About this Project

There are projects that require attention to the smallest detail and the Display Wall for the Rochester Central School District, Flower City School 54, located in Rochester, NY, was one of those projects. 

Cooper Sign Company was contracted to provide the interior and exterior signage for this project, which included this feature wall using beautiful flat cut aluminum letters, painted to match the finish of the dimensional flower shaped tile that had a pearl white finish. 

So how do you install letters to an uneven surface and have the letters all project so they are level and all project to the same measurement? 

• First, a sample of the tile was sent to us so we could test different drill bits to drill the holes in the tile to insert the studs, which hold the letters to the wall.
• Secondly, we made a pattern using a clear piece of acrylic so we could see the back side and mark the placement of the holes. 

We arrived on site knowing we would be working very slowly.  The holes were drilled and the letters were set one by one measuring and double checking with each letter. 

The project was finished with success and I credit my installation team for their patience and skill to avoid any damage to the tile during the installation.  The architects concept on paper became a beautiful reality in Rochester, New York.
