    Afternoon all

    We are looking to make an internal sign for a customer.

    They are wanting it made from aluminum and stood off the wall.

    just looking for some advise as to where to get the stand off from and the process of installing the sign

    cheers

    for the advice

    stand offs can be bought from the likes of MidWest Displays, Fairfield Display, e-shop fittings etc and the female portion is attached to the wall, with the male stud passing through the sign. Just ues as many as you need depending on the size of the sign

    I get mine from this guy, his names Steve and he has been a great supplier to me for the last 3 years, next day on everything pretty much and he has these stand offs in packs of 4 for£4.99 so cheaper still, in all colours

    As far as i am aware Ispi is still trading as normal and is being run by Chris Ferry’s two sons, who worked along side him.

    I will second I-spi as they had a great range and the best prices i could find within our trade.

    Morning all

    thanks for all the replies

    i normally buy the metal stand offs from ispi – top lads great service

    im really looking for the plastic ones that are generally used when creating a sign that has letters cut from acrylic standing off from a aluminum back board

    i hope explaining my self

    lets just says its the common stand offs that break when brittle

    sorry if it sounds all messed up

    cheers in advance
