Deep Aluminium frames

Post by Julie Read »

Hi

Does anyone know where I could get deep aluminium frames (to frame a heavy rock sample 50 mm deep). Customer wants a thin aluminium frame! Thanks in advance for any ideas

Neilsen used to do a very deep ally section with channels for the glass and everything. 2" may be pushing it a bit though.
Don't know if they still do. :roll: I've a box full of samples somewhere.......

Just a long shot, have a word with a local sign maker, that make big illuminated signs, they may have something that will fit the bill
