FlexFace Sign Sign System, which do you use?
Thought I would start this post to try and gather some new sources for flex face sign systems.
I have used several Flex-Face over the years… some I liked, some I did not.
I think the one I found easiest to use/install was one I bought via SignbaseUK which later went bust.
The flexface system they used is now supplied by Universal, who I now source it through as well as other products.
Anyway, we do some regular large signs, 8’x16’ and 10’x20’ and larger, and I am always looking for better, faster or easier systems to use.
I now also have requests for large interior signs which again will require a tensioning system.
So my question is…
“If you know of or have tried a flexface system, interior or exterior, please reply giving a link to the website or upload a pdf Etc for reference.
adding your opinion on the products would also be great if you have used them, if not that is fine too.
If nothing else this will create a useful topic/thread for those looking for a flexface system in future.
Thanks in advance for anyone contributing to this thread. -

Morning Robert
I Don’t do a lot of external flex face anymore, it seems to be dying out a bit and being replaced with L.E.D boxes/DTM acrylic fronts.
Internally, however, I have been using fabric-faced systems for a few years now.
Very simple and quick to install, and changing graphics is a breeze.
I use a company called UIS based in Colchester
http://www.uis.uk.com
If enquiring, ask for Austin, he is the Director and pretty much invented the system.
There are many profiles and setups to choose from, including wall-mounted and free-standing.Hope this helps :thumbup2:

Thank you Iain, I will take a look at those…
Kev, The Nova one looks very similar to one we had many moons ago by Kestral Signs, do you know if that’s the same system? Only difference from memory was i think Kestral had tensioning springs that hooked the rod. Where as the Nova has a screw that looks like you turn to create tension on the skin?
Thanks Derek, you reminded me of the Crystal one mate. I will have to have another look at that one too…

Rob, don’t know but had never done a flex-faced system until using this one and it was a doddle.
Slip the rod through and into the bracket clip on the adjuster and wizz in with the drill driver.
All done late one evening in dying light.

Will see if I can find a pic
