More Than Just a Sign
Custom Dimensional Letters in Chicago That Actually Work
Printed signs are fine. Dimensional letters are memorable. The shadow line cast by a three-dimensional logo makes a lobby look built, not decorated. Channel letters on a Chicago storefront read from a block away when a flat printed sign does not.
Ambees Signage fabricates and installs dimensional letters across Chicago in every common material brushed aluminum, painted acrylic, stainless steel, PVC, and foam-core. Flush-mount, standoff, face-lit, and halo-lit variations for lobbies, conference rooms, storefronts, and monument signs.
We cut, finish, and paint in-house to keep timelines tight and finish quality consistent. Installs are surveyed in advance and installed level, on-spec, without wall damage.

Helpful Quick Answers
FAQs
What size should our lobby letters be?
A safe rule of thumb: letters should be roughly one inch tall for every ten feet of viewing distance. A 20-foot lobby wall typically looks best with 18–24 inch letters. We mock up every Chicago project at scale before you commit.
How are dimensional letters installed?
Depending on finish and wall type, letters are installed with studs drilled into the wall, VHB adhesive for smaller pieces, or a pre-drilled template for precise placement. We survey every site to spec the right method.
Can dimensional letters be illuminated?
Yes. Halo-lit, face-lit, and edge-lit variants are all available. Illumination adds fabrication time and requires a power source near the wall we flag that up front.
Will installing letters damage my wall?
Any stud-mounted letter leaves small holes in the wall. We patch cleanly on removal, and for tenant-friendly installs we can spec adhesive-only mounting. Halo-lit pieces require a power drop, which may leave a small electrical knockout behind the letter.
How do your prices compare to an online letter shop?
Online letter shops tend to be cheaper on a per-letter basis but ship raw parts to you. We survey, fabricate, paint, and install and stand behind the finished wall. For most Chicago offices the delta is small relative to the finish quality and the avoided installation headaches.
