Bullnose Panel Trim Kit (Frame Only)

The kit includes all four sides pre-drilled & mitred, the corner cleats set into the side pieces, and fixing screws & plugs so that all you have to do is fix it to the wall.

We manufacture the kit to the size you specify, i.e. the outer size so please remember that the viewable size will be 70mm less in each direction.

If your sign is less than say 400mm deep or larger if it's going inside, you may want to consider our Small PanelTrim which has a slimmer profile. Equally, if your panel is very deep or located in a windy situation, you should probably think about our Large PanelTrim framing because it has a cover face of 45mm. 

It is best practice to suspend the panel from the top rail by means of a 'hanger strip' so that the panel will always hang straight & flat.

If you just stand the panel in the bottom rail there is a danger that it may become distorted due to its own weight, particularly in the summer when the panel can get very hot & lose its rigidity. This sort of problem is more likely when the panel is Acrylic or Foam PVC, but even if you're using ACM, it's still better to use hanger strips because then the bottom of the panel doesn't get stuck in the build-up of dirt in the bottom frame, making them easier to get them in & out in the future.

We stock Anodised Silver, and powder coated Black and White, or we can powder coat to your specific colour.

TIPS   

1. Remember that the panel needs to be loose enough to allow it to expand in the summer & contract in the winter without it becoming trapped & then distorted so we suggest that your panel be 15mm less than the overall frame size and that you notch the corners as shown to prevent the panel catching on the cleats in the corners.
2. If your sign is made up of more than one panel you really should 'half lap' the joint and fit anti-flex plates and 'Panel Locks' at the top. This is to keep the panels tight together at all times, which looks better and also prevents the wind from getting behind the panels, which can risk blowouts.

A run of grease along the hanger strip & on the frame where it touches the panel makes it easier to get in & out in the future.
