Ten A4 Snap Frames That Keep a Building's Notices Current

Most mandatory notices in a building are out of date, usually because changing them is a nuisance. The SFA4M removes that excuse. It arrives as a set of ten matching A4 frames that open from the front by hand, so a fire route, a cleaning rota or a health and safety poster is swapped in seconds with the frame still on the wall and no call to maintenance. An anti-glare cover keeps the small print readable under strip and spot lighting, and the anodised aluminium shrugs off the damp of a washroom or kitchen. Buying ten at once means every notice point, from reception to stairwell, carries the same tidy frame. Best suited to healthcare, education and hospitality buildings where notices change often and must be seen and read.

Why a Pack of Ten A4 Snap Frames Suits Building-Wide Compliance

  • Ten matching frames in one order: A working building carries A4 notices at reception, the staff room, the kitchen, the fire exit, the lift lobby, the stairwell and the washrooms, which is most of a ten-pack before the meeting rooms. Fitting them from one order means every compliance point matches and reads as deliberately managed rather than pieced together.
  • Front-loading change in seconds: All four edges open by hand, so a notice is lifted out and replaced in a few seconds with no tools and no need to take the frame off the wall. When a rota rotates or a regulation updates, staff refresh the wall straight away instead of leaving an old notice up because the old-style frame was too much bother to open.
  • Anodised aluminium for wet, busy areas: The silver is anodised into the metal rather than painted on, so it resists corrosion in a humid washroom or kitchen, wipes clean with a cloth and holds its satin look through years of daily contact where a painted frame would chip and a cork board would swell.
  • Anti-glare cover for close reading: Compliance notices are full of small print people have to read properly, and a plain cover throws back strip-light and window glare that hides it. The anti-glare PVC cover softens that reflection so every line stays legible, and its UV resistance slows fading on a notice left up for months.
  • Hangs portrait or landscape: Health and safety posters go up tall while some fire plans and certificates run wide, and pre-drilled fixing points on every side take either way from the same position, so a frame suits whatever a given notice needs without new holes.
  • A flat, permanent-looking finish: The mitred corners meet in clean joints and a flexible back panel follows an uneven wall, so each frame sits flush and reads as a fitted part of the building rather than something stuck up temporarily.

Where a Fleet of A4 Frames Fits Across a Working Building

Healthcare, Hospitals and Dental Practices Hygiene protocols, practitioner credentials, patient information and fire routes present across wards, corridors and waiting areas in one matching finish. Nursing and admin staff update a notice themselves in seconds, and the silver frame wipes clean and suits a clinical interior.
Pubs, Restaurants and Hospitality Cleaning schedules on washroom doors, food hygiene ratings by the bar and daily promotions all change often, and the front-loading frame handles that turnover in seconds. The anodised finish stands up to a humid, high-traffic hospitality setting without rusting or tiring.
Schools, Universities and Education Safeguarding notices, fire assembly points, term dates and department timetables fill corridors and staff areas that change with every term. A ten-pack covers a floor or a wing in one deployment, and staff keep the content current as schedules move.
Corporate Offices and Meeting Rooms Health and safety certificates, fire routes, room schedules and visitor guidance present in a satin silver that sits with glass partitions and steel fittings. Matching frames at every position give a reception and its meeting rooms a consistent, considered look.
Warehouses, Factories and Industrial Sites COSHH notices, PPE requirements, loading-bay procedures and first aid details display where damp, dust and daily knocks would corrode a painted frame. The anodised aluminium holds up in a working industrial environment and stays readable behind its anti-glare cover.
Hotels, Leisure and Residential Buildings Lift-lobby notices, car park rules, fire information and gym or pool guidance stay tidy across communal areas in matching frames. A building manager standardises every notice point once and it holds up through years of shared use.

Need a Different Size or a Black Finish?

The same snap frame comes in a black A4 finish as the A4 black snap frame for hospitality and design-led interiors, and in a larger A2 silver size for corridor wayfinding and menus. For unsupervised positions, our anti-tamper and lockable snap frame ranges need a tool to open.

Call us on 01279460460 or get in touch about mixed sizes or a multi-site order.

