Metal poster frames

Post by John Andreae »

I am framing some large posters and want to use a type of metal frame I've seen which has little plates in a groove at the corners that you tighten up with grub screws having assembled the frame.

Does any one know what these are called and where I can source them online?

Thanks

Hi John,
You can get aluminium frames from Nielsen, Arqadia, Lion, and Wessex to name a few, there maybe some others who supply them. They are just called aluminium frames, and are ordered cut to size on 'chop service', the fittings are known as 'hardware'.
Nielsen also do some ready mades as well.
