Step-by-step instructions
Prepare your board and hardware
Keep the board supported on a clean, soft surface. Remove the protective film immediately before installation, or leave it on until mounting is complete where practical.
Mark the mounting holes
Choose the board’s position, use a level to keep it straight, and mark the hole locations with a pencil. Keep the acrylic from rubbing against the wall.
Drill the marked holes
Use the drill bit appropriate for your anchors. Refer to the size guide below and the instructions supplied with your anchors.
Install the anchors
Insert the anchors into the holes according to the anchor instructions. Use anchors appropriate for your wall and board.
Attach the standoff bases
Screw the bottom portion of each standoff into its wall anchor. Take care not to damage the threads; the caps need to screw on smoothly.
Attach the board and caps
Support the board, align its holes with the standoff bases, and screw on each cap. Keep the acrylic from scraping against the hardware.
