Installation
How to Hang Your Sign Without Losing Your Mind (or Your Level)
We don't do installation ourselves these days - we just can't reach far enough... But we've got loads of experience from the last 40 years on the tools!
So, you’ve got your UK-made signs, and they look brilliant. Now comes the part where you actually have to put them on the wall. Don't worry, we’ve made this process so easy it’s almost therapeutic. Whether you’re a DIY natural or someone who usually ends up with more glue on your hands than the wall, we’re here to help.
Step 1: The "Where Does It Go?" Phase
Before you start sticking or drilling, take a step back. Is it at eye level? Can Simon from accounting see it without his glasses? Use our sizing guide to make sure you haven’t brought a toothpick to a sword fight.
Step 2: Clean Like You Mean It
If you’re using our Self-Adhesive Vinyl, the wall needs to be cleaner than a whistle. Dust and grease are the enemies of "staying put." Give the surface a quick wipe down—it takes ten seconds, and your future self will thank you.
Step 3: The "Spirit Level" Secret
Nothing says "I didn't plan ahead" like a wonky sign.
- For Vinyl: Peel back a tiny bit of the top, align it (use a level, seriously), and smooth it down as you go.
- For Rigid Plastic: Hold it up, mark your holes with a pencil, and double-check it’s straight before you commit to the drill.
Step 4: The Finishing Touch
Give it a firm press (for stickers) or a final tighten (for plastic). Step back, admire your handiwork, and feel that glow of being a safety-compliant hero. See? Easy.
Viking Pro-Tips for a Flawless Finish
- The Bubble Buster: If you get a tiny air bubble in your vinyl, don't panic. Just prick it with a pin and smooth it out. Engineering wizardry at its finest.
- No Drill? No Problem: For our rigid plastic signs, high-strength adhesive pads work like a charm on most indoor surfaces.
- Fast and Reliable: We know you needed these yesterday, which is why we focus on making the installation as quick as our delivery.
The Viking Vibe: We provide the quality signs; you provide the wall. Together, we’re making the UK a safer (and much more level) place.
