Sign Installation Resources

How you install a sign depends on its design and mounting type. Review the mounting options below to find installation resources and learn more.

Mounting Types

  • Letter R with double-sided tape sign mounting.

    Double-Sided Tape Mount

    Strips of VHB tape are applied to the back of the product. This option is only warrantied for interior, flat, drywall installations.

  • Letter R with stud mounts on the back.

    Stud Mount (Back)

    1/4" thick or thicker sign elements are drilled and tapped on the back to receive threaded studs. 1/8" thick sign elements are too thin to be drilled so plastic blocks are attached to receive the threaded studs.

  • Letter R with pad mounts.

    Pad Mount

    Plastic pads are glued to the back. These are mounted using construction grade adhesive on the pads, and sticking the letters on a wall.

  • Letter R with full coverage double-faced tape on the back.

    Full Coverage Double-Sided Tape

    Letters have either fully or partially covered backs with a VHB, double-faced tape. This option is only warrantied for interior, flat, drywall installations.

  • Letter R with combination mounts on the top and pad mounts on the bottom.

    Combination Mount

    Have studs through a pad on the top portion of each letter and pads on the bottom portion. Often used for mounting on uneven surfaces. Sign elements must be 6" or taller.

  • Letter R with combination mounts on the back.

    Combination All Mount

    Have studs through a pad inserted on the top and bottom portions of each letter. This is often used for installations on uneven surfaces. Sign elements must be 6" or taller.

How to Install Stud Mounted Signs Using a Drill Pattern

Mounting Guides

  • Example of a drill pattern mounting template used to install building sign letters with stud mounting.

    Drill Pattern

    Our drill patterns are computer-generated tracings of your sign design with mounting hole locations. They are printed on durable, tear-resistant paper that is 54 inches tall and as wide as needed for your design.

  • A rigid stencil sign mounting guide with a hand lifting one letter out of the guide.

    Rigid Stencil Guide

    A rigid stencil guide is made by cutting out your sign's design from a piece of cardboard. This guide is then taped to the wall and each piece of your sign is set inside its corresponding cutout location to stick it to the wall.

  • A worker creating a spacing guide to assist with the installation of sign letters.

    Spacing Guide

    Our spacing guide is a 2 inch roll of paper with marks indicating the bottom portion of each sign element.
