Where do you find so many frame styles?
Question:
What are conservation quality materials?
Answer: We use conservation quality materials in our framing
projects unless you request otherwise.
Conservation quality mats aid in protecting the
framed art or object and the bevels will not yellow over time.
We have a wide variety of colors and textures to enhance
your framing project. Whether you want a classic look or
something new & trendy we can help you to design the best
frame package to fit your personal style.
Conservation glass has a 97% UV filter which helps
to prevent fading. Even low light levels can cause art to fade and
less expensive art often fades more quickly.
Question:
Why is custom framing so expensive?
Answer:
The process of custom framing involves quality materials
and sound knowledge in assembling these materials. Custom framing
is labor intensive, and requires skills, training and tools that
are specialized. Obviously, the size of an item will influence the
price, but also the type of mounting, glass and other variables
all contribute. Compared to other custom made items, window
treatments or furniture for example, custom framing is actually
modestly priced. A well executed custom framed art piece
will last many years for you and your family to enjoy.
Remember also, that a poorly
designed frame may actually do the artwork harm and detract from
the presentation.
Question:
Where do you find so many frame styles?
Answer:
Locating exciting, new framing sources is an interesting, but never-ending
task.

Roma and many others.
