where can i source sliding brackets for signs?
Hi Folks
I need to find some simple brackets which I can attach to the face of a sign (probably dibond) so the customer can then slide in changing opening times. If anyone knows of something that exists that can be purchased from a DIY establishment or have invented something themselves would be much appreciated. I sort of visualise something in aluminium like a channel, but not bulky. Many thanks in advance.
Spooky

What sort of size are we talking because B&Q sell short lengths(1mtr) of aluminium in a "U" shape at different sizes. A strip of this on its side fitted with VHB tape would do the trick.

Try some of the alum companies for an extrusion called
WALLBOARD CHANNEL comes in 3 or 5 mm gaps for more of a word! -
Fred does wallboard channel not have a groove either side so you can join 2 boards together? Great if you want to make up something with a series of sliding panels.

Thanks both, that sounds promising. A ‘U’ shaped channel would do the trick, and I also think that the best way to attach it would be using VHB. It doesn’t have to be very big as the sliding panels will only be approx 60 – 70mm deep by whatever width I decide to do the sign (approx 600mm). Next stop B&Q!

Martin,
there is also a single grooved extrusion which is spot on
for interchangeable applications. -
Thanks for that Fred, I suppose that would be to fit on the end board to protect the edges.
