The Alu-Face system was designed to provide an alternative to the present methods of creating aluminium-faced illuminated signs. Up until Alu-Face was available, sign companies could slide flat stencil-cut aluminium panels into standard signcases, or fold returns on to aluminium panels, creating a lid-type of construction which sleeved over illuminated signcases. Both of these methods were quite acceptable apart from the aesthetics of the flat panels, and the difficulty with joints on the folded panels. Both also suffered from a high risk of damage when removing panels for maintenance, due to the weakness inherent in stencil-cut panels. All of the above problems have been
eliminated with Alu-Face. It has an extremely attractive appearance,
thanks to smooth, curved edges, and panel joints that are always perfect,
as they are bonded. Damage at the maintenance stage is not an issue, as panels never require removal, thanks to a hinged-opening front. |
