Built-up letters – front-lit
The light shines forward through the face: the letter itself lights up. The most eye-catching version, visible from a distance. The choice along a busy road or between competing façades.
Illuminated signage
Built-up letters
Built-up letters are individual three-dimensional letters fixed separately to your façade. They give depth and a high-end impression that a flat panel never achieves. The question is not whether you light them, but how: front-lit, halo-lit, or not at all. That choice decides how your façade looks after dark — whether you stand out or stay understated.
Approach
Made to measure
Variants
Built-up letters – halo-lit
The light is thrown backwards onto the façade. The letter stays dark and stands out against a halo. Subtler and more refined — the choice for offices, hotels and brands that would rather not shout.
Built-up letters – non-illuminated
Three-dimensional, with a cast shadow in daylight, but invisible after dark. The choice when a permit rules out illumination, or when your premises are only visited during the day.
What this gives you
From first sketch to maintenance — one partner who handles everything in-house.
01
One partner, from A to Z
You call one number. We measure, design, produce, install and maintain. No fragmented responsibility, no waiting on subcontractors pointing at each other.
02
You see it before it exists
A 3D visualisation of your own façade or space, by day and by night. We only start producing once that image is right. No surprises afterwards.
03
In-house production in Olen
Custom work from our own workshops, without intermediaries. That means a shorter lead time, a sharper price, and changes that are genuinely still possible.
04
Built to last
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Colourfast, weather-resistant materials and energy-efficient LED lighting. With long-term service and maintenance.
The three versions differ not in material but in the direction of the light, and that changes everything about the effect.
Front-lit: the light shines forward through the face of the letter, so the letter itself glows. This is the most eye-catching version, visible from a distance, and the logical choice along a busy road or on an industrial estate where you have to stand out between other façades.
Halo-lit, also called back-lit or reverse-lit letters: the light shines backwards onto the wall. The letter itself stays dark and is silhouetted against a halo of light. Subtler, and generally read as more upmarket. The choice for offices, hotels and brands that would rather not shout.
Non-illuminated: no lighting at all. Still three-dimensional, still casting a shadow in daylight, but invisible after dark. The choice when a permit rules out illumination, or when your premises only see visitors during the day.
We produce in plastic, aluminium or a combination of both, in any RAL or PMS colour. You receive a 3D visualisation of your own façade beforehand, by day and by night, so you can judge the three versions side by side before anything goes into production.
Mind the permit: illuminated fascia signage requires planning permission in virtually every Belgian municipality.

Frequently asked questions
Wat kost een verlichte gevelletter?
Dat hangt af van de afmeting, de dieptes, het materiaal en het type verlichting. Een set doosletters voor een winkelgevel ligt in een heel andere orde dan één grote letter op een bedrijfsgebouw. Onze prijzen staan niet publiek op de site; u kunt toegang aanvragen tot het facility platform, of een vrijblijvende offerte vragen.
Hoelang gaat de LED-verlichting mee?
Kwaliteits-LED in doosletters gaat doorgaans 50.000 tot 100.000 branduren mee — bij normaal gebruik dus vele jaren. De voedingen zijn meestal het eerste dat vervangen moet worden. Wij blijven bereikbaar voor onderhoud en vervanging.
Kan de verlichting automatisch aan- en uitgaan?
Ja. We voorzien een schemerschakelaar of een tijdklok, zodat uw reclame aangaat wanneer het donker wordt en uitgaat op het uur dat u kiest. Dat scheelt in verbruik en voorkomt klachten van buren.
Heb ik een vergunning nodig?
Voor verlichte gevelreclame vraagt vrijwel elke Belgische gemeente een omgevingsvergunning. De voorwaarden verschillen sterk. Wij adviseren over wat haalbaar is en leveren de plannen en 3D-visualisaties voor uw dossier.
Didn't find what you were looking for?
What you see here is a selection. Our range is considerably wider — in sizes, materials and finishes that we cannot all show online. Tell us what you need it for and where it has to go, and we will work out what fits.
