Profile letters have become an integral part of modern architecture, advertising and façade design. Whether as a bright highlight on the façade or as a discreet orientation element in the interior – they look high-quality, individual and professional. However, for them to achieve their full effect, it is not only the design that is decisive, but also the correct installation. Depending on the surface, area of application and desired look, there are various mounting options. Here we present the most common and proven options.
Flexible and robust: installation on profile substructure
Mounting on a profile substructure provides a great deal of flexibility. Square or round tubes as well as U or L profiles are used here, usually made of coated aluminium or stainless steel. This solution is ideal for uneven façades, large lettering systems or if a certain distance from the substrate is required.
Advantages:
✔ High load-bearing capacity
✔ Adaptation to different substrates
✔ Technically and visually versatile
✔ Easy disassembly and reassembly when relocating
Permanent hold: fixing bolt with mounting or drilling template
If you are looking for stability and durability, use fixing bolts. Here, threaded bolts are attached to the back of the letters, which are fixed precisely to the substrate using a precisely fitting mounting or drilling template. This method guarantees a secure hold – even with larger profile letters or in outdoor areas.
Advantages:
✔ Very stable connection
Suitable for outdoor areas
✔ Perfect positioning thanks to template
Complete system: Mounting on carrier plates
A particularly elegant and practical option is pre-assembly on carrier panels such as aluminium or composite panel cassettes. These complete systems can be delivered and installed as finished modules – ideal for projects with a high degree of prefabrication or when a clean, plannable realisation is required.
Advantages:
✔ Simple final assembly
✔ Professional optics
✔ Perfect for series production or modular systems
The quick temporary solution: double-sided adhesive tape on the back
The double-sided adhesive tape applied to the back offers a particularly simple and clean method of attachment. This variant is particularly suitable for smooth, clean indoor surfaces. It scores points for its quick installation without drilling or screws and is ideal for temporary installations or projects where no mechanical fastening is required.
Advantages:
✔ Clean look without visible fastening
✔ Quick assembly
✔ No tools required
Conclusion: The right solution for every project
The choice of the right mounting method for profile letters depends on many factors – from the size of the letters and the substrate to aesthetic and technical requirements. The good news is that almost any requirement can be realised flexibly and professionally thanks to the versatile mounting options.
