Lobby Signage

Lobby Signs sizes, details, etc.

All signs are 17" x whatever custom size.

They use 5/8" diameter x 3/4" long standoff support with flat caps. From Nova Display # WS015-3/4 AL. Set includes WSB-1520AL STandoff Barrell, SC-15 AL Flat Screw Cap and WB-TR coupling Anchor.

All signs are 1/8" plexiglass, poster, and 1/8' inch MDF, Luan, or masonite. Masonite is more flexible, so, it will warp with longer lengths. MDF is preferable.

All plexi and signs should be the same size, backing can be 1/8 to 1/4 smaller.

I cut the plexi, have the posters printed, then lay the plexi over the poster, center it, and use a flat knife (in my desk drawer) or Xacto to cut the poster around the edge of the plexi.

Then, I sandwiched the plexi, poster, and backing. The plexi will have a plastic or paper wrapping on it, so, I measured and marked 3/4" from the edge or each corner, and 3/4 from top or bottom (depending on how many standoffs we use. Drill 1/4" or slightly larger holes.

After the plexi has holes for the standoff screw holes, I take the plexi and use it as a template to draw guides for the screws on the wall. Use a level! The pieces are all 53 1/4" from the floor (so, the center of the screws, or guide holes is 54" from the ground).

Once the coupling anchors are screwed to the wall (where you just marked the screw holes), you can screw on the barrel.

Then, remove the paper/plastic sheathing from the plexi. Take care to blow off all dust, and you may want to use gloves or cloth to handle the plexi so you don't get fingerprints on it. Re-sandwich the plexi, image, and backing...put the screws in the top holes...take the piece to the wall, and lightly screw in the top screws. Before you tighten anything, you'll want to make sure all the caps are lined up and screwed slightly into the barrels. Once everything is in, tighten

Here are the sizes, so far (as of 9/613)- these sizes are approximate... for absolute measurements, you should measure the plexiglass.
