MOUNTING HARDWARE
While we do not do installation, we can provide recommended hardware for mounting ceiling and wall applications. We will support you throughout your project, providing resources and experience. In addition, we can provide shop drawings showing ways our panels have been installed.
WALL MOUNTING OPTIONS
We can provide the hardware to mount into a variety of materials such as sheet rock or concrete, interior or exterior.
Our wall mounting offerings vary from flush mount options of keyhole slots, 3-D effects of standoffs, to security options of T-Screws.
STANDOFFS
If you are wanting your panels to pop out from the wall, standoffs are a great option. A standoff is a piece of hardware with a barrel cap and wall screw and can be used for any size panel, in any thickness or weight.
With this method, the spacing between the wall and panel can vary, which allows the panel to be back lit or spot lit if desired.
INTERLOCKING BRACKETS / Z BRACKETS
Z Brackets installed at the top of your panels provide an extremely strong and stable installation on your panels. This method is ideal for larger or heavier panels.
VHB TAPE
For indoor use only, VHB (Very High Bond) Double-Stick Tape works on almost any surface, including textured walls. VHB Tape is suitable for 1/4” materials.
MAGNETS
Magnets can hold approximately five pounds each, and can be an option for 1/2” or thinner materials that need to be attached to steel frames.
T-SCREW SECURITY HANGERS
T-screws are specifically popular for mounting panels in public spaces. They provide additional hold and are able to secure the panels from unwanted movement or removal.
They are hidden behind the panel while providing a secure hold.
CEILING MOUNTING
We have several different ceiling mounting options depending on the drop height, panel size, and local code requirements. For all installations, we can talk with your contractor, architect, or engineer to answer questions and help determine an installation method.
SUPERSTRUT CHANNEL SYSTEM — One option for ceiling mounting 1/2” and 3/4” panels is using a super strut channel system, which is extremely strong. The superstrut channel has holes that are 2” apart and are bolted to the ceiling in as many places as necessary.
The length of the threaded rod sets the distance between the panel and the superstrut channel/ ceiling.
If you need space greater than six-inches, all-thread can extend the distance of 24”, after which aircraft cable can be used for any greater distance.
