The 500C & 525C Series is a non-illuminated changeable letterboard directory with felt covered grooved boards designed to receive a variety of molded changeable letter styles and sizes.
Materials and Construction
Standard letterboard material consists of felt covered grooved particle board with grooves spaced 1/4" apart. Black felt covered boards are standard. Any felt color listed can be substituted for black. Felt colors are indicated by an order number and name and have been oriented to coordinate with the standard plaque colors; however, they are not an exact match. For exterior environments, black Koroseal vinyl covered boards are recommended in lieu of felt.
Integral header panels, which are used for identifying information, are offered in the standard 5" height and in all Vomar acrylic colors. Graphic processes include front surface silkscreen or applied graphics such as vinyl die-cut letters or dimensional cutout letters. "H" after elevation number indicates the standard 5" integral header panel.
Door Types
Standard cover panel is a hinged clear glass panel that is held in place by spring retainers. A clear acrylic plastic cover panel material can be substituted for clear glass if required. Doors with tamper-proof retainers for locking can be specified. A dust-seal, that is recessed into the reveal area between the frame and glass cover panel or door, assures perfect alignment and ease of maintenance.
