What is the Atelier Letter Board?
The Atelier Letter Board is a rail-based wall menu system for cafés, bakeries and restaurants. Rather than a single fixed panel, it's made up of ten individual aluminum rails that mount directly to the wall, so you set the spacing and overall height yourself. Each rail is 39.4″ (100 cm) wide, and the set includes 485 letters at 1″ (2.5 cm) high, in anodized black or brass.
What else is the Atelier Letter Board called?
The Atelier Letter Board is a type of changeable letter board, also known as a rail letter board, track letter board, or wall menu board. The letters slide into the rails rather than sitting on a magnetic face or slotting into a grooved felt panel — so lines are perfectly straight, and the rails themselves become part of the wall rather than sitting in a frame.
What is included with the Atelier Letter Board?
Each set includes 10 aluminum rails, 485 letters, numbers and symbols, all stainless steel fixings, and a spacer for setting the gap between rails. You'll need a drill, a level, and a second pair of hands.
Can I buy extra letters?
Yes. Extra kits of Atelier Letters are sold separately in both black and brass here.
How do you install the Atelier Letter Board?
The rails mount directly to the wall using the supplied stainless steel screws, which are designed for timber and drywall. The included spacer sets consistent gaps between rails, so you only need to level the first one. Allow 1 hour and a second person to hold the rails while you mark them.
Can you mount the Atelier Letter Board onto tile or brick?
Yes, but you'll need to source your own screws and wall plugs — the supplied stainless screws are for timber and drywall only. Our guide to drilling into wall tile covers the process step by step.
How far apart should the rails be spaced?
The included spacer sets the recommended gap. Because the rails mount individually, you can also space them further apart for a taller display, or group them into sections — for a food menu above and a drinks menu below, for example.
