Displaying metal chevrons

Post by ChrisG »

Unlike wooden chevrons Velcro doesn't easily stick to the aluminium and obviously can't be stapled in place, probably doesn't help that the back is not flat.

So what are my alternatives, I'd like them on the wall as I like the colours?

Your frame supplier can probably supply you with a metal strip which has inverted v to hold frame sample. You just screw this to the wall :D

Lion do this http://www.lionpic.co.uk/product/ANGLES ... 021,0.aspx

You can make your own 'pegs' by making one inch (or whatever) mitred-the-wrong-way corners, from a small moulding, these can be fixed to the wall and the back of the aluminium corner sample will sit in the lip; the face of the sample will cover, or partly cover, your peg.

Yeah better to buy the Lion Moulding Corner Display - Metal Strip & Angles, More professional and easy to adjust

is anyone using the lion metal hanging system mentioned for all of their mouldings? If so how have they found them and any chance of a picture? I am thinking of using them in a mobile showroom but would like to know what the pitfalls are, I don't want the chevrons falling off every time I go over a sleeping policeman.

I use the Lion ones but they are not up to holding a large chevron for long
