Looking for aluminum trim

[bigben]

So I've got a customer that want an aluminum trim around his mural. I hate the idea, but he is paying for. I've tried to find a good solution and the only model I've found is a technical drawing. But no information on where I could get them.

If possible, I would like to have a source in Canada (Montreal area). I'm open to all suggestions also.

Thanks.

I've found some pictures on the net of how it should look like.

Have you looked at Outwater plastics? Not sure if they have a location in Canada though.

Yes. I've even called them to be sure. They only have trims like J-shaped or U-shaped for thick material.

What is the mural made of= general formulation 226 (6mil vinyl)
What's the finished size of the mural= 241in wide X 95in high
What size trim do you desire= something around 2in X 1/4 thick, anodized aluminum color
How is the mural being fastened to the wall= the mural is stick on the wall (vinyl)

Alright, so there is NO substrate involved other than vinyl applied directly to a wall. You just want to add a decorative border.

Why not call Clarke Systems, see if they have a distributor up your way ?? They have a strip that looks just about like the one you have pictured and all you hafta do is to place some clips every so often and snap the frame in place. They're really for directories, but thinking outside the box, it would work nicely.

no luck. They said they can not help me with this.

Slatz would work except their clips all have endplates.

Just don't use that kind. Get the ones that go in the regular directories and anchor them in as needed
