  Sign Trim/Frames advice.

  Posted by David Hammond on 11 July 2011 at 13:42

  I really like sign trim jobs. They look tidier than a bit of composite screwed to a wall.

  I have job now that is going on a corrugated cladded building, so I am hoping to make up a frame, attach that to the cladding, then insert the composite sign.

  I have no experience of trims/frames. I have made up a mock in the shop of a pro frame, suspending a piece of foam board in it. But I am planning on using composite for this job.

  Any brands/suppliers and suggestions welcome.

  I have spoken to Blackburn’s but they will only sell me it in bulk, and suggested Nova Trim to me?

  Why not just make a box David, all you’ll need to get in would be ally angle 😀

  I think Fred might be onto something. We’re a little tight on space installing, so from an installation point it would be quicker and easier to get the angle up, then a sign tray. I don’t fancy balancing on a ladder with a frame, or trying to put a frame together on the building.

  I’ll get yet another quote for a sign tray (yet to order one though) from E-Thorne.