The Displaysense SFA4M is a pack of ten A4 silver anodised aluminium snap frames with a 25mm profile and mitred corners. Overall frame size 241mm x 328mm x 11mm, holding a standard A4 poster of 210mm x 297mm with a visible area of 190mm x 277mm. All four edges snap open and shut by hand, so a notice changes in seconds with the frame left fixed to the wall. An anti-glare, UV-resistant PVC cover keeps small print readable and slows fading, and a flexible back panel lets each frame sit flat on an uneven wall. The frames hang portrait or landscape on pre-drilled fixings, with wall fixings supplied. Supplied as a pack of ten to fit out a whole building of compliance and information notices in one order. Suitable for healthcare, education, hospitality, corporate, industrial and residential settings. Also available in A0, A1, A2, A3 and A5, and in black, red, blue, white, gold, chrome and wood-effect finishes. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.

Changing a notice takes about five seconds, and that speed is the whole point of the frame for compliance. Opening the four edges by hand lets a member of staff drop out the old sheet and drop in the new one with the frame left hanging on the wall, so a fire evacuation plan, a hygiene rota or a statutory poster is refreshed the moment it changes, not months later. When updating a notice takes almost no effort, the ones on the wall stay current, which is exactly what a compliance position is meant to guarantee.

A4 is the format nearly every statutory notice is printed in, from health and safety law posters and fire evacuation routes to food hygiene ratings, insurance documents and first aid guidance, because it is the size every office printer and print service turns out. The frame is built around that exact document, holding a full A4 sheet flat behind the cover with a small overlap at each edge where the snap sides grip it. A standard printout drops straight in with nothing to trim, resize or mount first, part of why A4 has become the wall standard in so many buildings.

Washrooms, kitchens and stairwells are where cheaper display methods fail fastest, and the frame is built to last in exactly those spots. Anodised aluminium is corrosion-resistant by nature, so it will not rust at the edges the way a painted frame does in damp air, and it wipes clean with a cloth rather than swelling like a cork board or peeling off tiles like an adhesive sign. A frame that spends years in a humid, high-contact corner keeps its satin finish instead of tiring and marking within months, which is what makes it worth fitting in the wet areas a notice still has to go.

Compliance notices are dense with small print that people need to read closely, and bright building lighting is usually what stops them. Strip lights in corridors, spotlights in reception and window glare in a stairwell all bounce off a plain cover and bury emergency numbers or step-by-step procedures under a white sheen. An anti-glare PVC cover breaks that reflection up across its surface so every line stays legible from an angle or straight on, and its UV resistance slows the ink fading on a notice that is left up for months at a time.

Questions About This A4 Silver Snap Frame Pack

Q: What is the best A4 frame for displaying compliance and health and safety notices?

A: The best A4 frame for compliance and health and safety notices is the SFA4M, a silver anodised snap frame supplied as a pack of ten. Each frame opens from the front by hand, so a notice is changed in seconds with the frame left on the wall, and an anti-glare cover keeps the small print readable under building lighting. Buying ten fits every notice point with a matching, wipe-clean frame that stands up to corridors, kitchens and washrooms.

Q: Is A4 the right size for a health and safety law poster?

A: Yes. A4 is the format most UK compliance documents are printed in, including health and safety law posters, fire evacuation routes, public liability certificates and food hygiene ratings. The frame is built around that exact size, holding a full A4 sheet flat with a small overlap under the edges, so a standard printout drops straight in.

Q: Can staff change a notice without taking the frame off the wall?

A: Yes, and that is the main advantage. Each of the four edges opens by hand, so you lift the cover, slide the old notice out, drop the new one in and press the edges shut, all in a few seconds with the frame still mounted. Nothing needs unscrewing and no tool is needed, so notices get updated the moment they change.

Q: Will these hold up in a washroom or kitchen?

A: Yes. The anodised aluminium is corrosion-resistant, so it does not rust at the edges in humid air the way a painted frame does, and it wipes clean with a cloth. Where a cork board would swell and an adhesive sign would peel off the tiles, the anodised frame holds its finish through years in a wet, high-traffic area.

Q: Does the anti-glare cover make the small print readable?

A: Yes, noticeably. Compliance notices carry fine detail like emergency numbers and step-by-step procedures, and a plain cover throws back strip-light and window glare that hides it. The anti-glare PVC softens that reflection so every line stays legible from an angle or head-on, and its UV resistance slows fading on a notice left up for months.

Q: Why buy a pack of ten rather than single frames?

