A: The top 10mm of your media (paper, card, laminate or tiles etc) simply slides into the integral patented grip strips. The media hangs down neatly and securely. We have produced a basic (5 Sec) video clip to demonstrate, please CLICK HERE to view it. (650kb MPG)

A: Pins will rust, however notices that are gripped have no unsightly brown tacks! Magnets and Pins need replacing! Pins fall out! Magnets can get stolen! Pins are dangerous if swallowed or stood on! Pins and magnets are unhygienic and can collect dirt! Pins can be misused elsewhere. Pins have even been known to release dangerous asbestos fibres.

Gripped notices self-align and look neat and professional. Pinned notices look untidy! Pins can be difficult to remove! Pin boards rot, fade and mark easily. Pin boards are porous and can be stained or contaminated. Pin boards are difficult to clean and are therefore more unhygienic. Over time pin boards look drab, GRIPPIT™ boards stay clean, colourful and always look new!

A: Rows of aluminium slats with integral rubber grip strips, which hold your media using pressure. Sliding the notices into the rubber strips pushes the rubber back which then returns to its normal position, therefore adding pressure against the top 10mm of the media.

BACK TO TOP >

A: YES you can. The GRIPPIT™ board will display a variety of thicknesses. The alpha-numeric tiles that are used for the tile signs are 0.75mm thick. You can hold approximately 10-15 sheets of paper, thats nearly 3mm thick! Because laminates are rigid and long, they will more than likely stick out from the board. To solve this problem either purchase a GRIPPIT™ with a screen or simply score the top 10mm and bend a little.

A: In an office environment, pin boards have traditionally been used to display notices for a length of time. However with a GRIPPIT™ display, your media can be inserted and removed very quickly! Because of this unique system, a GRIPPIT™ display can be used for extra workspace. They become a valuable tool that assists your admin/paper work because documents can be kept out of the way and therefore your desktop stays organised.

"A Great Tool for preventing the Volcanoe Effect!"

A: GRIPPIT™ displays are probably the toughest notice boards available! But no matter how strong things are, devious people can always find ways to cause damage. Anything that is visible and accessible to the General Public can potentially be vandalised. We like to think our notice boards are VANDAL PROOF, but we can only advertise them as 'vandal resistant'! Therefore please be wary of any other product that claims to be VANDAL PROOF!

BACK TO TOP >

A: If your GRIPPIT™ display becomes vandalised we can provide most spare parts. The frames and posts are relatively easy to clean using special cleaners ('Meths'). If you are situating the display in an open accessible place that is easily available to the general public, then we recommend a G4 (Maximum Protection). If situated in a private area, that is relatively sheltered and secure; then we recommend an adapted G3 (Med/High Protection) or a G2 (Light Protection).

BACK TO TOP >

A: Due to the vandalism elements mentioned above, we cannot offer a 10 year guarantee. However, the GRIPPIT™ display panels have been looking good for over 15 years now! If they become damaged, you can easily order replacement panels and most spare parts.

BACK TO TOP >

A: Because GRIPPIT™ boards are made from aluminium, they have a very high fire resistance! Aluminium is an alloy (metal) and is NOT FLAMABLE. Although never tested, it should resist most fires as the melting point of aluminium is 1220.58 °F.

BACK TO TOP >

A: ALL of our GRIPPIT™ displays are weather resistant! The displays are made from aluminium, so they are ALL rust resistant and will not rot or fade like inferior fabric or cork pin boards.

We also supply GRIPPIT™ displays to be mounted outside without any rain protection (No Screen) whatsoever. We can also provide easy to use laminators.

	PUBLIC ACCESS BOARDS G1 - NO SCREEN
	CODE: G1L(M)+BG+C+TX
	G1 display board - Landscape Medium 10 x A4 No screen protection. Access for all! Grippit™ displays will accept laminated media. Laminates can last up to 10 weeks outside.

Due to the different styles of screen cover we manufacture, the real question is...

How much rain protection do you require?

BACK TO TOP >

G4 (MAXIMUM) offers the most protection because it is an integral unit (i.e the screen door sits inside the unit.) It has internal weather proof strips and is a heavier fully sealed unit.

G3 (MEDIUM) has a surrounding screen frame as opposed to the better protected integral screen above. By adding extra protection +ADP (rain deflector parts, double locks and PET screen) the G3 display can be adapted to be even more water tight (see below). On post mounted displays we attach a foam edge protector to restrict the rain blowing inside in high winds. Due to the lighter weight of a G3 display, we do not recommend them for very exposed locations (i.e by the sea).

G2 (LIGHT) standard (non-adapted units) are only slightly water tight. However we can also make additional changes to these units +ADP, such as a rain canopy on the top that will make it deflect the rain.

G1 (NONE) offers no rain protection at all. Again we can adapt the unit to have a canopy +ADP, however in most cases customers will laminate their media.

+ADP = Adapted (Enhances the protection level of the basic model)

For more technical information about our levels of rain protection, see below...

A: Because all of our displays are weather resistant, we simplify WATER TIGHTNESS with...

What are the chances of my media getting wet?

