Tried those, they’re the ones with £150 minimum order. 😕

Hi David , what sort of panel are the split batons going on to ?
We use aluminium "Z" rail on MDF/Ply signs, Acrylic on Acrylic/dibond/Foamex

[David Hammond]

Going on 10mm foamex, fitted in a public area so I think they want it close fitting to the wall.

[Iain Pearson]

How big is the panel ?
If it’s in a public area I think I would want something a bit more secure.
Does it have to be on a split baton or could you use something like keyhole fixings ?

[David Hammond]

7@ 600×850 & 2 @ 1000×500

I suppose keyhole fixings may do the job, it’s just the customer asked specifically for split battens.

[Gil Johnson]

We have never bought them in, we just make our own from off cut materials.

We did this one recently, 5mm acrylic with routed text white backing.

[David Hammond]

I’m curious as to how you make your own?

Do you have a router in house?

[Gil Johnson]

Hi David,

We cut strips of material as per pic, you can add stoppers to the ends and put a concealed screw in the top for security.

That’ll do the job! And for a fraction of the price!

we just run a 50mm strip of18mm MDF through table saw @ 45 degrees or there abouts, weight forces angles together and the 18mm gap gives a nice stand off fixing free look
