Many people probably haven't heard of a sign standoff. Nonetheless, they have likely seen dozens. Standoffs are a simple, modest, and professional way to display signs. They literally help a mounted object "stand off" the wall.
To better understand their advantages, one must understand what standoffs do. Simply stated, standoffs are a type of hanger; they mount a sign to a vertical face. Basically, they are spacers which help mount a flat object, typically a sign, a uniform distance away from a wall. Usually, standoffs are cylindrical because this allows for a symmetrical presentation of the finished product. They are available in a variety of sizes, colors, finishes, and can be made from an assortment of materials. Some companies will even make them to a customer's specifications thereby helping the business customer create a unique sign presentation.
Standoffs are a simple and affordable way to create a professional appearance for the customer's first impression of a business.
Simple
In most cases, hanging a sign with standoffs is a job most anyone can do with the right tools and a little patience. However, a third party installation professional may be necessary depending on the specific sign, size, and situation. Standoffs elegantly display the sign without detracting attention from the sign itself.
Affordable
On the low end, standoffs can be found for less than two dollars per unit, or about eight dollars per set of four. Of course, prices vary and are determined by factors such as size, quantity, material, and brand. From reputable online providers to home improvement warehouses, sign standoffs are widely available and can be purchased at reasonable prices.
Professional
Business owners, managers, and corporate entities desire to present all aspects of their business in a respectable and professional manner. Signs help businesses and organizations be recognized by customers, clients, and competition. Therefore, the presentation of the signs is vitally important. Standoffs are not just holding a sign, they are making a statement.
Not every professional enhancement to a business or organization is simple or affordable. Sign standoffs gracefully present to customers the first impression of a business, its sign.
