How to choose the right sign fixing

There is plenty to think about when choosing signage, so it is not surprising that most people give little thought to fixings.

Compared with selecting the type of sign, the design and the colour scheme, it can seem a trivial point. Here is the crux of it though: without the correct fixings, your sign will not sit right, and may even fall. Keep reading to find out what type you need.

Standoff fixings

This type is used a lot in contemporary signage installation, and it creates an impressive 3D look. This is because the style of the fixings lifts the sign away from the surface that it is being attached to. This is a particularly good choice for lobby, retail and office signage.

Bolts and screws

Fixings of this sort may seem old fashioned, but they can still be the most reliable choice in some situations. If you are installing a large indoor sign or a heavy outdoor one, bolts and screws will ensure that it stays in place. You must consider safety, as signs of this kind can cause real harm if they fall.

Track and rail fixings

These will work best for signs that are replaced or updated on a regular basis. This could mean directional signs or temporary sales ones.
This kind of fixing allows the signs to be slid in and out of place easily, but that does not come at the cost of safety or security.
