Installing Acrylic Lettering and Numbers
There are many different ways to install these numbers and letters depending on the surface you have and size. For example, if you have letters under 6” you can get away with double sided tape for indoor installation. Anytime you are outside we suggest you use any form of stud mounting to really anchor into the wall. This is a must for large letters that are heavier, for safety reasons you want to make sure they do not fall. When attaching to any wall, board or other flat surface you can use standoff spacers to give the sign a little depth especially if you are using thinner acrylic. The spacers come from ¼-1” and can look really great. With the standoff you have the option to put led lighting behind the letter to get that glow look at night if your sign is outdoors. When using stud mounting to install please use 100% pure silicone in the hole to hold everything in place. If you need more instruction or have questions a specialist is always around to help you with your acrylic sign letters. Please call us or email.

We do recommend the Install Pattern, which will help install the letters straight and evenly spaced. The pattern will show you exactly where to drill the holes.
