ACM / aluminium composite material
A rigid, stable panel commonly used for flat signs and trays. Different grades and finishes are available; suitability depends on the construction and environment.
Purple Frog Signs creates wall murals, cut-vinyl lettering, mounted logos, feature panels and branded interior displays for workplaces, schools, healthcare settings, hospitality venues and public spaces. Artwork and materials are planned around the wall finish, dimensions, obstructions, viewing distance and expected lifespan. Where information changes, modular panels or replaceable graphic zones can preserve the main installation while allowing economical updates.
Available for projects across Kent, London, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and the wider South East.
Wall graphics depend on a clean, dry, sound and suitably finished surface. Fresh paint needs adequate curing time, and some low-VOC, stain-resistant, textured or heavily matt paints can reduce adhesion. Existing flaking paint, damp or contamination must be addressed before application. Use a test patch where the surface or paint system is uncertain.
Prepare artwork from verified dimensions and account for sockets, radiators, furniture, corners, doors and sightlines. Essential words and faces should not fall across awkward joins or obstructions. A mural should have a clear focal point and enough visual breathing room rather than filling every available centimetre.
Where information changes, consider separate panels, rails, magnetic elements or replaceable graphic zones. This can preserve the main installation while allowing names, achievements, sponsors or dates to be updated economically.
Send the site postcode, photographs, approximate dimensions, quantity, required wording, brand files, preferred timescale and whether you need design, removal, delivery or installation. It is fine if the material or construction is not yet decided.

Clear answers to the practical details that can affect a project.
Read all frequently asked questionsRemovability depends on the selected film, paint, wall preparation, age and environment. Removal may lift weak paint or reveal colour differences. Temporary use must be stated at the start so the material can be chosen accordingly.
Some specialist films can tolerate limited texture, but the finish and durability differ from a smooth surface. A site assessment and adhesion test are advisable.

Yes, but only when dust-producing work is complete, surfaces are finished and cured, access is clear and the environment meets the selected material’s application requirements.
