1st Choice to make - Aluminum or Plastic frame   Pics

Reasons for  Plastic Frames - Reasons for Aluminum Frame -
    + Cost is less - see price sheets     + can have built in tray - but tray sticks out from wall  a "hazard"
        + must be used on boards over 36" x 48"
    + quality and life of frame very good     + allows hook attachment- not available on  plastic frames
    but still may require permanent or more stable angle brackets   
    + 30% of boards we make are plastic framed
    + looks more like artwork and less institutional than alum     +  strongest attachment is by alum frame with angle brackets
    + 3/16" very economical  - 3/8" more $ but looks nicer     + New Ohio Alum frame only slightly more than plastic frames

Plastic Frames do not have hooks and need permanent mounting to wall
