Description
Standard aluminium snap frames are ideal for displaying posters and individual notices which will be subject to periodic change.
Our frames feature a strong 25mm aluminium profile a silver anodised finish and a UV-stable poster cover sheet. All frames are supplied individually boxed and come complete with wall-plugs and screws.
Note on external use:
Although all our Standard snap frames are suitable for external use, for exposed sites, those where vandalism is a potential problem and particularly for the larger poster sizes, we recommend considering using the alternative Tamper-proof Security snap frame which have a stronger clamping action and are virtually impossible to open without using the appropriate security tool.
Standard specification includes:
- Easy snap-open/snap-shut poster change.
- Built-in security – when closed all fixings and opening method are hidden from view.
- UV stable poster cover sheet – will not turn brown and protects poster from fade in sunlight.
- Anti-glare poster cover sheet – maintains message visibility under bright lighting.
- Pre-drilled and individually boxed with screws and wall plugs.

Delivery
Our preferred method of delivery will vary depending upon a number of factors including the weights of individual items in the consignment and the delivery address.
The majority of orders are now delivered by couriers using a specialist 2-man delivery team, as experience has shown this to be the safest and most reliable method. Although slightly more expensive than conventional alternatives, this guarantees that our boards, which can be heavy and difficult to handle) are treated with the necessary care at each step of their journey thus minimising the chances of loss or damage.
As soon as your order is completed, we will contact you to let you know that it is being collected by our courier and, shortly thereafter, they will contact you directly to make final arrangements for the delivery. This also has the advantage that you can normally fine-tune delivery details and thus avoid waiting in for prolonged periods.
All consignments will need to be checked and signed for upon receipt. In the unlikely event any item being damaged or missing, this should be recorded on the delivery note when signing for the goods and reported to us, preferably immediately and at the very latest, within 24 hours of delivery. We regret that we are unable to entertain any claims for damage or shortages that are notified to us outside this timescale.
Different arrangements may apply for small parcels, local deliveries or deliveries to remote areas and offshore islands, as follows:
- Where possible, small parcels (spare parts etc) are dispatched via Parcelforce 48 hr service.
- If the size of an individual order or the mileage involved warrant it, we may opt to use our dedicated, local courier.
- Deliveries falling outside the range of our usual 2-man service, i.e. to remote areas of the UK mainland and offshore islands, may require special arrangements. If you receive the message “Please contact us to discuss delivery methods/costs” when prompted to enter your postcode during the online buying process, please give us a call. This message doesn’t mean that we can’t deliver to your chosen address, just that we can’t automate the process of costing the delivery.
In all cases we endeavour to get the goods to you in the safest, most cost-effective and convenient way possible.
