Where picture framing is concerned, there are several advantages and disadvantages of plastic glass glazing ( to glaze is to cover the surface of something with a pane or film of covering material ) over glass glazing in using it for indoor (as against outdoor) picture frames. For picture frames, the most common acrylic glazing material used is cast plastic rather than the extruded or 'continuous' type. The reason for this is that the former is of higher quality has less impurities and harder and thus a little harder to scratch. Nowadays ...

This is a similar work flow to other trades. Most mechanics aren't idle and waiting for a car to be brought in to be repaired. Normally they're ..

We don't know why (probably because we're picture framers) but the question "do custom picture frames come with cord or wire?" is still a frequently asked question from customers. And the answer has always been, and still is, yes. For very heavy picture frames, like heavy mirrors, we fit hanging chains.

This is particularly so with oil paintings and batiks or similar art bought for a few dollars at popular, overseas tourist holiday resorts. This art often comes in various media, shapes and ...

Should all art be conservation framed to lessen deterioration? We don't think so. In our many years of making picture frames and picture framing experience, by far the vast majority of prints, posters and allied art brought in by Customers for picture framing consists of inexpensive, ephemeral, decorative, mass-produced, tourism-related, commercial, mechanical reproductions. Most of these are cosmetic, decor items and, as such, likely to be discarded by Customers when these become unfashionable in as little as a few years.

If none of the artwork may be covered and absolutely everything, image and margins, must be visible, then rather than a picture frame, perhaps a clip frame would suit better than a picture frame. If the incidental coverage of the artwork is something a customer wants minimized then a skilled ...
