Welcome
T3 -­The Ultimate Modular Framework System
Tecna Display is a world leader in the supply of high-quality
portable and modular displays. Our T3 Modular Framing system
is used to build dynamic structures and display environments
for exhibition stands, graphic displays and signage, conferences,
events, museums and retail interiors.
T3 is the ideal modular framework system
for any kind of display panel; flexible, rigid
or fabric.
Modular display companies, exhibition,
display and interior contractors around the
world are using the T3 system to build eyecatching and innovative stands, back-drops,
conference sets, shop interiors, counters,
towers and displays in a fraction of the time
it takes to build them using conventional
methods. At the end of the event everything
packs away quickly and neatly.
Because it is so compact, transportation
and storage are easy and low-cost too.
Every structure in this brochure has been
constructed using our patented connector.
The robustness of the components means
that T3 can be re-used time and time again.
We use the finest quality materials to make
the best possible system. In fact, I back this
up by giving a lifetime guarantee on all the
main system parts. We also hold the ISO9001
certification to further guarantee the quality
of service and product.
The T3 system is protected by worldwide
patent and design registration.
After 15 years of development, I believe that T3
is now the most effective and versatile display
system available anywhere in the world.”
In 2012 we became the first company in the
exhibition and display systems industry to be
awarded the Queens Award for Enterprise, the
most prestigious and important award in UK
business. A recognition of the company and
its products of which I am extremely proud.”
Very importantly T3 components come with
a lifetime guarantee for breakage.
Portable systems companies, exhibition
contractors, large format printers, interior
contractors and display specialists are all
saving time and money by switching to T3
modular systems from Tecna Display Ltd.
“The T3 system is the result of over 30 years
experience in the exhibition and display
industries and I am totally committed to
ensuring that the product is the best available.
I am also regularly adding to the T3 range
of products, so it’s growing in versatility and
relevance all the time.

T3 Product Categories
T3 airframe; endless possibilities with our
twist, lock connect system. It’s the market
leader, the original seamless graphic framework
system. It’s designed to carry all types of roll-up
or rigid graphics in the most cost effective and
efficient way possible. Lightweight and easy to
construct, it is the most versatile framework
system available.
T3 fabframe; The ultimate modular display
system for tensioned fabrics. Designed to
capitalise on the ever increasing market for
fabric graphics in the exhibition, retail and display
industries. Hugely flexible, with its major strength
being the ease that walls and other structures
can be easily illuminated.
FLEXI-CURVE
T3 flexi-curve; A strong, flexible walling
product to make the most of any sized area.
The aim with this product is to create curved
walls using flexible horizontal tubes, this means
that you can “flex” the wall into a huge number of
different shapes to fit any size of stand. Monitors,
shelves and counters can all be fitted into the
framework.
T3 Shell-Kit; Enables you to make the most
of your shell scheme. It’s a clamp that fits
onto any aluminium profile, so panels and walls
can be fitted direct to the shell scheme, saving
money, space and time. It’s lighter, easier and
more cost effective to use than a roll up and
roller trolley.
T3 Ultralite; Interconnecting low cost plinths,
counters, towers and walls. Fabricated from
strong plastic tubes and airframe connectors,
the system is designed to enable one or more
structures to be interlocked meaning that large
structures can be constructed using minimal
storage and transport for maximum effect.
T3 shelving, lighting and accessories; Tecna
offers a full range of shelving options,
tungsten and LED lighting and accessories;
Adjustable, fixed and twist lock shelving options,
tube and spotlights and accessories ranging
from braces to feet, wheels to hinges, monitor
supports to bags and cases. There is a full range
of products to cover any requirement.

Exhibition Stands
The T3 system creates a custom look using
a modular concept, this means that exhibition
stands can be fabricated and installed without
the use of any skilled labour. The result can be
indistinguishable from the best bespoke stands.
T3 must be one of the easiest and most cost
effective system with which to build an exhibition
stand. It is light weight, easy to transport and
there is no need for any tools. T3 creates a
strong aluminium framework on which you can
place any type of panel or substrate.

