With that in mind, we\u2019ve come up with some tips and tricks on how to hang <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/acrylic\">acrylic<\/a> signs.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1482101711228-1d205746bb02?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=1000&amp;q=80\" alt=\"how to hang acrylic signs \" width=\"1000\" height=\"674\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>How to hang acrylic signs with standoff bolts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Figure out the best location. Before figuring out how to hang acrylic signs, you first need to figure out <em>where <\/em>you want to hang it. Choose locations that are easy to spot and well lit. You also want to make sure the walls are in good condition and ready to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/acrylic\">acrylic<\/a> signs\u2014or any signage, for that matter\u2014mounted.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure it\u2019s level. Before you start drilling any holes into the wall, position the sign on the wall (if it\u2019s large get someone to help) and use a level to make sure the sides are even.<\/p>\n<p>Mark the drill points. Use a pencil to mark where you will be drilling into the wall. Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/acrylic\">acrylic<\/a> signs come with pre-drilled holes where the standoff screws will be used to secure the sign to the wall. There should be four marks on the wall in each corner.<\/p>\n<p>Drill the anchors into the wall. At each mark, use a drill to place each anchor, making sure they&#8217;re flush against the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Separate the standoff cover and bolt. Remove the cover plate from the standoff cover by unscrewing the piece and putting it in a safe place. Then take the base (the hollow section) of the standoff cover and insert a wall screw into each standoff for installation.<\/p>\n<p>Screw the standoff base into each hole. Drill the base into each hold, making sure that base is securely in the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Align your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/acrylic\">acrylic<\/a> sign. Line up the sign with the bolts in the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Install the standoff caps. Place a washer on each standoff cap and screw each cap into the four bases. Don\u2019t tighten too much, though, as it can damage the hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Level again. Place your level on the sign to make sure it is straight on the wall.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to hang acrylic signs without drilling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to make holes in your walls\u2014and the acrylic sign isn\u2019t that large\u2014you could use Command strips to hang your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/acrylic\">acrylic<\/a> signs. If the signs are heavier, you can utilize Command hooks. Durable double-sided tape could also work, although it will probably take off some paint when taken off the wall. Just be sure to test any of these methods out to make sure they can hold your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/acrylic\">acrylic<\/a> signs securely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acrylic signs are a valuable tool for businesses.
