Wall Frames

Wall-Frames are any signs that are attached with their backs to a flat, upright surface, whether it is a wall, a door or a cubicle partition. This is definitely the main category of signs, and it includes very simple, "off the shelf" signs as well as complex custom designed signs. Each of those extremes has its pros and cons, but basically it is a battle of price and quality (or aesthetics).

	We have chosen to concentrate on the Vista System line, which consists of modular, curved aluminum sign frames, with changeable inserts, that you can replace yourself. This is a great system for office buildings, medical facilities, libraries, airports, etc. Those signs are used as nameplates or as general information signs.

When considering a curved frame, one has to decide first if he wants the curve to span from right to left (a portrait orientation) or from top to bottom (a landscape orientation). This does not necessarily depends on the sign's proportions (width compares to height), but there may be financial aspects connected to it due to the cost of end-caps. If the sign has a dimension that is considerable larger than the other, you will pay more to have an end cap there.
