  • Sign Fixings – Advice needed please?

    Posted by Peter Thomas on 16 May 2018 at 18:41

    Hi

    Just wondering what fixings people use for putting up aluminium signs on brickwork?

    Ideally would like the coloured type heads but not polytops.

    Links appreciated please.

    Thanks

    Peter

    Spray your own for fixings before going onsite.

    Hi Derek

    Yes tried those before and have a stock on the van. Just wondered what everybody else uses.

    Thanks

    I use a mixture of the Pro-Dec caps and sprayed 25mm versions of these:

    we go through around 5000+ of these a year – dirt cheap, can drill through 2-3mm of solid aluminium or steel or equally at home into a rawl plug or timber.

    Keep a mixture of pre-sprayed ones in the van – mainly black & white as a flatter profile than caps.
