Outdoor waterproof poster frame with snap-action poster change facility.
These 35mm wide profile outdoor snap frames suit posters printed on plain paper in sizes A2 and A1.
These poster frames also accept thicker inserts up to 4mm thick.
Foam rubber gasket seal keeps your notices and advertising posters dry behind a poster cover sheet made from outdoor-grade PET plastic.
Changing signs is easy with outdoor snap frames.
For A0 size and 40x60 size see lockable waterproof version (the frame can be used without utilising the lock if you don't need that feature).
Water-proof snap frames
Frames made from this new patented 35mm wide snap frame profile are waterproof and will protect paper posters from those unsightly damp patches in the corners which you can get with regular snap frames in wet weather.
Please note that condensation can occur within a waterproof snap frame whenever the ambient temperature falls below the dew point. It is advisable to print posters on a grade of paper, often referred to as waterproof paper, which is resistant to humidity. Likewise, the ink used should be resistant to fading in sunlight if a poster is likely to be displayed outdoors for some time. Please consult a printer for advice on this.
Waterproof snap frames are designed to be mounted onto a flat wall or surface so that the back is not exposed, as this may compromise the ability to remain waterproof. To mount on alternative surfaces such as fences and railings we recommend that you first mount the frame onto a rigid solid backing board, and then attach the backing board to your desired location.

Fix snap frames using screws
The best way to permanently fix snap frame is with screws.
Screws and plastic wall plugs are included with every snap frame we supply
The wall plugs are for use with masonry walls such as brick and most plastered walls
When screwing onto wood the plugs are not needed
A power drill and screwdriver are required for screw fixing (and we recommend using a spirit level and tape measure to ensure the frames are properly aligned). If in doubt please consult a proficient DIY or trades person.
