Metal Letters on Granite for Horizon Office Towers
The letters go onto polished granite, which reflects them, so any misalignment is shown to you twice. Every hole was drilled with a diamond bit through a glued-on template, and none of them can be moved.
A business centre does not need a loud sign; nobody wanders in off the street. What it needs is a name that looks expensive up close and stays on the stone for decades.
The letters are metal with a brushed face and no illumination. On polished granite, lighting works against you: the stone already reflects everything around it, and LEDs would put a second, blurred copy of the lettering inside it.
Installation matters more than fabrication here. Granite is drilled with a diamond bit, slowly and wet, and every hole is final — you cannot shift a letter half a centimetre and start again. So a template marking all the studs went up first, was checked with a level, and only then were the holes drilled. The letters sit on concealed studs with a gap off the stone: the gap gives a shadow line and stops water sitting between metal and granite.
