Screw Through Vinyl
Screw Through Vinyl SCREW THROUGH FACE / VINYL GUIDANCE The reective vinyl manufacturer recommends using at least 1, (preferably 2), nylon washers between the reective vinyl surface and the mounting bolt head. (see Fig. 1). The 2 nylon washers should slip on each other as opposed to slipping on the surface of the sign, preventing it from cutting into the laminate.

Installing the hardware doesn’t need to be aggressively tight and shall follow structural engineering requirements.

Caution: If the contractor / installer over-torques or provides too much force when installing the fastener, the laminate will not hold up to that treatment (see Fig. 2 / Fig. 3).

The vinyl manufacturer has stated, in regards to the warranty, it does not cover this type of damage (cracking, bubbling, peeling) caused by improper installation. The compromised laminate can allow moisture to penetrate and prematurely degrade the print.  The extent of this will depend on the type of installation damage that occurred.  There is no way to repair this damage after installation.

Additional Consideration: Punching a hole in the vinyl (see Fig. 4), may provide less vinyl for the washer/bolt to torque on, therefore reducing the possibility of damage.

Contractors Responsibility: The sign contractor shall always con rm the
proper methods, sequencing and materials to be used for the installation with the vinyl manufacturer, to avoid voiding any warranties associated with the vinyl products. The sign contractor shall be responsible for replacing all vinyl sheeting damaged do to not following the manufacturers instructions.
