Frequently Asked Question
Our frame mouldings come is a variety of colours, textures and sizes. Two key options are between a painted finish or a bare natural wood. There is also a choice between being able to see the grain of the timer (open grain) or a smooth painted finish (closed grain)
Framing is largely an aesthetic choice. Customers often consider their existing frame styles, the decor of the wall they want to hang it on, and the style and colour of the artwork.
We have some set prices for common sizes on the page above. However, we can quickly provide a quote for any bespoke sizes
Framing is a craft that shouldn’t be rushed. 10 days is a typical turnaround for a bespoke picture frame.
Custom dimmensions is the stregth of bespoke framing. The only limiting factors are the maximum sizes of standard materials. In most cases there is a solution for you.
The key to conservation framing is that nothing potentially acidic touches the artwork. Using only conservation-grade mountboards helps us achieve this with every one of our frames. You can choose varying grades of protective glazing for additional protection from UV rays.
The glass and moulding can be cleaned with a damp cloth, using warm soapy water or glass cleaner. In our studio, we use a mix of water and isopropanol alcohol. A lint free cloth is ideal.
We provide both Glass and Acrylic options. In most scenarios the only advantage of acrylic (perspex) is that it can be shipped with far less chance of breaking. Glass is far harder to scratch but easier to smash.
We do offer the service of fitting a print into a frame that you provide. Assembling the image inside the frame, and cleaning the glass is labour intensive so we do charge for this service. Usually £15
We take a lot of pride in the quality of our work. If there were an issue with one of our frames we would want to rectify it. Just bring it back to the studio and we will get to work.
There are three key approaches to displaying a print in a frame.
Full Frame: means the image goes to the edge of the frame with no additional border or cut picture mount.
Picture Mount: This is the process of cutting a beveled aperture in a piece of mount board to match the size of your art piece.
Shadow Float Mount: This is the practice of mounting the image with an overhanging edge to create the effect of a floating print.
We are happy to take a look at your project, but we do specialise in art.
If you are printing an image to fit inside a frame you have purchased yourself you need to measure or take careful note of the dimensions of the glass or aperture in any provided mount. If you are not comfortable formatting the artwork to a set dimension make sure to ask our team for advice.
We have both UV-protective glass and anti-reflective options available. Both of these special order items need to be quoted separately.
Although the timbers used in the picture-framing industry should be sustainably sourced we would struggle to confirm the provenance of many of the materials we use. From a more holistic sustainability angle, we would hope these frames will spend at least a generation hanging in your home meaning land fill can be avoided.
