais project<\/a> documents letter details and a lighting test; it is useful for understanding, not for applying those sizes to your site.<\/p>\n<h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n<p>Is acrylic better than stainless or zincor? There is no absolute preference from the name alone; compare the face, the body, the lighting and the fixing.<\/p>\n<p>Is back lighting suitable for any facade? It is reviewed with the surface colour, its material and the fixing method.<\/p>\n<p>Can the letters be requested without changing the facade? Yes, for a review on an existing surface; preparation is determined after inspection. If the request includes <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/our-servies\/company-facade-designs-using-3d\/\">cladding<\/a>, keep the two scopes separate.<\/p>\n<p>Does the price include the electrical connection? Only if it is stated in the quote.<\/p>\n<p>How do you compare two quotes? Match the sizes, materials, finish, lighting and installation first.<\/p>\n<p>What do you send to FACO? The logo, a photo of the facade, the sizes, the city and the required lighting appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Approve the full letter specification and keep it with the quote. Send the details through <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/contact-us\/\">contact with FACO<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You choose the letter material and its lighting direction together, after reviewing the logo, the facade material, the sizes and the fixing method.
