Small Panel Trim Sign Kit (Frame Only)

Our Small Panel Trim has a cover face of only 20mm (which takes a 3mm panel) and is the slimmest frame in the range, - ideally suited to the smaller signs.

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.

Sizes

We manufacture the kit to the size you specify, i.e. the outer size so please remember that the viewable size will be 40mm less in each direction.

There are no hard & fast rules about the panel sizes, but we suggest that the small PanelTrim frames should be less than 1metre deep, and if your sign is going to be made up of more than one panel, it probably shouldn’t be deeper than 500mm.

Generally speaking, when using the small panel trim people usually let the panel sit on the bottom rail, rather than hanging from the top rail, but if you're fitting deep or multiple panels you can fit hanger strips as the illustrations below.

TIP:  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. Hence, we suggest that your panel be 10mm less than the overall frame size and that you notch the corners as shown to prevent the panel nipping in the corners.

Colours

We stock anodised silver, and powder-coated black and white, we can also powder coat to your specific colour.

 

Panel Locks

If your sign Is longer than a single panel, you should use a pair of panel locks to keep the panels together to ensure no gaps appear between the sheets.

 

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 10mm less than the overall frame size and that you notch the corners as shown to prevent the panel nipping 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 put '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.

Panel Trim sign frames are aluminium extrusion systems designed to hold and secure rigid sign panels. The main reasons for using a Panel Trim frame are that there are no face fixings spoiling the look of the sign and the panel hangs flat without any ‘cockles’ or dimples around the screws. Commonly used for outdoor and commercial applications, they ensure durability and a professional finish. 

The Panel Trim frame kits come complete with all the Rawlplugs, screws and corner cleats required for installation.

A frame is ‘value adding’ to your sign panel. The perceived value for your customer is higher than the actual cost, which increases your profit margin.

You’ll need a drill with the bit appropriate to your wall, a screwdriver and a level.

Panel Trim is very easy and quick to fit.

The frame comes as a complete kit with everything you need. The frames are pre drilled and come with the corner cleats already inserted. All you need to do is drill the wall, insert the supplied Rawlplugs and the screw the frame to the wall. Then slide your sign panel in and then fix the loose end in place.

Panel Trim frames are cut to size, we generally can dispatch the following day from ordering. If you have a deadline, call us on 01524 841726 to confirm the dispatch time for your order.

Yes, Panel Trim frames are available in standard finishes like anodized silver, black and white. Custom RAL colours can be ordered but this will add up to 10 days to the manufacturing time. 

If all the frames are the same size, the quantity discount is shown on the product page.

If the frames are different sizes, please call the office on 01524 841726 or email sales@tradesignz.com for a quote.

We offer several accessories, including:

• Hanger Strips: For additional support when mounting panels.

• Anti-Flex Plates: To prevent bowing of large panels in windy conditions.

• Panel Locks: To secure panels and prevent unauthorized removal.

Yes, we supply the extrusion in either 3 or 5 metre lengths and the corner cleats in packs of 4 together with panel locks & anti flex plates. You can mix your order of sizes of profiles and colours but will need to contact the office for quantity discounts.

Essentially, you could fabricate your frames with a hacksaw and a mitre block, but a good quality mitre chop saw with an aluminium cutting blade will be quicker and more accurate.

Yes of course. We can send you a pack of samples of each size and profile. Just pay £9.00 postage or you can order a samples display panel for £16.99, which is redeemable against your first order.
