Stud Type Mounts

Studs or Pins are all thread rods that screw into holes or blocks on the back of the letter and typically get glued into holes in the mounting surface using a liquid adhesive such as silicon caulk, liquid nails or epoxy

Most letters will have one or more of this type of mount available depending on the size, thickness and product type you choose.

Surface Mounts

Surface mounts are typically better for indoor use since the sign letters are not physically attached with hardware and may fall off the mounting surface. Some form of liquid adhesive such as silicon caulk, liquid nails or epoxy is needed

Molded Plastics are hollow in the back and cannot use tape or glue directly on the back.

REAL METAL LAMINATED TO AN ACRYLIC BACKING

Metal on Acrylic Sign Letters are also referred to as Metal Laminate Sign Letters or Metal Face Acrylic Sign Letters. The product is made by laminating pre-finished decorative sheets of 24 gauge anodized aluminum to a thicker backing of acrylic to create sign letters that are up to 1.5" deep. The edge of the acrylic is visible but we can paint them to near match the face but they will not have a metal look like a solid metal sign letter would. Most customers order the letters on black acrylic which gives them a very nice 2 tone shadow effect.

NOT RECOMMENDED OR WARRANTED FOR OUTDOOR USE

Metal Face Acrylic Sign Letters are very popular and budget friendly, often used behind or above the reception desk and in waiting areas, lobbys and for honor walls. Many larger facilities use them for directional signage to mark rooms and direct visitors to elevators and restrooms. Metal on Acrylic is not recommended or warranted for outdoor use as they have no protection from UV which may cause fading, bleaching or color streaking of the metal finish and may even delaminate in extreme heat.

Mounting Hardware

PLAIN MOUNT

The no-mount option is for when you want to glue letters directly to a flat surface using some kind of adhesive such as silicon caulk or liquid nails. The problem with this type of installation is that glue tends to squeeze out the edges and it can get very messy. Also, until your glue sets the letters can move around and for large letters that means you need to use long strips of masking tape to hold them in place.

DOUBLEFACE TAPE MOUNT

Double sided tape can only be applied to letters up to 24" in height. If using this option then always use a liquid silicon caulk as well to protect the letters in case the tape should fail

PAD MOUNT

Plastic pad extending beyond back of letter, typical with plastic letters, install product direct to wall without having to drill any holes. Installed with use of a spacing guide. Silicone is a common adhesive to hold such letters.

STUD IN BLOCK MOUNT

This is the default stud mount. This option will have blocks glued to the backs of the letters that create a natural surface standoff of about 3/8" which can be enhanced by choosing a standoff length in the forms options. The blocks are drilled and tapped to accept studs(threaded rods) that get glued into holes drilled in the mounting surface. A drill mounting pattern is required.

COMBO MOUNT

The combo or combination mount differs from the combination all mount in that it only has stud THROUGH pads on the tops of the letters and standard PAD mounts on the bottoms. This mount is useful where you want to drill as few holes as possible and still have mounting rods(studs) in the wall. Installed by drilling holes for the stud through pad and adhering non stud pads directly to mounting surface. A drill mounting pattern is required.

COMBO ALL MOUNT

The combination all mount is stud through pad on all points. This gives you adjustability on every stud and is useful for irregular surfaces such as corrugated metal buildings, lap siding, stone walls or anywhere you want a standoff form the wall that is adjustable during installation. A drill mounting pattern is required

FLUSH STUD MOUNT

Letters have to be at least 3/8" thick to drill and tap the holes but this mount is very secure since it does not rely on a glued block to hold the stud. This mount is best used without wall stand-off which will compromise the purpose of this mount which is to prevent theft. If you want stand-off you can select it also but allow for the stud length which should be 2" in the wall plus the length of the stand-off. Mounting pattern is required. See the section above for mounting to real brick or for more information.
