FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What are 3 mm F-frames and what are they used for in signmaking?
3 mm F-frames are F-shaped trim profiles used to border the face panels of 3D letters and logos. They provide a mounting edge to connect the face to the letter return while protecting it from water ingress and damage.
Which sheet materials and applications are suitable for?
They are designed for 3 mm thick sheets, typically acrylic (plexiglass) or polycarbonate. They are mainly used for illuminated and non-illuminated channel letters as well as compact shaped lightboxes.
How are mounted and shaped?
The trim is slotted onto the edge of the cut sheet and secured with plastic adhesive. For corners and curves, the rear flange is notched or heated with a heat gun to follow the contours of the letter easily.
