Double sided suspended snap frames - INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Unlike ordinary snap frames these two-sided poster frames have to be ordered for either portrait or landscape use. They can be suspended individually - or one above the other with the suspension cables passing down through the interior core of the top frame and down to the next.
Frames suspended one above the other
As with cable display systems using acrylic frames, double-sided snap frames can be secured on cables which run floor to ceiling (we can supply the necessary fittings to achieve this - please call to discuss your requirements).
Note that the frames either have to be the same size - OR at least the same width. That means an A2 portrait frame can be combined with one or more A3 landscape frames in a single array. Likewise A1 portrait can be combined with A2 landscape and so forth, because the frame widths match - and so too will the hole centres for hanging.
Choice of fixing method
For simple installations such as suspending a solitary double-sided snap frame, the supplied 'hanging eyes' can be used. These screw in to the top of the frame allowing suspension by wires from the ceiling or by double-ended hooks. They can also be hooked directly onto rings or 'vine eyes' strategically placed in the ceiling. However this method does not offer easy height adjustment.
The Stopper accessory overcomes this limitation by allowing for easy height adjustment. This is especially useful for vertical arrays of snap frames, one above the other, such as in shop windows. The frame heights can be readjusted when required, without disturbing the floor to ceiling cables or wires. .
