  • Small sign frame material?

    Posted by Neil Speirs on July 15, 2010 at 1:40 pm

    Got a customer looking for some small signs (12"x10") and they would like them in ally frames. Could anyone recommend a small profile trim suitable for this job & who supplies it. never done any signs with frames before so not sure whats best 😕

    Just had a look at the RH website and found it useless unless you know exactly what your after, also phoned Alutrade who are sticking some samples in the post for me, anyone else I should be trying?

    speak to Cameron at RHG. they sell "mini-trim" i do not know the exact name for it but always bought it through europoint and went by mini-trim. its basically the same as panatrim but much smaller profile. we use it for lots of bits and peacies. anyway, you cauld call and ask for it and it maybe the same name as it was then… comes in a 16ft length "i think"

    Got to give a big :thumbsup: to Andy @ Alutrade for helping me out with my first job involving a sign frame, had samples sent out to me within 24hrs & fabricated a small sample frame for my customer FOC, now that’s what I call a good service & what gets my future business (!)

    Still waiting for Cameron’s (RH) promised return phone call on Mon morning 🙁
