Banner Frames
The pipes constituting the structure are shipped in sections of 200 cm.
There are 2 wall brackets for each pipe.
The average distribution of wall brackets is therefore about every 1 m.
The stormfix tensioner is the most optimal variant of banner fastening in terms of aesthetics and practicality.
Stormfix tensioners generate a distance between the banner and the inner edge of the banner frame = 3 cm (as compared with the cheaper hook tensioners, where this distance is 8 cm).
The StormFix tensioners are easier to clamp in contrast to standard hook tensioners.
Tensioners in the StormFix variant are also much more durable, which is not insignificant especially for free-standing structures.
The standard wall bracket used for the construction of banner frames provides a distance between the banner and the wall of about 6 cm.
The price includes wall brackets used to fix the frame to the facade of the building. However, the mounting anchors must be properly selected and purchased independently, depending on the type of substrate, such as concrete, brick, insulated wall or sandwich panel.
If you choose hook tensioners, we recommend the banner frame to be about 25 cm larger than the banner. However, for stormfix tensioners, the frame size should be larger than the banner by about 15 cm.
There is no limitation to the size of the banner frame. The elements are selected depending on the dimensions of the frame and suitably adjusted to the perimeter of the structure. It is worth noting that the size of the surface does not affect the strength of the banner frame. Densely spaced mountings ensure the sturdiness and strength of structure in any size.
We recommend to eyelet the banner at every 25-30 cm. The frequently used standard of 50 cm does not provide adequate tension of the outer edges of the banner.
Yes. We also offer the possibility of making an advertising banner with printout, edge sealing and eyeletting.
No. Preparation of graphic designs is on the customer's side. We provide a specification for the preparation of graphic files. It is a helpful guideline on how to properly prepare a graphic file for printing.
The graphic file should be in PDF format, as standard the fonts should be converted to curves or a file with flattened layers should be sent.
Color mode for CMYK recording as standard.
The maximum file weight is 500 MB.
Files for dimensions exceeding 500 cm on the sides should be scaled in a 1:10 ratio while maintaining a correspondingly higher resolution (so that once the file is scaled on the printing machine to the correct size the quality does not worsen below the minimum required parameters).
The pipes of the structure are shipped in packages with a length of 200 cm secured with foil.
The weight of a single package is usually about 15 kg.
The pipe fittings necessary to assemble the pipes are shipped separately in cardboard boxes.
Files not exceeding 20MB should be sent to the e-mail address. Larger files are best uploaded as a download link (a file placed on a server with a link generated e.g. via the "www.wetransfer.com" service)
No. Tensioners must be purchased separately. We offer stormfix or hook tensioners. For stormfix tensioners, the installation of banner corner eyelets will be more aesthetic if you additionally equip yourself with 4 stormfix corner tensioners.
In case of hook tensioners, the distance between the edge of the banner and the inner part of the frame pipe is 8 cm.
In case of stormfix tensioners, the distance is minimized and is 3 cm, which allows for better use of the surface of the banner frame and better aesthetics of the product.
To obtain calculations guaranteeing reliability and safety, it is recommended to consult a construction expert. Only an expert can calculate the forces acting on the structure. In addition, the permissible load-carrying capacity of bolts, pegs and other possibly added materials should be calculated. We bear no responsibility for damage and / or costs resulting from improper use and calculation of purchased items.
The choice of tensioner type depends on many factors.
What color or look do you like?
What material do you want to stretch?
How long is the banner intended to hang?
What is the diameter of pipes in the frame?
What tension do you need?
In most cases, both stormfix and hook tensioners are strong enough and fit the diameters of pipes that our banner frames are made of.
Our opinion is that the stormfix tensioners have better looks.
Also, the space between the banner and the frame is smaller in case of stormfix tensioners.