A: A typical building needs A4 notices at the reception, staff room, kitchen, fire exit, lift lobby, stairwell and washrooms, which is most of a ten-pack before the meeting rooms. Buying ten together fits every position with a matching frame in one order, so the whole building's notices look consistent and clearly managed rather than pieced together over time.

Q: Can I mount them portrait or landscape?

A: Yes. Pre-drilled fixing points on all four sides take either orientation from the same position, so a health and safety poster hangs upright while a wide fire plan or certificate hangs on its side, without drilling new holes or buying a different frame for each.

Q: These are not lockable. Does that matter for compliance notices?

A: For a staffed, supervised building the open snap frame is the practical choice, because it lets notices be updated instantly without keys or tools. For unsupervised spots such as external boards, public car parks or communal stairwells, we stock separate anti-tamper and lockable snap frame ranges that need a tool to open.

Q: Will the frame sit flush on a tiled or uneven wall?

A: Yes. The flexible back panel follows uneven and textured surfaces including tiles, brick, painted blockwork and rough plaster, so it sits flush without rocking on a grout line or a high point. On tiles, fixing through the grout line gives the most secure hold.

Q: How far does the frame stand off the wall?

A: The profile is slim, so the frame sits close to the wall and stays within the clearance that healthcare, education and public buildings need on a corridor, where wall fixtures must not obstruct pedestrian flow or a fire escape route. It reads as a flat, fitted fixture rather than a bulky box.

Q: Is there a black version, and how does it compare?

A: Yes. The SFA4B is the same A4 snap frame in a black finish, with the same mechanism, anti-glare cover and mitred corners, for restaurants, boutiques and design-led interiors where a dark frame suits the room. This silver SFA4M is anodised for a neutral, clinical look, and both come as a pack of ten.

Q: What other sizes are available in silver?

A: The same anodised silver snap frame comes in A0, A1, A2, A3 and A5. A0 and A1 suit large-format shopfront and promotional impact, A2 and A3 work for corridor wayfinding and menus, and A5 is the compact size for washroom doors and smaller notice points.

Guides for Compliance Display and Building Signage

A snap frame makes updating a notice effortless, but which documents you display, where you position the frames and how you hold a consistent standard at every point decide whether a building's signage does its job. These guides from the Displaysense knowledge hub cover choosing the right display and planning it across a whole building.

A: Yes. The flexible back panel follows uneven and textured surfaces including tiles, brick, painted blockwork and rough plaster, so it sits flush without rocking on a grout line or a high point. On tiles, fixing through the grout line gives the most secure hold.

Q: How far does the frame stand off the wall?

A: The profile is slim, so the frame sits close to the wall and stays within the clearance that healthcare, education and public buildings need on a corridor, where wall fixtures must not obstruct pedestrian flow or a fire escape route. It reads as a flat, fitted fixture rather than a bulky box.

Q: Is there a black version, and how does it compare?

A: Yes. The SFA4B is the same A4 snap frame in a black finish, with the same mechanism, anti-glare cover and mitred corners, for restaurants, boutiques and design-led interiors where a dark frame suits the room. This silver SFA4M is anodised for a neutral, clinical look, and both come as a pack of ten.

Q: What other sizes are available in silver?

A: The same anodised silver snap frame comes in A0, A1, A2, A3 and A5. A0 and A1 suit large-format shopfront and promotional impact, A2 and A3 work for corridor wayfinding and menus, and A5 is the compact size for washroom doors and smaller notice points.

Ten A4 Snap Frames That Keep a Building's Notices Current

Most mandatory notices in a building are out of date, usually because changing them is a nuisance. The SFA4M removes that excuse. It arrives as a set of ten matching A4 frames that open from the front by hand, so a fire route, a cleaning rota or a health and safety poster is swapped in seconds with the frame still on the wall and no call to maintenance. An anti-glare cover keeps the small print readable under strip and spot lighting, and the anodised aluminium shrugs off the damp of a washroom or kitchen. Buying ten at once means every notice point, from reception to stairwell, carries the same tidy frame. Best suited to healthcare, education and hospitality buildings where notices change often and must be seen and read.

