Installation is usually faster than traditional channel letter installation because the letters are pre-assembled on the raceway before arriving on-site. This can reduce installation time significantly.
Raceway Signs
A raceway is a slim aluminum box that holds all the electrical wiring and power components for your channel letters. Instead of installing each letter separately on the wall, the letters are mounted directly onto the raceway.
The entire sign is assembled in advance and then installed as one complete unit, making the installation process faster, cleaner, and more precise.
At SignAndGlow, our raceway solutions ensure:

Neat, professional appearance with no visible wiring
Durable and safe construction for long-lasting performance
Works perfectly with channel letters and illuminated signs
Whether for retail stores, offices, or commercial spaces, SignAndGlow raceway signs provide a sleek and professional look while saving time and effort during installation.
The Crucial Advantages of Raceway Mounting
Choosing a Raceway Mounting System offers practical advantages that traditional letter-by-letter installation often cannot provide. It simplifies installation, protects the building structure, and keeps the entire signage system organized and professional.
Benefits of Our Channel Letter Raceway
Minimal Building Penetration
One of the biggest advantages of raceway mounting is that it requires very few holes in the building facade. Instead of drilling separate holes for every letter, the entire sign is secured through the raceway box, reducing structural impact and potential repair costs.
Clean, Concealed Wiring
All electrical wiring, power supplies, and transformers are safely housed inside the raceway box. This keeps the wiring hidden from view, creating a cleaner appearance while also making future maintenance easier.
Faster and Simpler Installation
Because the channel letters are pre-mounted and pre-wired onto the raceway, installation on-site becomes much quicker. This can significantly reduce installation time, labour costs, and equipment rental such as lifts.
Landlord-Friendly Solution
Many property owners and landlords prefer raceway-mounted signs because they protect the building facade. The system also makes it easier to remove or replace signage in the future without extensive wall repairs.

When to Choose a Raceway Sign System
Choosing a *Raceway Sign System* often depends on building regulations, installation conditions, and the type of sign being installed. In many situations, a raceway mount becomes the most practical and compliant solution.
Tenant Lease Requirements
Many commercial property leases limit the number of holes that can be drilled into a building’s facade. In these cases, a *Channel Letter Raceway system* is often the preferred choice because it reduces wall penetrations while still providing strong and secure support for the sign.
Building Construction Type
Some building materials—such as thin metal siding, composite panels, or complex architectural facades—are not ideal for multiple mounting points. A raceway system helps distribute the weight of the sign evenly and protects the building surface during installation.
This makes raceway mounting a *safe, reliable, and building-friendly option* for many businesses installing professional signage. ✨

What is a raceway sign system?
A raceway sign system uses an aluminum box (called a raceway) to mount channel letters. The raceway houses all electrical wiring and power supplies, allowing the entire sign to be installed as a single unit.
Why are raceway signs used for channel letters?
Raceway signs make installation easier and safer. Instead of mounting each letter individually, the letters are pre-mounted on the raceway, reducing installation time and simplifying electrical connections.
Do raceway signs damage the building wall?
No. One of the biggest benefits of raceway signs is that they require very few holes in the building facade, helping protect the structure and reducing repair work if the sign is removed later.
Are raceway signs suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Raceway signs are designed for exterior use and are made from durable materials like aluminum, which can withstand weather, moisture, and temperature changes.
Can raceway signs be illuminated?
Yes. Raceway systems are commonly used with illuminated channel letters. The raceway safely holds the power supply and wiring for LED lighting.
Are raceway signs allowed by landlords and property managers?
In many commercial buildings, landlords actually prefer raceway signs because they reduce wall penetrations and make future sign removal easier.
Can raceway signs be customized for different sizes?
Yes. Raceway signs can be built to support small storefront lettering or large commercial channel letter signs depending on the building and branding requirements.
