What is custom framing and how does it differentiate from "ready-made" frames?
Custom framing allows you to preserve and showcase your artwork, photos, or memorabilia in a frame that’s uniquely tailored to your piece. Unlike ready-made frames, which come in fixed, standard sizes, custom framing is designed to fit your specific item’s dimensions and style. This provides greater flexibility in terms of frame style, materials, and finishes, ensuring your artwork is displayed in the best possible way.
How do I choose the right frame for my artwork, and what materials do you offer?
Our experts will guide you through the selection process, considering your artwork’s colours, size, and style to choose the perfect frame. We offer a wide selection of timber mouldings, matboards, and glazing options, including UV-protective glass and museum-grade glass. Additionally, we use archival materials and techniques to ensure long-term preservation and prevent deterioration over time. All frames are equipped with D-rings and wire for easy hanging, and we also offer additional advice to ensure your art is safely presented.
How much does custom framing cost and how do I get a quote?
Pricing for custom framing depends on several factors, such as the size of the item, the materials selected, and the complexity of the frame design. We offer a range of options to suit different budgets. You can call or email us for a quote or stop by our showroom with the piece you’d like framed. For all phone and email inquiries, please make sure you know what kind of framing service you want, as well as the size of the piece that’s getting framed.
