  Recommended Board and Fixings?

  Posted by Joseph Helm on 26 January 2009 at 12:42

  Hi Everyone

  We’ve been asked to quote for a large, full print sign.

  It’s 8’x4′ and it’s going on the side of a building that’s made from stone, so it’s an uneven surface.

  What board and fixings do you recommend for this?

  Thanks

  Joseph

  Dibond or ally tray.
  but you can also get good effect if a flat ally panel is "stood off" from the wall using angle set in from the edge of the panel, so not visible

  We did a 21ft x 4ft sign, But the building we did it on had plenty of big dips in it.

  We did it by screwing wooden baton’s to the building using packers to even it out, then screwed the sign trim to it and because it was a front loading system we just popped the panels in and job done.

  If using a sign try its even easier, as the ally angle has got a bit more strength than sign trim.

  For board i would just use a hording panel.

  Basically whoever you use for your general sign boards should be able to supply you with the suitable kit.

  Its a bit hard for one of the board members to give you a contact number as most suppliers only deliver locally or charge a premium for delivering out of the area.
