In the world of modern signage, acrylic signs stand out for their clarity, versatility, and contemporary appeal. But what truly elevates them from ordinary displays to professional, eye-catching installations? The answer lies in standoffs – those sleek hardware solutions that create a floating effect, adding depth and sophistication to any space. At Nova Display, our standoff systems are designed to not only secure your acrylic signs but also enhance their aesthetic impact, making them ideal for offices, retail environments, museums, and more.
The Floating Illusion: Transforming Acrylic Signs with Precision
Imagine transforming a simple acrylic panel into a dynamic focal point that captivates viewers with its modern elegance and three-dimensional presence. Our standoffs achieve this by mounting signs away from the wall using a precise three-part fitting system—consisting of a spacer/barrel, wall anchor, and front screw-cap—that elevates the panel at varying distances, typically from 5/8″ (16mm) to 3″ (75mm), casting subtle shadows that emphasize the design and add visual depth. This “floating” illusion not only draws attention to your message but also provides sturdy support against everyday wear, ensuring longevity with load capacities up to 25 lb per fixing point and a lifespan exceeding 10 years. Crafted from premium materials like anodized aluminum for lightweight durability, brass for an elegant plated finish, or stainless steel (grades SS201, SS304, SS316) for superior corrosion resistance in indoor or outdoor settings, these standoffs come in diameters ranging from 1/2″ (12mm) to 1-1/2″ (38mm) to suit various panel thicknesses up to 3/4″ (20mm).

Installation is straightforward: drill precise holes in the acrylic (or opt for no-drill edge-grip models), secure the base to the wall with anchors, and tighten the cap—often with protective vinyl washers to prevent scratches—creating a secure, tamper-proof hold ideal for high-traffic areas. This modular design allows for customizable configurations, such as multi-panel setups or projecting angles, turning flat signage into a standout, professional masterpiece that enhances any environment while promoting sustainability through reusable, recyclable components.
