Screws with a decorative head.
The color of the cap can be gold or silver; if necessary, decorative caps can be tinted or aged. This may be necessary to do for antique signs so that the mount and the main background look harmonious with the sign.

Distance holders. Attaching signs at a distance from the wall using spacer holders. Depending on the type of holder, the distance from the wall is from 10-100 mm. This mount is indispensable when attaching to an uneven surface.

Concealed fastening using metal plugs. The plugs are cut from the front of the sign itself. You can paint them any color. Used for plates with a welded chamfer, as well as for products made using powder paint.

Hidden fastening with pins. It is when reverse side, there are no holes, decorative caps, or metal plugs on the front of the plate. Countersunk fasteners are used in the manufacture of plates with a welded chamfer. On the back of the plate, 4 studs are welded. Mark the ends of the studs with a bold marker, then apply it to the place to be mounted; the marker marks the places for drilling holes. Then the sign is inserted into them; for greater reliability against vandals, liquid nails or glue are poured into the holes.

Our company can produce individual fastenings not only for self-cuts, but also for screws.

Double-sided tapes. The most convenient and quick way use double-sided tape. There are different types of double-sided tape, some that can only be used indoors, and others that can withstand weathering on the street. When using double-sided tape, you do not need to drill holes either on the sign itself or on the wall, it is very convenient to attach the signs to the door, and you do not need to damage the doors themselves or the office interior in general. It is also convenient to attach signs to shot partitions and doors.

Hook. For free/occupied signs, use a hook.

Door handle signs, which are used in hotels and are attached to room handles.

Secret hinges can be used if the sign is framed in metallic profile Nelson. The hinges can be attached with the eye inward or outward. See photo

To attach, the sign is simply hung on a nail in the wall. The sign can be easily removed and hung back in place. To attach the sign in the Nelson frame, place the hinges securely on the outside, use a level to level it on the wall, and attach it to the cut itself through the hinges. Without special tools, the sign will be difficult to remove. The signs are very mobile, but are not protected from theft of the sign itself.

Sign mounting systems - metal, plastic spacer holders for attaching façade signs, office signs, information signs, signs, signs made of acrylic, glass, wood, metal for concrete, brick, wood, plasterboard walls... as well as for hanging signs from the ceiling... Reliable, practical, beautiful!

Sign mounting systems are decorative fastenings, which in a simple case are a bolt with a beautiful decorative cap and an extension tube, with the help of which your sign or sign is securely and beautifully fixed on the concrete facade of the building, on plasterboard wall inside the business center, on the door to the office... In addition to metal remote holders, installation systems can be cable-based - for hanging signs from the ceiling.

Remote decorative holders

The base cylinder - extension tube - is attached to the wall using screws and dowels. A plate is put on the cylinder and secured with a decorative bolt, which can be “silver”, “gold”, black, and other colors, sizes and shapes.

Sign Mounting Systems

Left: Cable system for attaching signs. A metal cable is stretched between two decorative fasteners, which are attached remotely to the wall, or to the ceiling and floor. In this way, you can attach several signs of the same design in a vertical row. The solution is relevant for business centers, office centers, government and public organizations.

On right: Tubular system for attaching signs. The signs are mounted in a row vertically on metal rods (tubes), which are mounted away from the wall using remote holders

Metal holders

Metal fasteners - distance holders. When attaching a transparent plexiglass sign to a wall (door), the tape is visible, so remote mounts for such signs are the most practical and presentable installation method.

One of the most simple ways fastenings, which can be carried out even by a non-professional. Does not require professional tool and skills. There are restrictions on the weight of the attached product, so this method is most often used indoors and for signs made of plastic or acrylic. It is recommended to use specialized tape.

Most often used for signs with a removable information part. Required metal base, to which the replacement part of the plate will be attached.

3. Screws (self-tapping screws)

One of the simplest mounting methods that does not require special skills is used in situations where it is more important to secure the sign securely rather than aesthetically.

Can only be used when framing the sign with Nielsen metal frames. The loops are placed with the eye inward or outward. If you place it with the eye inward, the hinge will be hidden and the sign will be hung on screws screwed into the wall, otherwise the sign will be attached in such a way that it will not be possible to remove it without a special tool.

One of the most aesthetic and reliable ways to attach signs. The sign moves away from the wall by 10-60 mm, depending on the type of holder. It feels like the sign is floating in the air. Holders are selected to match the style, color and material of the sign.

5. Screws with decorative caps

This method of fastening is similar to the previous one. The difference is that the product is attached close to the load-bearing surface. Decorative caps, unlike ordinary screws, look much more impressive.

