Question
What panel thickness works best with standoffs?
Answer
Standoff hardware is designed to grip a range of panel thicknesses, so match the panel to the look and rigidity you want. Most standoffs handle panels between 1/8 inch and 1/2 inch thick.
| Panel | Typical thickness |
|---|---|
| Acrylic sign | 3/16" or 1/4" for a good balance of rigidity and weight |
| Dibond / aluminum composite | 3mm (about 1/8"), works with standard hardware |
| Standoff range | 1/8" to 1/2" |
- Thicker acrylic resists flex and gives a more substantial, upscale feel.
- Dibond panels mount with standard standoff hardware without modification.
