What are the ways to install a Fabricated Stainless Steel signage?

Stud Mount Installation

This is the most popular installation option for Fabricated Stainless Steel.

• Drill holes in the wall or surface where the letters will go.

• You can glue the letters directly to the surface to make them stick.

• If the back of the wall is accessible (like behind a raceway), you can use nuts to tighten the screws from behind, securely holding the letters in place. 
  • A raceway is typically used for larger signs, as its use depends heavily on the size and weight of the sign.

PVC Backer Installation

This is the second most popular installation option for Fabricated Stainless Steel

• If the sign is small and it’s going indoors, you can just use glue to stick the letters directly onto the wall or surface. No need for screws or special tools.

• If the letters are big and you can’t attach them using screws from the back, just nail the PVC backing panel onto the wall or mounting base first. Then you can put the letters on that.

• Fasten the metal letters to the PVC backer using the pre-drilled holes on the sides (returns) of the Fabricated letters. 

Alternative to Back Mount Installation

• If mounting from the back is too difficult, we can use a 1-inch-thick PVC base behind each letter. First, nail the PVC base to the wall. 
• Then, screw the metal letters onto the PVC from the sides, using holes on the sides (return) of the letters.
