    Can a none recommend a good self tensioning backlit flex face system,
    It’s to be ceiling mounted so needs to be self tensioning to take slack with the temp fluxuations , I’ve seen on before but can’t remover the manufacturer.

    ive used the signcomp tensioning system many times. very easy to use/install.
    we used to buy it years ago via SignBaseUK but they no longer exist.

    the frame comes pre-made with printed skin and all tension clips in place.
    or
    you can buy the extrusions and parts in as a kit.

    because its done as clips. you can easily work creases out by tensioning areas were a wrunkle is appearing. that said, i think i have had one wrunkle in the face in all the years we used them. and it was tensioned out in a few minutes.

    the sign systems we did were illuminated and non-illuminated.
    we even had large flat cut logos fixed thru the skin onto a levitated section behind the skin. these signs are all still up and never had a single problem
    in the past 5-6 years.

    the signs varied from 15ft wide x 7.5ft deep up to 30ft wide x 15ft deep, single face skins.

    Universal was promoting the same system a couple of years back at signuk and also done them in wood and powder coat finishes.
