Quick guide
Which panel construction fits?
Hook & loop ready classrooms
Continuous changes and bulletin-style displays. Start with a fabric-faced panel — Braelok and other hook-receptive faces work well for frequent rearrange.
Already have a frame
Order a stand-alone insert panel precision-cut to your frame. Half-inch PVC fits most standard frames; other thicknesses available.
Substrate
Wood substrate panels
Reclaimed-wood, eco-friendly soundboards built for indoor long life. Acoustic, mobile, and a favorite for trade shows and educators who need durable fabric-faced boards that travel and install cleanly.
- Standard sizes 4 ft × 10 ft and 4 ft × 8 ft; smaller dimensions available
- Thicknesses 1/4 in, 1/8 in, and 1/2 in; fitted for frames from 1/2 in to 1/8 in
- Quarter-inch inserts available; half-inch offers lightweight stiffness, tackability, and sound absorption
- Hook compatible (hooks sold separately — preferred over damaging tacks)
- Flush-trimmed edges; dry-temp adhesive fabrics (Tempo, Premier, Regal, Braelok)
- Class A flammability rated fabrics; excellent acoustics
- Eco-friendly reclaimed wood chips and shavings
- Also available: Masonite, Lauan, sound board, and Homasote in those thicknesses
- Custom applications welcome
Substrate
PVC substrate panels
An affordable retail and trade-show commodity for backer boards, end caps, POP, headers, and indoor/outdoor event signage. Fire-repellant / self-extinguishing constructions are preferred when a fire rating matters. Durable and low-maintenance, with thermal and sound benefits; water-, chemical-, mold-, and mildew-resistant; adhesive-friendly with 3M and Lockfast fasteners.
- Standard sizes 4 ft × 10 ft and 4 ft × 8 ft; thicknesses 1/4 in, 1/8 in, and 1/2 in; black is standard (other colors on request)
- Frame-fit from 1/2 in to 1/8 in; hook compatible; flush edges
- Uniform surface for ink adhesion; fabrics Tempo, Premier, Regal, Braelok, and Dye Sub
- Class A fabrics; strong acoustics; custom applications welcome
- Non-PVC wood-based boards also available (Masonite, Lauan, sound board, Homasote)
Framing
Aluminum, metal, and stand-alone inserts
Choose a finished frame system or a precision insert for the frame you already have. Metal and aluminum options cover trade-show walls, lobbies, and temporary dividers; stand-alone inserts drop into existing openings.
Aluminum frame
Supports half-inch panels that slide into flanking extrusions with six slots per extrusion. Lightweight, durable, and portable for temporary walls and dividers. Scalable, gloss finish, strong strength-to-weight, weather- and fire-resistant, and recyclable. Can ship assembled with easy panel changeouts.
Metal frame
Steel frames with inserts for 1/4 in and 1/2 in panels. Simple insertion; three sizes; ships unassembled. Mount horizontal or vertical, high or low. Applications include signs, notices, bulletins, and advertising. Repair parts available. Insulating sound wood board is recommended when acoustics matter.
- Part 2440 — 4 ft × 48″; 25 lbs; board 47-1/2″ × 47-1/2″
- Part 2460 — 4 ft × 72″; 29 lbs; board 47-1/2″ × 71-1/2″
- Part 2480 — 4 ft × 94″; 32 lbs; board 47-1/2″ × 93-1/2″
Stand alone / insert
When you already have a frame, order a precision-cut insert in standard thicknesses. Half-inch PVC fits most standard frames. Flush, display-ready edges — no extra trimming on site.
