Stud Mount
Studs involve the use of all threaded metal rods that screw into plastic retainer blocks that have been glued into the backs of the plastic letter. No two letters are interchangeable, even letters of the same character. This is because the stud blocks are glued into the letters by hand and each will have unique positioning. On the pattern, a circle identifies the position of each stud where it falls inside a letter. Drill holes for studs and use silicone adhesive to hold the studs securely in the holes. |
Pad & Adjustable Pad Mount
Pad mounts are achieved with the use of perforated plastic disks or rectangles that are glued into the backs of the letters so that they are almost flush with the letter wall. Order Adjustable pads if you want a non-flush installation or for uneven surfaces. Best used in indoor situations on drywall and outside where drilling holes might be either unsightly or too difficult as in the case of very hard concrete.The pad mount relies on silicone adhesive to glue it to the mounting surface. Long strips of masking tape should be employed to hold the letters in position while the adhesive dries. |
Combination and Combo All Mount
A combo mount differs from a stud mount in that the upper portion of the letter will have studs and adjustable pads that can be screwed up or down the stud. The lower portion of the letter has nonadjustable pad type mounts. This configuration is good for uneven surfaces, such as lap siding where an adjustable top will allow the letters to be vertically plumbed. Also use for hard concrete situations where you want the rods anchored in the building for security. The pads below get surface mounted like pad mount.
On the combo all mount, each stud has a plastic perforated disc that can be screwed up or down the stud shaft. This allows for full adjustability over all mounting points allowing you to install against corrugated tin, curved surfaces and all manor of uneven surfaces. The studs through pads also allows you to stand off the letters from your mounting surface, giving a greater depth or to allow for some form of back lighting. |
