I thought it would be quite a problem ordering aluminium sheet from overseas but your Company has been on the ball this whole time.

Aluminium Framed Panels - GA Posi-Grip Framing

Getting framed can be a positive experience with GA Posi-Grip. With its ‘snap-in’ inserts and dry-mitre corner joints GA Posi-Grip is the ultra professional aluminium sheet framing system.

You’ll also find that strength and rigidity is provided by Posi-Grip’s single piece hollow outer frame. The inner ‘snap-in’ insert reduces the possibility of flexing while tightly gripping the aluminium sheet.

Another extremely effective Posi-Grip feature is the internally cleated corner joints, 'invisibly' pulling and tightening the aluminium frame profiles together.

GA Posi-Grip certainly satisfies the highest performance and quality standards for a secure and attractive panel edging.

Features – benefits

• 'Snap in' inner frame – Reduces flexing and tightly grips the aluminium panel infil
• Weld free corners – Suitable for anodising (unlike welded corners)
• Inner and outer frames – Increasing overall aluminium panel rigidity
• Aluminium alloy – A high tensile material that provides increased strength
• Internally cleated corners – ‘Invisibly’ fabricated
• Extruded aluminium profiles – Tighter tolerances for superior technical performance
• Hollow profile – Reduces weight & saves on cost
• Alternative snap-in inner frames – Provides for 2mm and 1.2mm aluminium sheet thicknesses
• Held in stock – Eliminates production delays

Aluminium Framed Panels - GA Posi-Grip 'Instant Access' Framing

There are some things that serve a really useful purpose but you really don’t need to see them and aluminium panel fixings are one of those! That’s where GA’s ‘Instant Access’ Posi-Grip system comes into its own.

Sometimes an image can convey as much information as a thousand words and that’s why we’ve illustrated how this ingenious system actually works. Essentially, it’s a pressure engagement system with high quality stainless steel pins that are located in a slot at the rear of the aluminium frame profile. The pins locate into friction bushes that are set into the opening surround and these securely grip the studs.

The aluminium panels can be removed by gently levering away from the fixing surface with a flat-ended tool.

Aluminium Framed Panels - GA Extruded Alloy Squeeze Frames

You can stay on the 'straight and narrow' with GA’s extruded aluminium alloy Squeeze Frames.

FFor added strength and rigidity all perforated GA Squeeze Frame Aluminium Panels are supplied with a plain (imperforate) border that sits inside the aluminium frame recess. Independent test results show significantly improved performance with this method of fabrication.

By utilising the ‘close tolerance’ alloy extrusion process in producing these aluminium profiles, the much dreaded ‘rippling or bowing’ effect of folded aluminium sheet trims can be avoided. You’ll also experience a stronger and straighter aluminium product, giving a more professional finished appearance.

Features - benefits

• Extruded material - Closer tolerances with a consistent gap width and leg length
• Economic - Free of the aluminium profile forming element
• Manufactured in aluminium alloy - Higher tensile strength and rigidity
• Maximum flexibility - Can be rolled and curved to shape
• Weldable corners - Added joint strength (weld beads cleaned off flush by the GA Processing Team)
• Ready fit service – GA can apply these aluminium profile trims to any of our aluminium perforated sheets
• Surface finished - Can be supplied with a powder coated or non-directional satin brushed effect

Aluminium Framed Panels - GA Gravity Frames

GA’s aluminium Gravity Frames do exactly what you would expect of them. Just drop them (carefully) into horizontal openings and gravity does the rest! What could be simpler? And that’s not all, GA Gravity frames have been designed for rolling into diameters as small as 150mm, making them suitable for porthole type applications.
