Corner Fix Panel

Built for the corners that do the holding

The Corner Fix Panel is drilled for visible corner fixing, so the panel is held off the wall with a clean, deliberate look rather than hidden fittings. It suits spaces where the fixing method is part of the design such as reception areas, conference rooms, retail walls, hospitality spaces and branded interiors in Randburg, Johannesburg and beyond.

The panel is made from coated aluminium for dye sublimation, which gives a sharp image transfer with colour depth and fine detail. That process works well for photographs, artwork, promotional graphics and corporate visuals, provided the file is prepared properly and the image quality is strong enough for the final size.

Finish choices that change the feel of the image

Corner Fix Panels can be supplied in different surface looks, and the finish changes how light plays across the print. Gloss gives a brighter, more reflective look with strong colour pop. Matte reduces glare and suits rooms with direct light, glass walls or lots of overhead fittings. White coated aluminium gives a clean base for full colour work. Brushed aluminium lets the metal texture show through in selected areas, which suits certain graphics and monochrome images better.

Finish selection is worth matching to the room, the viewing distance and the subject matter. A glossy panel in a bright Durban office with large windows may catch reflections, while a matte panel can be easier to read in that kind of setting. In a darker boardroom or gallery wall, gloss can add extra presence if the lighting is controlled.

• Gloss for strong colour and a polished look
• Matte for lower glare and everyday viewing comfort
• White for crisp full colour reproduction
• Brushed for a metal texture effect and a more industrial feel

Sizes, drilling and layout work that must be right first time

Panels can be made to standard or custom sizes, depending on the wall space and the image proportion. The hole positions are planned from the panel size so the visible corner fixings sit evenly and do not interfere with the picture area. For larger wall pieces, the balance between image crop, border allowance and fixing position matters, especially where the panel will be viewed from close range.

Typical order details include panel width and height, preferred orientation, corner hole layout, and whether the image should run full bleed or with a small border. For multi panel work, the spacing between panels must also be confirmed, because that affects how the image flows across the wall. A neat plan saves rework and helps the final install line up properly.

• Custom sizing for one off feature walls
• Corner hole drilling set to the panel size
• Single panels or multi panel layouts
• Full bleed or bordered image placement

Where Corner Fix Panels earn their keep

This product suits commercial settings where a fixed, visible support style is acceptable or preferred. It is often used for branding walls, product images, reception graphics, directional art and photo displays in hotels, agencies, medical practices, restaurants and corporate offices. It also works in homes when the owner wants a clean modern panel with a more exposed mounting style.

Photographers and artists use this format when they want the print to read like a finished object rather than a loose poster or framed paper print. The aluminium face adds a firm, professional feel and it is a practical choice for spaces where humidity, handling or regular cleaning are part of daily life, including coastal areas and busy public interiors.

• Reception and foyer displays
• Retail walls and window facing areas
• Boardrooms, passage walls and meeting rooms
• Hospitality and hospitality-style interiors
• Photographic prints and limited edition art

Fitting notes for a neat wall finish

Because the fixing points are visible, the wall condition matters. The panel should be mounted onto a suitable surface that can take the load and keep the panel level. For larger sizes, stronger wall plugs, correct screw length and accurate spacing are important. The wall must be checked for sound plaster, even spacing and anything behind the surface that may affect drilling.

If the panel is going into a business premises, the installer should also confirm that the final position does not clash with switches, skirting height, fire equipment or access routes. On commercial jobs in Johannesburg and Pretoria, this kind of planning helps keep the wall compliant with the space rather than forcing the panel into the wrong spot. A small error at drill stage is hard to hide once the visible fixings are in place.

• Check wall strength before drilling
• Confirm hole spacing against the panel size
• Allow for skirting, power points and wall fixtures
• Use level setting so the image sits square

What must be confirmed before print starts

To produce the panel properly, we need the final image file, the finished size, the chosen finish and the preferred fixing layout. The image must be owned by the customer or used with permission, because the print is made exactly from the file supplied. A high resolution file is important, especially if the panel will be viewed close up or enlarged beyond the original file size.

It also helps to confirm any crop restrictions, whether faces or logos must stay clear of the fixings, and whether the colour should be matched as closely as possible to an existing panel or branding piece. If the job has a repeat order or match requirement, the earlier print sample or reference file should be supplied so the colour preparation can be checked against it before production.

For clients ordering from Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha, Midrand or Sandton, packing and delivery can be arranged with the same practical care used for local collection in Randburg. The panel is packed to protect the face, corners and drilled points in transit, because a chipped edge or damaged hole can affect the whole install.
