Interior Signs
Exclusions
Frames & Radius
Corners
Frames for interior signs are no
3B
longer a part of the sign program.
This applies to both thin and thick
plastic and aluminum frames.
3
Radius corner signs and radius
corner frames are also not
5
included in the sign program.
Frames have been dropped from
the interior sign program for
several reasons:
They significantly increase
the cost of signs
They create difficulties
when inserting and removing
inserts
Frames from different
manufacturers are not
compatible with inserts from
different companies
Frames are quite thick and
create a "dirt catching shelf"
3B
Frames from different
manufacturers have such
varied "looks" that this creates a
disorganized appearance within
3
a medical center.
5
Radius corners plaques are not a
part of the program because they
create compatibility problems
when trying to maintain a sign
program over several years
using different manufacturers as
suppliers. Radius corner framed
plaques are worse and create even
more compatibility problems.
If a facility has square corner
frames, radius corner frames or
radius corner plaques as a part of
the current program, that element
of the program can be continued if
3B
continuity is desired.
