I haven't yet heard of plastic framed modules (and candidly, I hope
I never do). I have heard of frameless modules. Essentially glass on
top and glass on bottom. No metal (except for the mounting
hardware). Hopefully you don't want to use plastic for that. One of
these manufacturers exibited at SPI Las Vegas and had a very large,
very attractive booth demonstrating the applications of frameless
modules. If no one else on the List can remember this exhibitor (or
his competitors), I'm sure I can resurect my records and get this
manu. to you.<br>
<br>
Best wishes, keep up the high standards,<br>
<br>