6. Ceiling hangers

Structurally suspension system consists of 3 parts: a holder that is attached to the sign, a metal cable or fishing line, a holder that is attached to the ceiling.

7. Illuminated mount

Combined with one of the above mounting methods, it ensures visibility of information even at night.

How to determine the best way fastening volumetric or flat letters? What type of fastener can be used? Which fasteners should be used outdoors and which indoors?

For all types of letters, there are two main ways to attach letters:

  • without reference to the mounting surface - close
  • with a distance from the mounting surface - at some distance

The mounting surface in this case is the place where the letters (signs) are installed - a wall, substrate, partition, structure.

It must be taken into account that in almost any case the surface, with the exception of glass, will be damaged by fastening elements (screws, pins, tape) and after dismantling the letters it will need to be restored.

Any sign installation work must be carried out in clean room, without a suspension of dust in the air, such as when repair work. This situation is fraught with at least contamination of the sign and, at maximum, poor quality installation of the sign, especially on Double-sided tape.

The choice of fastener type is influenced by several factors:

  • Size of sign elements
  • Sign location
  • Surface type
  • Design project requirements

Installation of letters (signs) close to the surface

Installation of letters (sign elements) directly on the surface is usually carried out in two ways: using double-sided tape and using self-tapping screws.

It is more advisable to use double-sided tape indoors (indoor advertising); in outdoor conditions it is better to refuse this option, since the conditions external environment significantly more aggressive than indoor conditions, unless we are talking about rooms with extreme conditions stay.

Although in ordinary office premises You need to pay attention to the possible presence of “aggressive” conditions. For example, temperature changes - location in a draft from the street; heating - location heating device; cooling - location in close proximity to the air conditioner.

From the above list of conditions, we can draw an interesting conclusion: it is advisable to use double-sided tape in conditions and temperatures that are comfortable for humans.)))

Installing letters (signs) on self-tapping screws places virtually no requirements on external and internal conditions. When installing letters on self-tapping screws, the quality of the surface and the design of the letter (sign elements) that allow installation of the self-tapping screw are more important.

There are not many cases where the use of self-tapping screws is impossible, for example, a surface made of glass or expensive stone, and for such surfaces we have a wide variety of types of double-sided tape.

Installation of letters (signs) with reference to the surface

Letters (sign elements) are installed at a distance from the surface in cases where the letters are backlit or it is necessary to give the sign an additional volume effect due to the appearance of a natural shadow.

Sometimes, this installation method is dictated by the surface texture, e.g. decorative plaster or other irregularities.

When installing letters (sign elements), several types of spacer holders are used: plastic spacer holders of the “mushroom” type, threaded and plastic studs, and individually made spacer holders.

Plastic spacer holders of the “mushroom” type.

This holder has a cap and a leg - hence the name. The leg is screwed to the surface, the cap is glued to the back side of the letter, then both elements are connected using the male-female method (inserted into one another). This kind of distance holder is applicable in letters big size, since the diameter of the head is 17mm, therefore the letter element must be at least 20mm so that the holder is not very noticeable. The size (length) of the “fungus” leg allows a distance from the surface of 7 to 30 mm.

Hairpins

The pins can be installed on both small flat letters and large dimensional letters.

Threaded rods are most often installed on flat letters made of of stainless steel and volumetric letters with backlit lighting.

On flat stainless steel letters, it is necessary to install a nut into which a pin is screwed. As a rule, studs of at least M3 are used, that is, with a diameter of 3 mm, but the size of the edges of the nut is from 7 mm, so the letter element must be at least 8-9 mm.

Installing threaded rods on three-dimensional letters with backlighting is advisable for small letter sizes.

The threaded rod can be open or closed - hidden in a sleeve (hollow cylinder), extending from the back of the letter to the mounting surface. The bushing can be aluminum or plastic, glued or painted desired color, for example, in the color of the wall.

Plastic studs can be installed on flat letters made of plastic and on double-layer letters with a bottom layer of plastic. It is desirable that the thickness of flat plastic letters and the bottom layer in two-layer letters be at least 6 mm. Diameter plastic holder 4mm, so the width of the letter element must be at least 8mm.

All types of remote holders installed on letters (elements of signs) are inserted into pre-prepared holes in the wall (installation surface). The holes are marked according to a specially made template and exactly match the installation location of the remote holders installed on the letters, which guarantees the accuracy of installation of each sign element.

To order volumetric or flat letters and signs with installation, request, preferably with a letter layout in vector format, a photograph of the intended location of the sign with volumetric or flat letters to form a reference (photomontage) of the future sign. We will provide a detailed Proposal in response to your request.
