Acrylic, Plexiglass, Stainless Steel or Aluminum letters can be sprayed or powder coated in any desired color. Levels of matte and glossy finish as desired. color codes and pan shades can be matched with existing onboard colors as part of your yacht.
Mounting options for lettering
mounting methods
When applying lettering to your vessel it is worth keeping in mind that the superstructure will need to be repainted or updated at some point during the life of your yacht.
Yachtsigns by Patrick de Letter has taken this into account and for that reason we have developed two separate mounting methods that we recommend to easily remove the letters at any time, both methods are purely a matter of preference.
If you have any questions or preferences, we would be happy to discuss the options over the phone.
Our ship lettering systems
Whether it is an LED signage or a fiber optic signage, our lettering and lighting systems for yachts are designed and developed to survive in the marine environment. Our yacht LED signage has ‘energy saving’ and ‘ease of installation’ qualities, while our fiber optic system is very safe and does not emit any external electricity or heat.
Our systems are compatible with 12 V DC and 24 V DC, with European and American mains power supplies. All our enlightened ship lettering boards come standard with a thick acrylic protective layer where the relevant light source resides. This acrylic backing can be ‘Flush’, ‘Beveled’ or ‘Inset’. Backings can also be thickened to suit your aesthetic requirements.
External mounting system
Our (Male / female) external mounting system ensures that too outside lettering on the outside of the yacht can be fitted without access to the interior.
Of course, we can supply any mounting method you are familiar with, whether you want to use cable glands, bushings, pins and threaded pins.
If desired, we also have the option of designing the backs so that they are perfectly match the curvature of the superstructureof the yacht.
