7869L SUB25 Aluminium Sub-Frame Length
When assembled into a frame and bonded to the back fo a printed panel, SUB25 makes it float away from the wall. Used with HD Bonding Tape, SUB25 is particularly suitable for larger aluminium panels and thicker substrates.
- Order square cut on our Chop Service, or in 3m lengths to cut on your own equipment.
- Join with our 25mm moulded push-in corners to make a frame.
- Apply HD Bonding Tape to the frame and bond to the back of the panel. Clean all contact surfaces with a solvent wipe first.
- Fit CWH3 Square Sawtooth Hangers to the frame and hang on normal picture hooks, or use T Screws for safe and secure hanging.
What is a Sub-Frame?
- A frame cut to size and fitted to the back of the panel with VHB Tape/Heavy-Duty (HD) bonding tape

- Square cut lengths are joined with push in corners
- Hangers are fitted to the frame
What does a Sub-Frame do?
- Provides a way of fitting hangers to allow the panel to hang on normal picture hooks
- Adds a feeling of weight and enhances the quality of the panel
- Gives the panel added rigidity and strength
- Spaces the panel away from the wall so that it appears to float
Which profile is right for me?
SUB15 floats the panel 15mm from the wall. With bonding tape re-applied, it is ideal for smaller panels and lighter substrates, such as Chromaluxe. Appy Heavy Duty Bonding Tape to the a sub frame without tape pre-applied for use with most panel sizes and substrate thicknesses.
SUB25 floats the panel 25mm from the wall. Used Heavy Duty Bonding Tape it is particularly useful for larger aluminium panels and thicker substrates.
How does it work?
1) Order in length to cut on your own saw OR order on our Chop Service and we'll cut them to size for you.
2) Apply Heavy Duty Bonding Tape unless using SUB15 with bonding tape pre-applied.
3) Push in corners to make up the frame.
4) Clean all contact surface with solvent surface wipes 9837 (sachets) or 9838 (tub).
5) Remove release liner from tape, locate, press down firmly, leave to cure at room temperature.
6) Slow CWH3 hangers into the profile or use T Screws for secure fixing.
Fixing protocol for best results
CLEAN the back of the panel with a solvent wipe - never skip this step.
PRESS the frame firmly onto the back of the panel, leaving it to cure at room temperature.
HANG the profile using CWH3 hangers slotted into the vertical sides of the frame, or fix securely using T Screws. Never hang directly from the sub frame iteself.
How big should your sub frame be?
Measure the printed panel and allow 25-75mm border (depending on panel size). Take the external measurements of the sub frame e.g. 300mm x 500mm. Subtract 27mm to each end to allow for the width of the push in corners, making the framed example 446mm x 246mm.
Priced per metre, supplied in 3m lengths. Please order in metres, we will round up to the nearest full length.