Why a Pack of Ten A4 Snap Frames Suits Building-Wide Compliance

  • Ten matching frames in one order: A working building carries A4 notices at reception, the staff room, the kitchen, the fire exit, the lift lobby, the stairwell and the washrooms, which is most of a ten-pack before the meeting rooms. Fitting them from one order means every compliance point matches and reads as deliberately managed rather than pieced together.
  • Front-loading change in seconds: All four edges open by hand, so a notice is lifted out and replaced in a few seconds with no tools and no need to take the frame off the wall. When a rota rotates or a regulation updates, staff refresh the wall straight away instead of leaving an old notice up because the old-style frame was too much bother to open.
  • Anodised aluminium for wet, busy areas: The silver is anodised into the metal rather than painted on, so it resists corrosion in a humid washroom or kitchen, wipes clean with a cloth and holds its satin look through years of daily contact where a painted frame would chip and a cork board would swell.
  • Anti-glare cover for close reading: Compliance notices are full of small print people have to read properly, and a plain cover throws back strip-light and window glare that hides it. The anti-glare PVC cover softens that reflection so every line stays legible, and its UV resistance slows fading on a notice left up for months.
  • Hangs portrait or landscape: Health and safety posters go up tall while some fire plans and certificates run wide, and pre-drilled fixing points on every side take either way from the same position, so a frame suits whatever a given notice needs without new holes.
  • A flat, permanent-looking finish: The mitred corners meet in clean joints and a flexible back panel follows an uneven wall, so each frame sits flush and reads as a fitted part of the building rather than something stuck up temporarily.

Where a Fleet of A4 Frames Fits Across a Working Building

Healthcare, Hospitals and Dental Practices Hygiene protocols, practitioner credentials, patient information and fire routes present across wards, corridors and waiting areas in one matching finish. Nursing and admin staff update a notice themselves in seconds, and the silver frame wipes clean and suits a clinical interior.
Pubs, Restaurants and Hospitality Cleaning schedules on washroom doors, food hygiene ratings by the bar and daily promotions all change often, and the front-loading frame handles that turnover in seconds. The anodised finish stands up to a humid, high-traffic hospitality setting without rusting or tiring.
Schools, Universities and Education Safeguarding notices, fire assembly points, term dates and department timetables fill corridors and staff areas that change with every term. A ten-pack covers a floor or a wing in one deployment, and staff keep the content current as schedules move.
Corporate Offices and Meeting Rooms Health and safety certificates, fire routes, room schedules and visitor guidance present in a satin silver that sits with glass partitions and steel fittings. Matching frames at every position give a reception and its meeting rooms a consistent, considered look.
Warehouses, Factories and Industrial Sites COSHH notices, PPE requirements, loading-bay procedures and first aid details display where damp, dust and daily knocks would corrode a painted frame. The anodised aluminium holds up in a working industrial environment and stays readable behind its anti-glare cover.
Hotels, Leisure and Residential Buildings Lift-lobby notices, car park rules, fire information and gym or pool guidance stay tidy across communal areas in matching frames. A building manager standardises every notice point once and it holds up through years of shared use.

Need a Different Size or a Black Finish?

The same snap frame comes in a black A4 finish as the A4 black snap frame for hospitality and design-led interiors, and in a larger A2 silver size for corridor wayfinding and menus. For unsupervised positions, our anti-tamper and lockable snap frame ranges need a tool to open.

Call us on 01279460460 or get in touch about mixed sizes or a multi-site order.

The Displaysense SFA4M is a pack of ten A4 silver anodised aluminium snap frames with a 25mm profile and mitred corners. Overall frame size 241mm x 328mm x 11mm, holding a standard A4 poster of 210mm x 297mm with a visible area of 190mm x 277mm. All four edges snap open and shut by hand, so a notice changes in seconds with the frame left fixed to the wall. An anti-glare, UV-resistant PVC cover keeps small print readable and slows fading, and a flexible back panel lets each frame sit flat on an uneven wall. The frames hang portrait or landscape on pre-drilled fixings, with wall fixings supplied. Supplied as a pack of ten to fit out a whole building of compliance and information notices in one order. Suitable for healthcare, education, hospitality, corporate, industrial and residential settings. Also available in A0, A1, A2, A3 and A5, and in black, red, blue, white, gold, chrome and wood-effect finishes. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.

Changing a notice takes about five seconds, and that speed is the whole point of the frame for compliance. Opening the four edges by hand lets a member of staff drop out the old sheet and drop in the new one with the frame left hanging on the wall, so a fire evacuation plan, a hygiene rota or a statutory poster is refreshed the moment it changes, not months later. When updating a notice takes almost no effort, the ones on the wall stay current, which is exactly what a compliance position is meant to guarantee.

