Great for a tech office

Our startup wanted something modern for the office entrance. The trimless letters look minimal and sharp. Installation was straightforward with the provided template.

Clean and bold look for our gym

Borderless letters on our gray wall look clean and bold, with no trimcap at all. Great quality for the price and exactly the modern look we wanted.

★★★★★

Modern, seamless look

No trim cap makes a huge difference. The letters look like solid glowing acrylic blocks. Our landlord actually asked where we got them for another tenant. Great communication from start to finish.
