How to Mount Metal Letters for Signs: Options and Considerations

Signs in a Minute

When it comes to mounting metal letters for signs, Signs in a Minute offers various options to suit different preferences and needs. These mounting options play a crucial role in how the metal letters are attached to a wall or other surfaces, ensuring a secure and aesthetically pleasing display. Here are the available mounting options for metal letters sold by Signs in a Minute:


Plain Mount:

  • This is the most basic mounting option. Metal letters are provided without any accompanying mounting hardware.
  • To install these letters, you will need to create holes on the back of the letters yourself. The precise placement and size of the holes may depend on the specific metal finish of the letters.
  • This option gives you the flexibility to choose your own mounting method and allows for a custom approach to the installation.

Stud Mount:

  • In this option, the backs of the metal letters and logos should be at least 1/4” thick.
  • Letters are drilled and tapped to receive threaded studs, which can be used to securely attach them to a wall or other surfaces.
  • Stud mounting provides a sturdy and reliable attachment, ensuring that the letters stay in place even in adverse weather conditions.

Welded Stud Mount:

  • For this option, the backs of the metal letters and logos are typically 1/8” thick.
  • Instead of drilling and tapping for threaded studs, these letters are supplied with welded stud bosses.
  • Alternatively, 1” long welded studs can be provided to facilitate mounting to a wall. The welding ensures a strong and permanent connection between the letters and the studs.

Double Face Tape Mount:

  • For a more discreet and seamless mounting option, metal letters and logos come with strips of clear double-face tape applied to the backs.
  • This method is simple and clean, as it eliminates the need for visible hardware or holes on the letters.
  • Double-face tape is a strong adhesive that can hold the letters securely in place, but it's essential to ensure that the mounting surface is clean and smooth for proper adhesion.

Each of these mounting options has its advantages and considerations, and the choice depends on your specific requirements and preferences. Whether you prioritize aesthetics, ease of installation, or long-term durability, Signs in a Minute provides options to help you achieve the desired look and functionality for your metal letter signs.
