Focus on Sign Fixings
Created a beautiful sign for a client? Then you’ll more than likely need something to securely attach this to a post, wall, or ceiling. Enter a whole variety of sign fixings. These take many forms such as clips, standoffs, and concealed systems. Opening our look at the latest products in this market is Paul Farrant, director at FK Moore.
At the forefront F
ixings are at the forefront of sign industries. An experienced fitter will know
the best fixing to use from the outset, however on occasion the fixing decision could be overlooked, and the customer may require assistance. A professional fixing supplier can use analytical thinking and expertise to find the appropriate solution for the project.
At FK Moore we can also offer a bespoke service to supply a custom solution suited to a particular specification. We would always suggest that when planning your signage, it is advantageous to know how you would like to fix the sign from the beginning. Although this would be most helpful in an ideal world, we are fully aware
that occasionally a customer might require steering towards a particular product that we feel may be better suited to their requirements.
A wide and comprehensive range starts with the sign locator fixing, a mechanical fitting. This traditional fixing is easily installed, discrete, an extremely durable and reliable product for use internally or on external signage. There are several types, sizes, and styles of this fixing available to be used on a variety of materials (including wood, perspex, or metal signs), allowing complete flexibility.

Sign hangers for suspending signs from heights are mostly used in a retail setting or for safety signs. Available in a wide variety of options such as a cable hanger with a choice of bullet or snap hook ceiling fixing, or traditional strap hanger and wire hangers. We also offer Cable display systems that are used for hanging panelled displays floor to ceiling.

Brass wall fixing stand-offs
can be used on both large and smaller work with matching caps to complete a streamlined look. These are both contemporary and elegant in style when used with signage. The increasingly popular three-part fixing that is also available in satin chrome on brass. These are applied in a comparable way to the wall fixing, but have an additional brass part that affixes to the wall first. These are an excellent choice for smaller applications as they have a finer thread, while the collar allows for the location to be set to the wall before applying the barrel. We also have the Panel clamp for the vertical or horizontal installation of panels. Externally and internally threaded cover heads are the ideal flush fitting to be used on wayfinding signs, smaller signs, or poster signs. These fixings are very versatile with lots of styles, sizes and finishes available to compliment any sign. The internally threaded range complements our stand-offs for a contemporary and streamlined look. These can be used with our range of brass spacers for the projection of smaller panels that mimic the look of a wall fixing stand-off. The internally threaded cover head is a two-part fixing ideally used with pozi-drive stainless steel screws which have become increasingly popular with fitters as they are extremely time effective.
