Detailed Guide of the Line Models

A) Color and Finishes

    Acrylic Line Models

    Available in three satin colors: gray, brown, and white. The satin finish is modern and refined. Made from two layers, the panel has a satin front part and a transparent base at the back, creating a three-dimensional effect. In addition, an internal aluminum rod ensures durability.

    B) Installation

    • Acrylic: Installed with screws and plugs, hidden by caps made from the same material. The back rod lifts the number by about 3 mm from the wall, creating a subtle relief.

    C) Durability

    • Acrylic: Lightweight and durable without compromise, perfect even outdoors, especially under balconies or canopies. The combination with the transparent back panel is not only aesthetic but ensures superior durability. Tested for decades directly by our company, our acrylic withstands time and weather with style.
    • Aluminum: The strength that wins over architecture. Ideal for extended outdoor exposure, aluminum doesn’t bend to time: it’s a champion of reliability and elegance.



    D) Allowed Characters

    • Acrylic: Allows customized decorations such as punctuation, apostrophes, or hyphens, thanks to the transparent plexiglass sheet: see example.
