What makes the beMatrix frame so loved?
You probably ended up on this page because you are investigating the advantages of a modular aluminium frame system. That’s great news. Let us show you what makes the beMatrix frame so popular and loved.
Building benefits with beMatrix frames
62 grid, no gap
All dimensions of the b62 frame system are based on the perfect 62 × 62 mm grid.
Lightweight
One standard b62 922 x 2480 mm aluminium frame weighs 7,175 kg.
Long life cycle
b62 frames can be used up to 200 times, in all kinds of configurations. Our frames are welded and therefore extremely strong.
ClimatePartner
All frames produced on the automatic line are ClimatePartner Certified.
Sustainability first
The frames look similar to anodised frames but have an ECO+ finish. Anodising is an extremely polluting process. Our frames are 100% aluminium.
Walls, ceilings, floors
Create any shape imaginable and toolless. It harmoniously blends into one.
Strong VELCRO®
The same VELCRO® solution is used for curved or straight walls, ceilings and floors.
Highest quality
Everything is produced in-house, we are in control of every step. beMatrix is ISO 9001 certified.
The beMatrix grid
Why we changed from 55 to 62
55 mm grid
A 55 frame is thinner than a 62 frame. All dimensions of the 55 mm frame system are based on the 62 x 62 mm grid. When building a construction with 55 mm frames in a 62 mm grid, you always end up with gaps and instability.
The more you build, the more you need to mind the gap. This results in investing in extra parts to solve these issues and offer a nicely finished stand.
62 mm grid
All dimensions of the b62 frame system are based on the perfect 62 × 62 mm grid. The width, length and height of the stands that have been designed and built with b62 frames are always multiples of 62.
Every construction fits exactly – right down to the last millimetre – in all directions and in any combination. You have no unsightly gaps between the frames.
55 mm grid
When drilling the 31 mm holes into the metal extrusion, the profile is too narrow. This results in holes being drilled through the SEG channel, leading to light-bleed. Due to the compromised channel, you need special connectors that are installed in the exact right angle. If not, your SEG will have unsightly bulges. That’s not our thing. We prefer a seamless finish, what isn't and will never be possible with 55 mm frames.
62 mm grid
With the b62 frame you finish your design with panels, textiles or any creative idea in between. Whatever you choose, the b62 frames ensure a nice and seamless finish without gaps or light bleed.
Frame DNA
Welded
Our frames are welded and not glued, so we don’t need steel brackets in every corner to keep the profiles together. Our corners never break. A weld is flexible and can withstand significant pressure, whereas a glued connection is more likely to break under stress.
Did you know welded frames are stronger than glued frames? This makes our frame safe to build horizontal loads e.g. ceilings.
b62 frames can be used over 200 times, in all kinds of configurations. This long-life cycle lowers the demand for raw materials and increases the return on investment for our customers.
Lightweight
One b62 922 x 2480 mm aluminium frame weighs 7,175 kg. That's about 15% less than most other solutions in the market. Another perk: in some countries you save money on drayage costs with our lightweight frame.
ECO+ finish
We don't anodise frames. Though the first impression of an anodised frame is good, this finish has a huge downside. Anodising is one of the most toxic surface treatments out there.
Instead, beMatrix introduced the ECO+ finish. The surface treatment is part of our in-house production process, less transportation needed and shorter lead times. We reduced the footprint of our frame.
Frames are made to be used over and over again. Even though the frames are loved, sometimes they get damaged. With the ECO+ finish you refurbish your frames and make them look as good as new.
At the end of the lifecycle, the frame is 100 % aluminium and fully recyclable.
The ECO+ finish is applied after sawing and milling, no burrs are left.
VELCRO®
VELCRO® is known on a global scale for its high-quality fastener solutions. As we always want to provide the best possible solution to our customers, we collaborated with VELCRO® to co-develop a custom-made more sticky solution just for our frames! The same VELCRO® solution is used for straight walls, curved walls or to finish a ceiling.
The VELCRO® is applied on top of the profiles. If needed, you can refurbish your frame. Just by replacing the used with new VELCRO®, it’s as good as new. At the end of the lifecycle, the VELCRO® needs to be removed before recycling. Why would we make that hard?
The most sustainable in the market
We know this is a serious claim.
At its core, a reusable aluminium frame is already a sustainable solution. Over the past 3 years we have been reducing the footprint of our frame to an absolute minimum and we compensate what cannot be avoided. Need some evidence?
100% green power
Since 2019 our production runs entirely on green power.
78,5% recycled aluminium
The profiles used to construct a frame on our automatic line consist of 78.5% recycled aluminium.
ClimatePartner Certified frame
beMatrix is the only modular frame solution in the market with a ClimatePartner certification.
Our 12 most popular frames are ClimatePartner Certified, covering no less than 90% of all ECO+ frames produced in scope. Doing so, we reduce our emissions by more than 9.000 tonnes per year.
Obtaining a ClimatePartner Certified frame is an ongoing process focused on CO2 reduction. First, the carbon footprint was calculated for each product. Then, reduction targets were set to reduce CO2 emissions as much as possible. These reduction measures were implemented successfully.
Any remaining CO2 emissions are neutralised by funding climate projects. By applying a label to each aluminium frame involved, we transparently communicate our impact to you.
What our customers
say about beMatrix products.
b62 seals the deal: our award-winning frame
Today we produce much more than just frames! Think about doors, construction profiles, load-bearing solutions, electronics… But everything in beMatrix – still and always - centres around the 62mm grid!
