General
A variety of mounting methods are available for etched plaques depending on the application.
Copper Development Association C11000 Standard sized sheet
48″ x 96″
Threaded studs are recommended for concealed mounting to solid walls. Bonding cement or silicone adhesive secures the studs within the drilled holes. Standard length for threaded studs is 1-1/2″. Custom lengths are available.
If the etched plaque is 1/4″ or thicker, the back of the etching is drilled and tapped. If the plaque is less than 1/4″ thick, studs are spot-welded on the back. Studs not recommended on material 1/16″ thick or less due to “dimpling” on the etching face.
Silicone adhesive may be provided if specified for etched plaques. This is an effective mounting method for etched plaques, although is best when combined with double-faced tape.
Any etched plaque can be provided with holes through the face for mechanical fasteners if requested. Please specify type of fastener, location and size of holes, and whether or not the holes must be countersunk. Hardware can be provided upon request. Specify screw type, material, size, length, head style and finish.