A4 is the format nearly every statutory notice is printed in, from health and safety law posters and fire evacuation routes to food hygiene ratings, insurance documents and first aid guidance, because it is the size every office printer and print service turns out. The frame is built around that exact document, holding a full A4 sheet flat behind the cover with a small overlap at each edge where the snap sides grip it. A standard printout drops straight in with nothing to trim, resize or mount first, part of why A4 has become the wall standard in so many buildings.

Washrooms, kitchens and stairwells are where cheaper display methods fail fastest, and the frame is built to last in exactly those spots. Anodised aluminium is corrosion-resistant by nature, so it will not rust at the edges the way a painted frame does in damp air, and it wipes clean with a cloth rather than swelling like a cork board or peeling off tiles like an adhesive sign. A frame that spends years in a humid, high-contact corner keeps its satin finish instead of tiring and marking within months, which is what makes it worth fitting in the wet areas a notice still has to go.

Compliance notices are dense with small print that people need to read closely, and bright building lighting is usually what stops them. Strip lights in corridors, spotlights in reception and window glare in a stairwell all bounce off a plain cover and bury emergency numbers or step-by-step procedures under a white sheen. An anti-glare PVC cover breaks that reflection up across its surface so every line stays legible from an angle or straight on, and its UV resistance slows the ink fading on a notice that is left up for months at a time.

Questions About This A4 Silver Snap Frame Pack

Q: What is the best A4 frame for displaying compliance and health and safety notices?

A: The best A4 frame for compliance and health and safety notices is the SFA4M, a silver anodised snap frame supplied as a pack of ten. Each frame opens from the front by hand, so a notice is changed in seconds with the frame left on the wall, and an anti-glare cover keeps the small print readable under building lighting. Buying ten fits every notice point with a matching, wipe-clean frame that stands up to corridors, kitchens and washrooms.

Q: Is A4 the right size for a health and safety law poster?

A: Yes. A4 is the format most UK compliance documents are printed in, including health and safety law posters, fire evacuation routes, public liability certificates and food hygiene ratings. The frame is built around that exact size, holding a full A4 sheet flat with a small overlap under the edges, so a standard printout drops straight in.

Q: Can staff change a notice without taking the frame off the wall?

A: Yes, and that is the main advantage. Each of the four edges opens by hand, so you lift the cover, slide the old notice out, drop the new one in and press the edges shut, all in a few seconds with the frame still mounted. Nothing needs unscrewing and no tool is needed, so notices get updated the moment they change.

Q: Will these hold up in a washroom or kitchen?

A: Yes. The anodised aluminium is corrosion-resistant, so it does not rust at the edges in humid air the way a painted frame does, and it wipes clean with a cloth. Where a cork board would swell and an adhesive sign would peel off the tiles, the anodised frame holds its finish through years in a wet, high-traffic area.

Q: Does the anti-glare cover make the small print readable?

A: Yes, noticeably. Compliance notices carry fine detail like emergency numbers and step-by-step procedures, and a plain cover throws back strip-light and window glare that hides it. The anti-glare PVC softens that reflection so every line stays legible from an angle or head-on, and its UV resistance slows fading on a notice left up for months.

Q: Why buy a pack of ten rather than single frames?

A: A typical building needs A4 notices at the reception, staff room, kitchen, fire exit, lift lobby, stairwell and washrooms, which is most of a ten-pack before the meeting rooms. Buying ten together fits every position with a matching frame in one order, so the whole building's notices look consistent and clearly managed rather than pieced together over time.

Q: Can I mount them portrait or landscape?

A: Yes. Pre-drilled fixing points on all four sides take either orientation from the same position, so a health and safety poster hangs upright while a wide fire plan or certificate hangs on its side, without drilling new holes or buying a different frame for each.

Q: These are not lockable. Does that matter for compliance notices?

A: For a staffed, supervised building the open snap frame is the practical choice, because it lets notices be updated instantly without keys or tools. For unsupervised spots such as external boards, public car parks or communal stairwells, we stock separate anti-tamper and lockable snap frame ranges that need a tool to open.

Q: Will the frame sit flush on a tiled or uneven wall?

