When it comes to the framing of aluminium sheet / panels it’s very much a case of choosing ‘horses for courses’.
Gooding Aluminium has developed high quality framing solutions to suit a variety of interior projects. Face fixed and ‘secretly fixed’ options are available.
Perforated Sheet: Posi-Grip I.A. Framing
GA Posi-Grip is a two part extruded framing system with the inherent advantage of dry-mitre corner joints. Internal cleats tightly hold the corners together, avoiding the need for welding or chemical bonding.
Decorative / protective anodised finishes can be successfully applied to the internally cleated and therefore weld-free corners of this technically advanced framing system.
Aluminium Framing: GA Posi-Grip ‘Instant Access’
The outer frame is manufactured as one single profile; providing both strength and rigidity to the overall structure. The inner ‘snap-in’ section tightly grips the aluminium panel, thereby reducing the possibility of panel flexing. The inner section is available with alternative gap widths to suit 1.2 & 2mm thickness material.
With all the positive advantages of GA Posi-Grip, our ‘Instant Access’ version also provides for service access with the easy removal of ‘secretly fixed’ panels. The absence of visible fixings offers the combined benefits of improved aesthetics and added security.
There are many benefits of using our perforated sheets including;
Cleanliness – We only use naturally evaporating lubricants to assist with the perforating process.
Edge Detail – Our standard stock size panels are always supplied with an unpunched ‘safe edge’ border.
Flatness – Our technologically advanced production methods minimise surface curl in perforated sheets which helps to produce commercially and visually acceptable degrees of flatness.
Missing/Imperfect Hole Shapes – We only supply perforated aluminium sheets with 100% hole pattern conformity.
Surface Protection – We apply protective polythene film on the top face side to help protect from the rigours of the perforating process.
Our modern 5 Star Processing Service accurately and rapidly fabricates Aluminium Reception Desk Fascias to meet your precise specification.
Choose from our diverse range of aluminium sheets that can be supplied in anodised, mill, satin brush or powder coated finishes.
