Outdoor advertising has only a few seconds to attract attention. At the same time, it must permanently withstand sun, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. A good design alone is therefore not enough. Only a suitable outdoor frame ensures that the advertising surface is taut, securely fastened, and professionally presented over a longer period.
For industrial companies, advertising technicians, and outdoor architects, weather-resistant frame systems offer a flexible solution for facades, company premises, event areas, and temporary campaigns. The key is to select the system that matches the location, format, and duration of use.

Where can outdoor frames be used?

Outdoor frames are suitable wherever large-format messages need to be visible outdoors. Typical locations include building facades, commercial properties, construction sites, fences, parking areas, and event venues.

They can be permanently installed or used for temporary campaigns. An industrial company, for example, can use them to present a new product line on its factory building. Advertising technicians can implement changing campaigns at highly frequented locations. For outdoor architects, the frames can already be integrated into facade and open space planning.

The PRIMEX outdoor frames are designed for wall installations and can be equipped with textile banners or PVC tarpaulins, depending on the system. The range includes profiles PR32 and PR80.

PR32 or PR80 – which system is suitable?

The choice of frame primarily depends on size, installation situation, and desired features.

The PR32 outdoor frame is a comparatively slim system for direct wall mounting. It is suitable for compact to medium-sized advertising surfaces where a discreet frame appearance is desired. The motif is stretched into the frame as a UV-printed textile. The system is delivered unassembled.

The PR80 outdoor frame has a larger installation depth and is modularly expandable. It can be equipped with a PVC tarpaulin or a fabric banner and optionally illuminated. This makes it particularly suitable for larger facade areas and projects that require a strong long-distance effect.

The decision should not be based solely on the format. Wind load, subsurface, mounting height, and planned lighting must also be considered.

Fabric banner or PVC tarpaulin?

Depending on the frame and application, different materials are available for the visible surface. Printed textile banners create a high-quality, uniform appearance. PVC tarpaulins are robust and particularly suitable for large-format or heavily used applications.

It is important that the material matches the duration and position of the campaign. Temporary event advertising has different requirements than a permanently mounted facade surface. Wind permeability and the type of tension can also be crucial for larger formats.

PRIMEX offers suitable outdoor fabric banners that can be adapted to the respective frame systems. Both textiles and tarpaulins can be replaced later. The construction remains, while the motif and message change.

How to ensure outdoor advertising remains professional in the long term?

Outdoors, mechanical and climatic stresses constantly act on the system. UV radiation can affect colors, wind stresses banners and fastenings, and temperature fluctuations affect materials and connections.

Therefore, outdoor frames should not be planned like ordinary indoor frames. Crucial elements are robust aluminum profiles, suitable printing, clean tensioning, and fastenings that match the subsurface. PRIMEX describes its outdoor systems as resistant to UV radiation, rain, wind, and changing temperatures.

Regular visual inspection is also advisable. This involves checking tension, fastening points, and visible damage. For changing campaigns, replacing the motif also offers a good opportunity to check the system.
