Mounting office signs and office directory signs properly will save you time and money. Whether installing an office sign in a business suite or an office directory sign on a college campus, the following tips will help ease the decision process given the variety of mounting surfaces available.
The most popular mounting options are:
- Mounting Holes
- Foam Tape
- Very High Bond Tape
- Velcro
- Cubicle Pins
Mounting Holes
Commonly used for office directory signs or larger office signs, mounting holes provide a permanent solution and is suitable for most hard surfaces. They’re relatively vandal-proof yet are easily removed using the proper tools. The wall surface can typically be patched or painted to its original condition.
Foam Tape
Industrial strength, double-sided white foam tape is great for most office signs, such as the WFFP3U, and is suitable for most hard surfaces including walls, doors and glass. If your surface is rough, porous or uneven, your office sign may not have a secure bond and should therefore consider one of the other mounting methods. Foam tape is semi-permanent.
VHB (Very High Bond) Tape
VHB tape is a double-sided, high-bond permanent tape. It is used for smaller office directory sign frames along with most office sign frames creating a secure bond on doors, walls and glass. Removal can cause damage to the mounting surface if not done using the proper tools.
Velcro
Velcro is ideal if you need to move your room office signs or office directory signs due to construction or related floor plan changes.
Cubicle Pins
Great for cloth surfaces such as cubicle walls, cubicle pins are the least permanent mounting option and are perfectly suited for small office sign frames.
