These modular aluminium frame systems are ideal for retail, events, exhibitions and construction, they can be wall-mounted, freestanding, fitted to sub-structures or backlit for added visual impact.

What is Tetra?
Tetra is the ultimate graphic tensioning system, ideal for a variety of applications for events, exhibitions, signs, displays and conventions.
Patented by Sign Up Systems, Tetra was created after listening to our customers’ needs, requirements and the industry as a whole. The concept was simple, to provide a more sustainable product, manufactured in the UK, that could be directly finished without the needs for traditional practices such as using timber, truss work etc. which requires additional steps to be taken which increases production costs and labour time requirements.
Overtime, the Tetra brand has been developed to encompass a wide range of products which are used in different applications and settings enabling us to accommodate any design and budget requirements.
Whether you want a bespoke curved frame design, a self-install backdrop for your presentation, or simply an adaptable tension frame system that can flex to your needs.
