Buy Channel Letter Raceway Signs: The Fastest and Safest Mounting System

The complexity of installing large Channel Letters often comes down to the mounting method. When landlords restrict building penetrations or when installation time is critical, the Raceway Signs system is the perfect solution. A raceway is a discreet, structurally sound aluminum box that houses all the wiring and power supplies for your letters. This allows us to pre-mount your letters in our workshop and deliver them as a single, ready-to-install unit. If you need a high-impact sign without the high-cost, high-risk installation of individual letters, our Channel Letter Raceway system provides the speed, safety, and compliance you require.

The Crucial Advantages of Raceway Mounting

Choosing a Raceway Mounting System offers logistical, structural, and financial benefits that direct mounting cannot match.

Benefits of Our Channel Letter Raceway

• Minimum Building Penetration: This is the biggest selling point. The raceway box only requires a few holes to secure the entire sign to the facade, drastically reducing risk and repair costs to the building structure (unlike the numerous holes required for individual letter mounting).
• Concealed Wiring: All internal wiring, power supplies, and transformers are neatly hidden within the Signage Raceway Box, creating a clean, professional look and simplifying maintenance.
• Faster Installation: Since the Channel Letter Raceway is pre-wired and pre-assembled, installation time on-site is often cut in half, minimizing disruption and saving you money on lift rentals and labour.
• Ideal for Landlords: Landlords and property managers often prefer Raceway Signs because they protect the building's integrity and simplify future sign removal or replacement.

Technical Deep Dive: What Makes a Raceway Work?

A raceway is far more than just a metal box; it is an engineered component designed for structural stability and electrical compliance.

Raceway Design and Fabrication

• Material and Durability: We fabricate our raceways using heavy-gauge, powder-coated aluminum, ensuring maximum durability against exterior conditions.
• Structural Support: The raceway serves as a rigid backer, distributing the weight of the Mounted Channel Letters evenly across the wall, making it a stronger solution than systems where letters are individually secured.
• Electrical Compliance: The internal compartment provides essential protection for the wiring, ensuring that your Fast Install Channel Letters meet all local electrical safety codes and regulations.

When to Choose a Raceway System

The decision to use a raceway hinges on building regulations and site-specific needs:

• Tenant Leases: If your lease agreement strictly limits the number of holes you can drill into the facade, the Channel Letter Raceway system is non-negotiable.
• Building Construction: Raceways are often mandatory for certain building materials, such as thin metal siding, or when dealing with complex facade materials.
• Large Signs: For very large Metal Building Signs or Channel Letter sets, the raceway simplifies handling and installation logistics considerably.
• Alternative Structures: For signs that are self-contained, such as Lightbox Signs or Push-Through Signs, a raceway is not typically needed, highlighting the raceway's specialized role in letter-based signage.

FAQs

What is a raceway sign and why is it beneficial?

A raceway is a metal rectangular box that houses the electrical wiring and power supplies for your 3D letters. The main benefit is that the letters are pre-installed on the raceway, requiring far fewer holes in your building’s facade compared to direct mounting.
