  Can i fix stand off acrylic letters to the cladding shown?

  Posted by John Harding on 3 February 2009 at 16:21

  Can i fix stand off acrylic letters to the cladding shown high up in the attached pic, I was worried that the cladding parts may move independently to each other and hence pop off any stand off fixings due to pressure if that makes sense. does any one know or has anyone done similar.

  Thanks in advance – John

  john, you will have no problem, leave the cups a tad loose when fixing, that will allow for any slight expansion, these guys make a good fixing and they have a lifetime guaratee on the cups 🙂

  I would not fully tighten up the fixings, and use a screw size that gives plenty of free play in the female part of the fixing, this should give enough free movement should there be any expansion of the cladding panels
