Neon signs are a fantastic way to elevate your space, adding a vibrant, eye-catching element to any business.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to install your neon sign using the NeonCow Display Kit, but we’ll also show you how the hanging chain can be used if you prefer a more flexible approach.
What's Included in Every NeonCow Order?
At NeonCow, we believe in giving you the flexibility to install your neon sign the way that best suits your space. That's why every order includes both of the following installation options:
-
Display Kit
- Chrome stand-offs – Four polished standoffs for sleek wall mounting.
- Wall plugs – For secure installation on drywalls or masonry.
- Screws – Four screws to hold your sign securely on the wall.
Each sign also comes with four pre-drilled holes in the corners, designed for seamless installation using this kit.
-
Hanging Chain
- Two hooks – One on each side of the chain.
- Latching system – The chain simply latches onto the pre-drilled holes, allowing your sign to hang from ceilings, hooks, or other surfaces.
Both options offer easy installation, allowing you to choose the best method for your business.
Why Choose the Display Kit?
The Display Kit is ideal for businesses that want a clean, professional look. The chrome stand-offs allow the sign to sit slightly away from the wall, giving it a modern, floating effect. This method is perfect for businesses like:
-
Boutique Retail Stores
High-end stores typically go for a polished, curated aesthetic. The Display Kit offers a sleek and permanent solution that blends effortlessly into chic interiors. -
Modern Cafés & Restaurants
If your space features minimalistic or contemporary design elements, mounting your neon sign using the stand-offs keeps everything tidy and cohesive. The sign will become a subtle but eye-catching fixture rather than a hanging decoration. -
Corporate Offices or Studios
In more formal environments such as offices or studios, a wall-mounted neon sign looks more integrated and intentional. The chrome stand-offs enhance professionalism, making your neon sign a refined centrepiece.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide: Using the Display Kit
Installing your neon sign using the Display Kit is simple. Here’s how to do it:
Tools You’ll Need:
- Drill
- Pencil for marking
- Level (for straight alignment)
- Phillips head screwdriver
Step 1: Mark the Placement
Hold the sign up to the desired spot and use a pencil to mark through the pre-drilled holes. Make sure the sign is level!
Step 2: Drill Holes
Using the correct drill bit for your wall type, drill holes at the marked spots. If you're installing on drywall or masonry, insert the wall plugs provided.
Step 3: Install the Chrome Stand-Offs
Place the screws through the chrome stand-offs and secure them into the wall plugs. Ensure the stand-offs are fastened tightly, but don’t overtighten as this could damage the surface or the sign.
Step 4: Mount the Neon Sign
Align the pre-drilled holes in your sign with the stand-offs and attach the sign. Fasten the caps provided with the stand-offs to secure your neon sign in place.
Step 5: Plug It In
Once the sign is mounted, plug it into a nearby outlet. Admire your newly installed neon sign, mounted with a professional finish!
Hanging Chain Option: Flexibility for Any Space
While the Display Kit provides a polished, permanent installation, the hanging chain included in every order gives you a more versatile option. Simply attach the hooks to the pre-drilled holes and hang the sign from any surface such as a beam, rod, or hook.
This option is ideal for:
- Pop-up shops or temporary installations, where you may need to move the sign frequently.
- Casual bars or eateries that prefer a more laid-back, industrial look.
- Businesses that want the flexibility to reposition their neon sign without drilling into walls.
Conclusion
Whether you choose to install your neon sign using our premium Display Kit for a professional, sleek look or opt for the hanging chain for more flexibility, we’ve got you covered. With both options included in every NeonCow order, you can easily tailor your neon sign installation to suit your space and style.
