Aluminium frame profile cut to length, from which the outer housing of LED scrolling signs and LED boards can be built in-house. It is an excellent solution if you want to repair an existing sign or assemble an LED housing to a completely bespoke size, because you order exactly as much as your project needs. The profile gives a light yet stable frame and fits the usual corner pieces and fixing systems. It is suitable for industrial and outdoor use alike, made with a UV- and moisture-resistant surface finish.
Aluminium frame profile (per metre)
The aluminium frame is a material available by the metre, developed specifically for forming the housing of LED scrolling signs and LED boards. The profile is light enough not to load the structure unnecessarily, yet it provides a stable frame for the LED modules and electronics built into it. Because it can be ordered cut to length, you buy exactly as much material as your project needs, whether you are building a completely new sign or repairing a damaged frame. The profile fits the standard corner pieces, so it is simple to form into a closed frame.

Who we recommend the per-metre frame profile to
The per-metre aluminium frame is made above all for installers, fitters and home builders who build or repair their own scrolling signs, shop-window LED boards or bespoke-sized LED wall housings. In many cases the frame of an existing sign is damaged by weather or physical impact and it is not economical to replace the whole structure — only the damaged section needs making good: profile available by the metre is ideal for that, since you order exactly as much as the repair takes. It is equally practical for those designing a non-standard sign size where ready-made, prefabricated frames do not fit: any bespoke size can be formed from per-metre profile. The profile is suitable for outdoor and indoor use alike, so it holds its own in projects ranging from shop-window scrolling signs to industrial signage.
Material quality and how it can be used
The profile is made from anodised or powder-coated aluminium, which resists outdoor UV and moisture, so it is suitable for long-term outdoor placement too. The cross-section allows LED modules, power supplies and cabling to be laid out tidily inside the profile, while the exterior stays even and industrially clean in appearance. We supply the profile in standard lengths, but cut to the metre as you require, so there is no unnecessary waste. The system is compatible with the matching corner pieces, with which the cut sections can be assembled into a closed, right-angled frame for any sign size.
Why it is worth investing in better-quality profile
The housing of a scrolling sign or LED board is exposed outdoors to continuous UV load and temperature swings for years, so the quality of the surface finish directly determines whether the sign will still look good, free of corrosion and discolouration, in 3 or in 15 years. Weaker, untreated or thinner-walled profile can fade or bend prematurely, which is not only an aesthetic but also a structural problem, since it also has to protect the electronics inside. We supply an anodised or powder-coated finish, which keeps its shape and colour over the long term, and if you need to extend or repair later you can reorder the same profile rather than having the whole sign remade.
Typical applications
Aluminium frame profile (per metre) — frequently asked questions
Can I order just a few metres of profile for a repair?
Yes — we cut the profile precisely to the metre requirement you specify, so you do not have to buy a full length even for a smaller repair.
Is it suitable for an outdoor sign exposed to the weather?
Yes — the surface-treated aluminium resists UV and moisture, so it is suitable for outdoor scrolling signs and keeps its shape for years.
Does the profile fit the corner pieces you supply?
Yes, the frame profile is designed to be compatible with the aluminium corner pieces offered with it, so a closed frame can be built from it.
What is the delivery time for profile cut to length?
Because we cut it to the ordered length from stock material, delivery is typically quick; we confirm the exact deadline when the order is placed.
Who can help if I am not sure of the size I need?
We offer a free consultation in which we work out exactly how much profile and how many corner pieces you will need, based on the existing sign or the planned dimensions.
How long does the surface finish last outdoors?
In normal use, the anodised or powder-coated finish keeps its UV and corrosion resistance over decades, with no significant fading.