As a general rule, the chance of the media getting wet, breaks down as follows...

PLEASE NOTE: The figures above are set against the Worse Case Scenario...

I.e Middle of a field / No surrounding cover / Wind Against / No Shelter Above etc

As you can see from the guide above, there is very little chance of the media getting wet with G4 or any of the adapted +ADP screen displays. Also, the percentages will be dramatically reduced if the displays are mounted more defensively (i.e under cover, behind a wall or inland etc.)

Don't forget that we can also provide A3 and A4 laminators that will further protect your media. With a G1 display, this is absolutely necessary!

Therefore the main decisions you will probably have to make are really about the security aspects.

1) What is the surrounding area like for vandals? 2) Do the general public have 24hr access?

BACK TO TOP >

A: All of the GRIPPIT™ displays can be mounted on posts. The Freestanding Kit consists of an aluminium backboard, post(s), channels, clips and post end caps.

A: YES, but it's better than that!

Traditionally signs have been permanent fixtures and if the information needed changing then the only way was to buy a NEW sign again! With a GRIPPIT™ display this is unnecessary! You simply swap the tiles (letters) picture tiles or blank tile around to suit whatever the promotion, advertisement or information happens to be at any time!

BACK TO TOP >

A: Instead of paper media, TILE SIGN™ media is simply a coloured rectangular aluminium tile with a contrasting coloured vinyl letter applied...

GRIPPIT™ boards display media in rows, therefore the tiles will self align. Multiple combinations of letters and picture tiles can be achieved, therefore spelling out and displaying ANY information you desire at ANY given time! The tiles are coloured to exactly match the colour of your GRIPPIT™ board. As a result, from just a short distance, the display will look just like a traditional sign. Contrasting coloured tiles can also be used to add bold statements or make headings stand out! CLICK HERE FOR MORE EXAMPLES

A: For a non-standard coloured G1 display it is 7-10 days. For G2 and G3 displays, it is 2-3 weeks and for G4, it is 3-4 weeks. Lead times vary depending upon quantities and the amount of customisation (colours & graphics etc). We are constantly improving our manufacturing process and we always try to keep stock of common sizes and colours. If it is in stock, we can supply it to you within 5 days. GRIPPIT™ displays are 100% QUALITY!

BACK TO TOP >

A: Firstly, we don't have competitors as such. The grip system has been developed and patented by ourselves. We are the only supplier of this unique system. Also, don't confuse a GRIPPIT™ display board with an old fashioned pin board! GRIPPIT™ displays are MODERN and are TOTALLY UNIQUE! Unlike inferior pin board displays imported from Eastern Europe or The Far East, every GRIPPIT™ board is cut, drilled, coloured and assembled here on 'good old' Lancashire soil! 100% of the manufacturing process is performed using U.K suppliers, services and staff.

A: We want your display board to attract the attention your information deserves. Therefore we have provided many additional extras for you to customise your display...

The basic units (i.e without extras or colours) are pretty straight forward.

G1P(S) = G for Grippit; 1 for Style1; P for Portrait and (S) for Small size. This unit has no screen.

G2L(M) = G for Grippit; 2 for Style2; L for Landscape and (M) for Medium size. With screen.

It is only when adding optional extras that confusion may occur. Extras begin with a '+'

+C = C is for Coloured display board.

Eventually the coding system will be built into a WYSIWYG page (What You See Is What You Get). The website will feature an easy to use, self-designing section. With a few clicks of the mouse you will be able to see an illustration of the finished unit. You will then be able to print it and send it to us as an order or enquiry.

A: Due to the reasons mentioned above, we feel that Grippit boards should be used instead of traditional pin boards. In future we will be phasing out the old fashioned pin board altogether. At present though, we are able to supply pinboards for use with just the basic G1 models.

Our Pin boards are self-healing and made from recycled newsprint. They come in a variety of colours.

P1L(S) = P for Pin Board; 1 for Style1; L for Landscape and (S) for Small size. No screen.

A: We us a combination of Nightfreight and TNT. For an extra charge you can request a more specific time of delivery. Grippit U.K Ltd charges the same for delivery as our courier charges us.

BACK TO TOP >

A: Yes. However we have designed the GRIPPIT™ boards to be EASILY INSTALLED BY 1 PERSON. For the post mounted option, an additional person may be required to help lift and support.

Due to Health and Safety laws, we must first perform a site survey for all post mounted units +BG.

Grippit UK Ltd have a limited amount of manpower, therefore our installation service depends upon the quantity and the distance (typically 150 mile radius). If the distance is out of our range, we can subcontract the installation work to a professional team more local to yourselves.

For more information and pricing, please ask our sales staff.

A: All Screened GRIPPIT™ boards arrive in wooden boxes/crates. Simply remove the screws on one side and lift the lid to reveal the bubble wrapped and foam protected contents. They are overly packaged this way firstly due to the weight and secondly to prevent damage to the mitred corners and hinge. When you receive the package, immediately check for any signs of damage.

Since Summer 2005 we have had a 100% undamaged record.

A: We can take payment by CREDIT or DEBIT card over the phone.