Roll up graphics, rigid UPVC, tensioned fabric,
wood, glass, slat-wall, plus many others.
Because the system is lightweight and packs
down into small volume, it can be shipped
anywhere worldwide, cost effectively and
efficiently. This makes exhibiting overseas
with a strong presence and image a reality
for many companies, who before could only
consider a pop-up.
The system’s versatility and re-usability means
that it can be easily re-configured to fit any
size and shape of stand. Therefore stand
components can be used for many years
without stands ever looking the same.
We have the solution to meet any need
5
Exhibition Stands
The T3 system has been used to build
anything from a simple counter to a 400
square metre exhibition stand, 600cms high.
T3 can be produced in any straight tube
length up to 300cms with any diameter of
curve up to 1200cms. By using our internal
corner brace, unsupported spans of up to
500cms can easily be achieved. The system
also includes straight and curved, full size
and cupboard, lockable doors.
6
Walls and other structures can be illuminated
very simply, no matter what the size. T3
fabframe, the fabric option is especially easy
to illuminate.
There is a full range of accessories, which
all adds up to T3 being the most versatile
aluminium framework system available today.

Retail Interiors & Point of Sale
The versatility and strength of the
T3 system lends itself perfectly
for use in the retail industry.
The system has been used to
create full retail interiors, shop in
shop, travelling demonstration
units, signage and counters,
shelving and many more
applications.
The speed and ease of
assembly reduces downtime
in the retail environment to the
barest minimum. The fact that it
can be removed from one retail
area or shop and re-built in a
different configuration in another
outlet or area makes it versatile
and consequently cost effective.
It’s light weight, ease of transport
and speed of assembly lends
itself particularly well to the retail
roadshow and pop up shop
and photo booth. It has been
used very successfully for this
purpose in many countries.
8
Designed so that it can be covered easily
with any type of graphic material means that
branding can be very effective and this can be
changed equally quickly to keep the message
regularly updated. Structures can in turn be
illuminated and then, subsequently, covered
with solid graphics, monitors can be added
and removed, thus the retail environment and
message can be adapted and changed to
be most effective.
Signage is another area where t3 can be used
most effectively. It’s light weight and strength
means that it can be suspended from ceilings
to create a strong visual message, especially
when curves and illumination are included.

The product has also been used very effectively
as a window display structure, creating walling and
plinths to attract the passer-by. When dismantled
the structure takes up very little space in the
storeroom. The fact that it can be re-configured
means, of course, that it can be used at strategic
times during the retail year in different shapes and
with a different message.
There is a full range of shelving options and other
accessories which add up to T3 being an incredibly
useful tool for the retailer. We provide a range of
cases and bags specifically designed to pack and
store the T3 System as efficiently as possible.

11
Museums & Galleries
The T3 system lends itself perfectly to museums and
galleries. It can be used as walling and display plinths,
lockable showcases and platforms, all of which can
easily be covered by graphics. The structures are reconfigurable and the graphics can easily be changed
which means that the message and environment can
be adapted and re-shaped at any time. So entirely
different exhibitions can be produced with t3, using
the same elements.
12
This concept is especially useful in travelling
exhibitions where light weight, speed and
ease of assembly, strength and versatility
are so important. It can be used over many
years so T3 is incredibly cost effective in an
industry where every penny counts.

Conferences, events & awards
This is where time is of the essence. Speed of installation
and dismantling is of utmost importance, coupled with
re-usability and flexibility. All attributes which t3 has in
abundance. Large sets can be installed and dismantled
within 24 hours. The fact that the system can be easily
re-configured and the appearance drastically changed
by replacing the graphics means that t3 is absolutely
ideal for the events industry. Pop-up Photo booths are
a speciality of T3 because of their rigidity and ease of
installation and dismantling.
Very large frameworks can be transported at low cost
worldwide, especially when using fabric graphics, this of
course adds to the cost effectiveness of the product.

15
Plinths/Counters/Towers
Tecna has two systems to construct plinths
counters and towers; Airframe and Ultralite.
Airframe is used when high strength is required.
Ultralite when lower cost and light weight are
the prime requirements. Both products use the
same connector and generally the graphics are
attached with Velcro. All the structures can be
easily and cost effectively illuminated, adding
visual appeal to any stand or display. They can
be covered in roll up, rigid or fabric graphics,
with shelving and doors easily incorporated.

Lighting
T3 can easily be externally or internally
illuminated. Tecna has Tungsten and LED
spotlights with clamps to fit onto tubes and
a connector fitting to easily attach to the
framework.
18
Tecna also supplies the revolutionary Wandlite
LED tube. This is virtually unbreakable, very
lightweight and available in a number of stock
lengths. It’s also available in RGB, which
means multi-colours with flashing options
controlled by an infra-red remote control.
