Product description

With this set of round spacers you can mount milled letters and logos to the wall completely out of sight. The two-part click system lets your letters float away from the wall, without a single screw on show.

  • Complete: 10 male parts, 10 female parts, 10 stainless steel screws, 10 plugs and a torx bit
  • Round shape: compact and discreet, ideal for smooth, flat surfaces
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  • White, disappearing behind light letters and on light surfaces
  • 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 an advertising board on an exterior wall.

Specifications

The spacers are made of nylon and come with stainless steel screws. The round shape is the compact standard: it takes up little room behind your letter, so you can fit it into narrow letter sections too, such as the stem of an 'I' or the thin stroke of an 'S'.

Choose the white version when your letters are light in colour or go on a light façade or wall. If you can see the fixing through a transparent or light letter, white stands out far less than black. This combination — round and white — is therefore the most discreet in the range, and the logical choice for smart indoor work in acrylic.

Processing options for blind spacers

These spacers are ready to use, so you don't need to process them.

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

With the round version, hold the female part steady while you do the final turn. A round holder can turn along with the screw, and then it's no longer on the point you marked.

 

Applications for blind spacers

Anywhere you want to mount letters, logos or boards without a visible fixing. The round shape is the logical choice for smart, modern lettering on a flat surface, and its compact size means it fits into narrow letter sections too. In white it disappears completely behind light lettering.

Main areas of use

  • Interior — logos behind the reception, wall signs in showrooms, name plates on office doors and wayfinding on light walls
  • Transparent lettering — letters in clear acrylic, where you look through the material at the fixing
  • Façade lettering — company names, shop name boards and house numbers in large format on a light, flat façade
  • Retail and events — exhibition stands, promotional boards and brand displays, quick to put together and click apart again

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 outdoors in dry weather. On an unfamiliar surface, test with one letter first before doing the whole façade. Keep the white holders clean during mounting: drill dust and dirty hands simply show up faster on white than on black. For a complete company name, work from the middle outwards, so small deviations don't build up towards one side. And hang on to your template for a while, in case you want to expand later.

Maintenance and cleaning

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

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

Combining with other products

For a mount that lasts for years, work in three steps: clean, glue, finish.

Cleaning Fixxerss IPA Bonding Cleaner removes grease, dust and other dirt from your surfaces and dries residue-free. Use it on both the back of your letters and on the male parts. This isn't an optional step; it's the difference between a glue joint that holds and one that lets go after a winter.

Gluing — For acrylic and polycarbonate, reach for the Fixxerss Super Glue. Fixxerss Foamtape works well for light indoor letters on a smooth surface or for temporary displays, and it's also handy for fixing a letter in place while you mark out the drill holes.

Finishing — the antistatic polishing cloth keeps your letters dust-free without scratches. The antistatic action stops dust from clinging, which is a particular issue with plastic letters that build up static. Also perfect for applying the IPA Bonding Cleaner.
