Mounting a sign so that it is visible and appealing to the eye will improve customer traffic to any business. Sign mounting barrels and caps, also known as standoff hardware, provides an easy and appealing way to mount a sign. Hardware for standoffs can be purchased on line and provides an easy and elegant way to mount a sign.

Standoff system hardware normally consists of barrels and caps. The barrels are placed below the sign and are mounted to the wall. Standoff system hardware barrels can be as short as a 1/4 inch and can be longer if desired. One benefit of using this type of signage hardware is that backlight can be added to the sign which will illuminate the entire sign. By applying a standoff hardware system the sign is not mounted directly against a wall but provides an area behind that can be utilized for lighting or background.

Signage hardware that includes barrels and caps can be plain or decorative. Mounting the signage hardware to a wall requires the correct hardware also. Screws, bolts and anchors are all necessary components of any standoff hardware system. These items are used to secure the barrel to the wall. The sign is then mounted to the barrel with a fully threaded bolt that fits through a hole in the sign. A cap is then applied to the end of the bolt to attach the sign to the barrel and secure the sign. Using the correct hardware for standoffs will insure a sturdy and safe installation.

When correctly installed standoff system hardware creates a sign that is appealing, sturdy and visible to all customers.
