Information Centre - The Picture Framing Experts

All frames are supplied with 2mm acrylic glass, MDF backing board & hanging fixtures as standard, any other optional extras you add such as mounts, slips, frame liners, conservation upgrades will be added to the total frame price. VAT & Delivery charges @ £10 per order will be added when you checkout.

Tell me more about the Acrylic Glass.

We only use 2mm Acrylic glass with all custom made picture frames. This glazing is crystal clear, scratch resistant and UV stabilised which means it won't go yellow with age. It is also firm enough to prevent a rippled effect which can be noticed in low budget perspex glazed frames.
PLEASE NOTE: The Acrylic Glass we use has a protective film on it(usually blue). This film is on both sides and will need to be peeled off prior to fitting your picture.

What is UV Glass?

The full name for our UV Glass is Tru Vue Conservation Clear Glass. It main benefits are that it blocks 98% of harmful UV rays and protects valuable or irreplaceable artwork from irreversible damage. It is an essential part of framing work to the Fine Art Trade Guild Conservation Level.

What quality mount board do you use?

The minimum quality of all the mount boards we use meets the Fine Art Trade Guild Commended Framing Level and are suitable for most everyday framing work. For more valuable or irreplaceable work you can opt for Conservation or Museum Level mountboard. We do not use cheap standard level mountboard as with age it will discolour.

How do I measure my artwork so I know I order the right size?

For full measuring instructions please refer to our How To Measure page.

I need a mount, slip, frame liner as well, Can you manufacture these as well?

By using our state of art interactive framing tool you can add upto 3 mounts, frame liners, mount slips & conservation materials. Click Here To Try It Out - It's Free & Easy To Use.