A: Yes. The flexible back panel follows uneven and textured surfaces including tiles, brick, painted blockwork and rough plaster, so it sits flush without rocking on a grout line or a high point. On tiles, fixing through the grout line gives the most secure hold.

Q: How far does the frame stand off the wall?

A: The profile is slim, so the frame sits close to the wall and stays within the clearance that healthcare, education and public buildings need on a corridor, where wall fixtures must not obstruct pedestrian flow or a fire escape route. It reads as a flat, fitted fixture rather than a bulky box.

Q: Is there a black version, and how does it compare?

A: Yes. The SFA4B is the same A4 snap frame in a black finish, with the same mechanism, anti-glare cover and mitred corners, for restaurants, boutiques and design-led interiors where a dark frame suits the room. This silver SFA4M is anodised for a neutral, clinical look, and both come as a pack of ten.

Q: What other sizes are available in silver?

A: The same anodised silver snap frame comes in A0, A1, A2, A3 and A5. A0 and A1 suit large-format shopfront and promotional impact, A2 and A3 work for corridor wayfinding and menus, and A5 is the compact size for washroom doors and smaller notice points.

The frame is built around that exact size, holding a full A4 sheet flat with a small overlap under the edges, so a standard printout drops straight in.

Q: Can staff change a notice without taking the frame off the wall?

A: Yes, and that is the main advantage. Each of the four edges opens by hand, so you lift the cover, slide the old notice out, drop the new one in and press the edges shut, all in a few seconds with the frame still mounted. Nothing needs unscrewing and no tool is needed, so notices get updated the moment they change.

Q: Will these hold up in a washroom or kitchen?

A: Yes. The anodised aluminium is corrosion-resistant, so it does not rust at the edges in humid air the way a painted frame does, and it wipes clean with a cloth. Where a cork board would swell and an adhesive sign would peel off the tiles, the anodised frame holds its finish through years in a wet, high-traffic area.

Q: Does the anti-glare cover make the small print readable?

A: Yes, noticeably. Compliance notices carry fine detail like emergency numbers and step-by-step procedures, and a plain cover throws back strip-light and window glare that hides it. The anti-glare PVC softens that reflection so every line stays legible from an angle or head-on, and its UV resistance slows fading on a notice left up for months.

Q: Why buy a pack of ten rather than single frames?

A: A typical building needs A4 notices at the reception, staff room, kitchen, fire exit, lift lobby, stairwell and washrooms, which is most of a ten-pack before the meeting rooms. Buying ten together fits every position with a matching frame in one order, so the whole building's notices look consistent and clearly managed rather than pieced together over time.

Q: Can I mount them portrait or landscape?

A: Yes. Pre-drilled fixing points on all four sides take either orientation from the same position, so a health and safety poster hangs upright while a wide fire plan or certificate hangs on its side, without drilling new holes or buying a different frame for each.

Q: These are not lockable. Does that matter for compliance notices?

A: For a staffed, supervised building the open snap frame is the practical choice, because it lets notices be updated instantly without keys or tools. For unsupervised spots such as external boards, public car parks or communal stairwells, we stock separate anti-tamper and lockable snap frame ranges that need a tool to open.

Q: Will the frame sit flush on a tiled or uneven wall?

A: Yes. The flexible back panel follows uneven and textured surfaces including tiles, brick, painted blockwork and rough plaster, so it sits flush without rocking on a grout line or a high point. On tiles, fixing through the grout line gives the most secure hold.

Q: How far does the frame stand off the wall?

A: The profile is slim, so the frame sits close to the wall and stays within the clearance that healthcare, education and public buildings need on a corridor, where wall fixtures must not obstruct pedestrian flow or a fire escape route. It reads as a flat, fitted fixture rather than a bulky box.

Q: Is there a black version, and how does it compare?

A: Yes. The SFA4B is the same A4 snap frame in a black finish, with the same mechanism, anti-glare cover and mitred corners, for restaurants, boutiques and design-led interiors where a dark frame suits the room. This silver SFA4M is anodised for a neutral, clinical look, and both come as a pack of ten.

Q: What other sizes are available in silver?

A: The same anodised silver snap frame comes in A0, A1, A2, A3 and A5. A0 and A1 suit large-format shopfront and promotional impact, A2 and A3 work for corridor wayfinding and menus, and A5 is the compact size for washroom doors and smaller notice points.
