Question
How far from the wall should standoff signs be mounted?
Answer
Standard standoff barrels create a gap somewhere between 1/2 inch and 2 inches. The right depth depends on the effect you want and where the sign hangs.
| Setting | Common gap | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Indoor lobby signs | 3/4 inch to 1 inch | Enough depth for a visible shadow without looking like it juts out |
| Outdoor signs | Around 1/2 inch | Shorter standoffs reduce wind resistance |
