The Anatomy of a Frame Builder System
The Box Section
At the heart of the system is the aluminium box section. This square tubing is lightweight yet incredibly strong, making it easy to handle without compromising durability. Its natural resistance to corrosion ensures long-lasting performance, even in outdoor environments. From home shelving projects to robust commercial displays, aluminium box section provides the ideal balance of strength, weight and reliability.
The Connectors
Connectors are what transform simple tubing into functional, adaptable frames. With options including straight, elbow, tee and 3-way connectors, you can create countless designs tailored to your needs. Each connector is designed for a precise fit, ensuring stability without the need for complicated fixings. Whether you want a simple square frame or a more complex structure, the connectors make it possible.
