3D Letters

3D letters are individual dimensional characters that spell your name straight on the facade. We cut them from acrylic, metal or composite, weld the frames and build each body with returns at our own shop on Olzhycha St, then install them turnkey across Ukraine with our own crew: face-lit, halo-lit, open-neon or with no lighting at all.

3D Letters — TheFace
What we make

3D Letters

The eye reads a name built from separate letters faster than one solid inscription. Each character has its own depth, side return and shadow, so the sign gains a relief a flat plate or box can't give. Letters like these work from a distance and at speed — a passer-by or a driver recognises the name in a second.

We size the letter height to your facade and to the distance people read it from, keep the spacing between characters even, and match the face and returns to the material: light-diffusing acrylic, milled metal or composite. We pick the lighting to suit the facade, not the facade to suit the lighting.

  • Front-lit letters — the acrylic face glows while the returns stay opaque: a clean, bright name after dark
  • Halo-lit letters — the character stays dark and an even glow falls around it on the wall
  • Open-neon letters — a visible run of flexible neon along the contour, with a retro character
  • Non-illuminated letters milled from acrylic, PVC or metal — for daytime facades and interiors
  • Metal letters in stainless or composite with a brushed or painted face — a premium, solid look
  • Your choice of mounting: flush to the facade, on standoffs with a shadow gap, or on a single backing panel

What we need to price it

The quote is free. What happens next depends on whether you already have artwork.

You have artwork

Send it with a photo of the site — we’ll say what has to change in the construction, and price it.

No artwork yet

We start with a survey — from photos of the facade or on site. We’ll advise on format and construction. The visualization comes once you confirm the order.

How we work

The result is on us

We start with a free visit, facade measurement and quote. Once you confirm the order, we prepare a 3D visualization of the letters on a photo of your facade — day and night — to agree on height, typeface and spacing before anything is made. Everything then happens in our workshop at 29 Olzhycha St — 200 m² under roof plus a 150 m² yard where the steel work is done: we cut each character, bend and weld the returns, build the bodies and run the LED for your chosen lighting. A set takes a week to a fortnight, depending on how many letters there are, how big they get and what they are made of. Our own crew, with 30+ years of installation experience, aligns the letters on a single baseline and fixes them to the facade; you get a one-year warranty and ongoing service.

Specs

Key specifications

Key specifications3D Letters
MaterialsLight-diffusing acrylic, stainless steel, PVC and composite; returns in metal or PVC
Typical sizesThe facade sets the limits: height and letter spacing follow the reading distance we check at the survey
LightingFace-lit through acrylic, halo onto the wall, open neon along the contour; non-lit versions too
Power12 V LED modules; the power supply hides behind the facade or indoors, with no visible wiring
MountingWall anchors or pins, standoff brackets or a single backing panel; fitted by our own crew
Service lifeLED modules are typically rated for tens of thousands of hours; the body lasts years with basic care
Lead time5–14 working days. It runs longer when there are many letters, or they are large or made of metal.
Warranty & serviceOne year on the product and installation; we keep servicing the sign after that
Pricing

What goes into the price of a sign

The price of a sign depends on the facade, size and material, so we don't publish a single price list. The visit, measurement and quote are free, and you get an exact figure fast.

  • Size and dimensions

    A bigger sign means more material, fixings and hours on the install. We size the letter height to your facade width and the distance the sign has to be read from.

  • Materials

    Metal, acrylic, composite and PVC differ in both price and lifespan. A metal sign runs higher than PVC but lasts longer; at the survey we recommend the material for your facade and weather, not for the price list.

  • Lighting and electrics

    A non-illuminated sign costs less than a lit one: no LED modules, power supply or electrical work. Front-lit and halo-lit price separately too, and neon and lightboxes are our own offerings with their own pages.

  • Installation

    Install cost comes down to height, how hard the access is, and the wall material — brick, plaster, composite or glass. A sign over the entrance and a structure up under the roof are very different amounts of crew work and equipment.

  • Approvals and permits

    Some builds — blade signs over the pavement, rooftop signs, stelae on a site — need a placement approval. Where that applies, we tell you what to file and fold it into the quote.

  • Layout complexity

    A single word prices differently from a logo with fine detail, a set of plaques or a full floor of wayfinding. The visit, measurement and quote are free, and the 3D visualization on a photo of your facade comes after you confirm the order — so the look is agreed before manufacturing.

Simple signs are ready in a few working days, more complex structures take longer. The exact term is set in your quote.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions

How tall should the letters be to read from across the street?

The taller the letter, the farther away it reads, so we size the height to your facade and to the distance passers-by and drivers will look from. We also keep the spacing between characters even, so the name reads as one word instead of falling apart. You'll see the exact sizes in a 3D render on a photo of your facade once you confirm the order.

What's the difference between face-lit, halo and open-neon letters?

They are three ways a letter lights up. Face-lit light passes through the acrylic face, so the character itself is bright. Halo lights from behind: the letter stays dark and graphic while a soft glow falls onto the wall around it. Open neon is a visible line of light along the contour. We'll recommend the right one for your facade and show it in 3D before manufacturing.

Do the letters go straight onto the facade, or is a backing panel needed?

It depends on the facade. On a flat wall we fix letters flush; on standoffs they sit slightly off the wall and float with a shadow gap; and if the facade is uneven, ventilated or the letters are thin, we mount them on a single backing panel. We choose the fixing at the survey, and our own crew aligns every character on one baseline.

Individual 3D letters or one solid lightbox — which should I choose?

Individual letters give relief, shadow and a more premium look: the facade shows between the characters and the name reads in three dimensions. A solid lightbox is an even lit field, simpler and very bright at night; we build those as a separate service. At the survey we'll advise which suits your facade and goal.

Will 3D letters survive rain, snow and freezing weather?

Yes — outdoor letters are built to run all year round. The closed body shields the LEDs from rain and snow, the modules themselves are moisture-protected, and the low-voltage 12 V supply is safe in any weather. Acrylic, stainless steel and composite handle frost and UV without trouble. The sign and installation carry a one-year warranty, and we keep servicing the sign after it ends.

We're in another city — how do ordering and installation work?

We work across all of Ukraine, so most details are agreed remotely: photos of the facade and rough dimensions are enough to discuss the construction, materials and lighting. The letters are made at our own workshop in Kyiv, and our own crew travels for the survey and installation — no local subcontractors. The exact price, just as for Kyiv orders, comes after the survey.
