Product description

With this set of oval spacers, you can mount milled letters and logos onto the wall completely out of sight. The two-part click system lets your letters float away from the wall, without a single screw coming into view.

  • Complete: 25 male parts, 25 female parts, 25 stainless steel screws, 25 wall plugs and a torx bit
  • Oval shape: often used for tricky walls and surfaces that are hard to mount to, such as exposed aggregate concrete panels and the like. If the hole has been drilled slightly out of position, you can correct it with these
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  • Black, stays out of sight behind your lettering
  • All you need is a cordless drill

You glue the male part to the back of your letter and screw the female part into the wall. Click and done. Use the set for your company name on the façade, a logo behind the counter or a sign on an outside wall.

Specifications

The male parts are made from acrylic and the female parts from PVC. The oval shape spreads the load over a larger surface than a round spacer, which helps on uneven surfaces, and stops the spacer from turning during mounting.

The complete set weighs 198 grams and fits in packaging measuring 130 x 80 x 45 mm.

 

Processing options for blind spacers

These spacers are ready to use – you don't need to process them at all.

What does matter: tighten the screw in the female part hand-tight and then back it off a quarter turn. You need that little bit of play so you can click the male part smoothly into the female part and to allow for small alignment differences between your mounting points. If you tighten everything up rock solid, you won't be able to fit the letter on without tension.

 

Applications of blind spacers

Anywhere you want to mount letters, logos or signs without visible fixings. The oval shape makes them especially suitable for older façades, rendered walls and rough brickwork, where a round spacer is more likely to come loose.

Main areas of use:

  • Façade lettering — company names, shop name signs, large-format house numbers and signs with a floating 3D effect
  • Interior — logos behind reception, wall signs in showrooms, name plates on office doors and wayfinding
  • Retail and events — exhibition stands, promotional boards and brand displays, quick to fit and click back off
  • Public buildings — department signs, wayfinding in hospitals and schools, project boards on building sites

Fitting blind standoffs

1

Mark the positions on your letter

Lay the letter face down. Place a mark no more than 2 to 3 cm from every outer edge or corner, and space the remaining marks so that you have a point every 15 to 20 cm. Allow 3 to 4 standoffs per letter up to 25 x 30 cm, and 5 to 6 for larger sizes.
2

Degrease and bond the pins

Peel the film off the back and leave the film on the front. Degrease the marks with Fixxerss IPA Bonding Cleaner and let them dry for 5 minutes. Bond a pin onto each mark, press it down squarely for 15 seconds and leave it to cure for 24 hours.
3

Make a drilling template

Place the letter pin-side down, flat on a sheet of cardboard, and press firmly. The imprints are your drilling points. Trim the template to size and write on it which letter it belongs to.
4

Fix the template level on the wall

Decide on the height, for example 150 cm from the floor to the bottom of the letters. Tape the template up, hold a spirit level against it and step back a few metres to judge the overall look. Punch through the drilling points.
5

Drill and insert the wall plugs

Drill squarely at low speed with a 6 mm masonry bit, with the depth stop set to the plug length plus 5 mm. Vacuum the dust out of the holes and tap the plugs in flush with the wall.
6

Screw on the wall sockets

Hand-tighten each socket with the stainless steel screw supplied, then back it off a quarter turn. You need that play so the pin clicks in smoothly and to take up small alignment differences. Use a straightedge to check that all the sockets project by the same amount.
7

Click the letters into place

Hold the letter by its sides, film still on the front. Line the pins up over the sockets and push them home one by one until you feel the click. Then peel the film off slowly and at a sharp angle, because pulling it fast charges the surface with static and that attracts dust.
Tips for a perfect result

Mount outside in dry weather. On an unfamiliar surface, test with one letter first before you tackle the whole façade. And hold on to your template for a while, in case you want to add to it later.

Maintenance and cleaning

Remove dust and dirt with an antistatic polishing cloth and, if needed, a little lukewarm water with a mild cleaner. Never use a pressure washer on mounted letters: it can force the glue bond or the click loose.

For outdoor installations, we recommend a quick check once a year. Is every letter still firmly in place, are there any cracks at the glue points, is dirt or moisture building up behind the letters? You can simply click a letter off, inspect it and put it back. You'll find more cleaning products in our accessories.

Combining with other products

For an installation that lasts for years, work in three steps: clean, glue, finish.

CleaningFixxerss IPA Bonding Cleaner removes grease and dust and dries residue-free. This isn't an optional step; it's the difference between a glue bond that holds and one that comes away after a winter.

Gluing — Use Fixxerss Super Glue Professional for acrylic and polycarbonate, or Fixxerss double-sided tape for light interior letters on a smooth surface or temporary displays.

Finishing — the antistatic polishing cloth keeps your letters dust-free without scratches, and also helps when applying the cleaner.
