[BCMA] The Alberni Project expansion

Thu Aug 28 13:31:45 PDT 2014

Hi Lewis;

Here are some websites for you to check out. Some are meant for "permanent" exhibits and may not be appropriate for "travelling" displays due to the set-up resources (times and labour) required. There are more (mostly European) but these should be available in Canada or the US.

Museum Walls and Panels
Mila wall type [http://www.mba-worldwide.com/mila-wall-modular-technology-en.html]
Ambidex wall type [http://www.getsetonline.com/2005/ambidex/]
Logix panel + case type [http://www.logicexhibitsystem.com/]
MeroForm Advantec wall type [http://www.meroform.us/advantec/advantec.asp]

Temporary/Travelling Display Systems
Xhibita Original 8 fold-up type [http://www.xibita.com/modular-systems]
4Imprint fold-up type [http://www.4imprint.ca/tag/5242/Tradeshow-Floor-Displays-and-Kits/product/C114825-FC/Show-N-Fold-Up-Floor-Display-10-Full-Colour]
Radius post+panel type [http://www.radiusdisplay.com/Catalog/EXHIBIT]

Component Systems
Octanorm post + rail type [http://www.octanorm.net/Pages/Products/ProductBrowser2.aspx?dep=VMS]
Foga post + rail type [http://fogasystem.com/index.htm]
MeroForm tube + node type [http://www.meroform.us/m12/m12.asp]

Hope this helps;
Chris

These work very well with our mobile exhibit unit that travels around Vancouver Island and looks great in our main exhibit space in Comox. Having black carpet on the walls makes it a cinch to put our panels up with velcro when we have to change the exhibit. However there is only  a few combinations of floor layouts using this type of wall.

Or if you have custom made systems, we would appreciate knowing how these systems work for you. (or if you have a system you no longer need and would like warehouse space, we would entertain taking it off your hands).
>>> 
>>> Short of going with an office supply store and purchasing office room dividers (or busting our annual budget for the next 6 years on an incredible system we located from Ireland) we don't know where to start looking into companies that manufacture museum wall systems in Canada.
