As you can see from the image at left, ABS/Plex Vacuum Formed Sign Letters are hollow in the back and require some type of additional hardware for mounting purposes. We allow you to purchase without mounts assuming you have some other way to affix them. Please note that ordering without a mount will require you to return them to the factory at your expense, if you later decide you want mounts. The same goes for mounting patterns. |
 |
A small flange is left around the outside back of the letter which ranges from 1/8" to 3/8" wide depending on the size of the letter. You can use this flange to secure the letters with small screws through the flange. Not available on small sizes. |
 |
Where drilling your wall is not desirable or not allowed by a landlord, the pad mount provides a way to surface mount the letters using silicon adhesive directly to a surface. Best for indoor applications as outdoors will make them easily stolen or subject to wind loss. Apply silicon caulk liberally to the pads and apply directly to the wall surface using masking tape to hold the letters in position while the silicon sets. |
 |
Same as the pad mount but with adjustable pads to allow for stand off. Adjustability is approximately 0" - 3/8". Other sizes can be requested. |
 |
One of the easiest methods to use is the stud mount. Threaded plastic blocks are glued into the backs of the letters at the factory and a threaded metal rod (stud) is screwed into the block. Using a mounting pattern (sold separately), drill required holes in the wall or mounting surface then fill holes and coat studs with silicon then push the entire assembly into the holes.
TIP: Be sure to drill holes slightly oversize. Studs should not be tight in holes to allow for expansion/contraction. Be sure to order the mounting pattern(s) with the letters otherwise you will have to return the letters to make one later. Also See additional notes bottom of page. |
 |
Same as the stud mount with the addition of stud through pads on the top part of the letters, fixed pads on the bottom of the letters. The stud through pads are adjustable and the rods are designed to go into pre drilled holes in your wall. This mount COMBINES the pad mount with the stud mount allowing for less drilling which may be desirable.
See additional notes bottom of page and review videos for proper install methods. |
 |
Stud through pads on ALL parts of the letters allow for maximum adjustability and standoff if desired. The stud through pads are adjustable and the rods are designed to go into pre drilled holes in your wall. Drilling is required for each stud/pad in the same way as the stud mount but also provides full adjustability for depth and uneven surfaces.
See additional notes bottom of page and review videos for proper install methods. |
VERY IMPORTANT
All mounting hardware is added at the factory by hand. There are no specific locations for hardware to be placed in the back of the letter and therefore the locations of studs or combo/combination all type mounts will likely vary from letter to letter, EVEN WHEN THOSE LETTERS ARE OTHERWISE IDENTICLE !
When you order more than one set of identical letters for a project, YOU WILL NEED AN ADDITIONAL MOUNTING TEMPLATE!
When you receive your letters you will find a tag in the back of each letter that specifies to which position and which mounting pattern it belongs. It is vitally important that you match the letters to the mounting pattern BEFORE beginning installation.

ABS Vacuum Formed plastic letters and numbers are made from co-extruded Plexiglas.
Plexiglas is 10 times stronger than competing brand name products. It also has higher color retention in outdoor environments. Unlike softer materials used for vacuum forming, the adhesion of the mounting hardware in the backs of the letters does not produce dimpling of the face, caused by the melting of the plastic with adhesives. This material is easy to sovent weld, has excellent color stability and incomparable weather-ability under the most severe outdoor exposures.
While the letters themselves are not brand name, Plexiglas is a household name, used for countless products. We are so confident in this type of letter, we guarantee them for the lifetime of your sign. No fading, cracking or chipping.
There are 17 standard pigmented colors to choose from as well as an array of painted colors. Custom painted colors are also available using PMS matching or using a manufactures color such as Sherwin Williams, PPG, etc. ABS Vacuum Formed plastic letters are the same type of letters that a sign company would sell and install for you. Buying these letters online and installing them yourself can save you more than half of what you would pay a sign company to do. |
