Choose the appropriate size.

How to get the best value when purchasing standoffs

If the quality of the standoffs is insufficient to last for the intended time, they will need to be replaced, making them a very expensive incorrect choice. Pizazz was contacted by a hotel in Cancun, Mexico, about a problem with the standoffs they had chosen. The hotel had 800 guest rooms, each with 4 images displayed between 2 panels fixed to the wall with 4 standoffs and a total of 12,800 standoffs. They had chosen the cheapest standoffs based on price, but those standoffs were corroding. The hotel had to purchase replacement durable standoffs and pay for the work involved in replacing the corroded ones.Choosing a cheap price can result in an expensive decision.

How to hide your standoffs

The air bridge within the complex features a display facility consisting of black aluminium frames and punched metal panels. This facility is used to showcase 36 large images focusing on current topics of interest.Creative Production Services Pty Limited supplied and installed Crown Casino’s images, which were mounted on white ACM panels. CEO Keith Courtney wanted to secure the white panels to the black punched metal backgrounds with colour-coordinated standoffs—a white front screw matching the ACM panels and a matt black spacer matching the punched metal.

How to give your displays maximum visual impact

When selecting the location for your image, the first criterion is to ensure that it has sufficient light to achieve maximum visual impact. Make your image the sole focus of attention in its location. When selecting the location, consider anything in the immediate vicinity that would compete for visual attention, and relocate it to eliminate that competition. Some colours go well together, and some do not. Your image will look its best when the colour of the wall behind it is from the same colour family as your image. If that is not possible, a neutral coloured back wall, such as white, silver grey, or black, is the next best option.

How Multimounts solved a serious problem

A large international magazine publisher engaged a designer to upgrade their Auckland offices. Their design included displaying large copies of their current magazine covers, each held between two panels of acrylic, up on the walls in their entry foyer and reception area. The panels were secured with Pizazz’s two-part standoffs, Monomounts. The back panel was clear acrylic, and the slightly larger back panel was frosted acrylic, which created a subtle border around the cover images.

Why Denver Water selected Pizazz Monomounts for their reception displays

Denver Water operates a substantial system of facilities and infrastructure to deliver water to millions of people in the city of Denver and its many surrounding suburbs in Colorado, USA. Because the reservoirs and treatment plants are in distant, remote locations and the extensive pipeline and tunnel network is located underground. Denver Water customers have little awareness of what it takes to deliver the high quality water that they enjoy.
