    Posted by Terry Bull on September 22, 2004 at 9:52 pm

    Could someone recommend a source for 5mm perspex flat cut stand off letters

    The last lot I ordered were from Moulded Letter co a few years ago but their number is now not recognised

    Also whats the best way to fit these letters to warehouse cladding it appears to be thin aluminium with an expanded foam insulation backing would self tappers do the job ,the letters will probably be about 18 ins high

    last lot went into brick

    cheers

    There’s a few on here who can supply cut letters so I’m sure someone will be able to help. I think cladding is usually steel (I could be wrong) and I’ve always used decent quality self tappers with no problems so far. Don’t forget to make a template of the cladding spacing before sticking the locators on the letters otherwise half the locators will miss the cladding completely. ( I know this sounds obvious but I know I’ve done it !)

    andy is right mate.. good few members on the site do flat cuts im sure..
    maybe an idea to pop a post in the quotes forum while you are waiting on contacts. 😉

    as for fitting etc… how high up are they and do they need to be raised?

    The cladding may well be thin steel the profile is very shallow ribs running horizontally so i dont expect probs in that department its just whether they would be secure on standoffs and selftappers

    I could probably fit straight to cladding without pegs etc but how ,stick em?

    regarding height ,reckon i could do it from a domestic tower not to high

    i’ll work out the sizes i need and post for quote on site TA
