Before contacting us with any questions please read through the answers to the most common questions asked. If you still can't find the answer you require please use our Customer Contact Form. Custom Framing Information Whats included in the price?
All frames are supplied with 2mm acrylic glazing or clear glass(depending on frame size and user selection), MDF backing board and hanging fixtures as standard, any other optional extras you add such as mounts, backing & conservation upgrades will be added to the total frame price. VAT & delivery charges will be added when you checkout.
Tell me more about the Acrylic Glazing.
The 2mm Acrylic glazing we use 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. WE DO NOT USE CHEAP PERSPEX.
PLEASE NOTE: The Acrylic Glaszing we use has a protective film on it(usually green). This film is on both sides and will need to be peeled off prior to fitting your picture. If you do not remove the film from BOTH sides the acrylic will appear scratched. 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, Can I order these as well?
By using our state of art interactive framing tool you can add upto 2 mounts & conservation materials. Click Here To Try It Out - It's Free & Easy To Use. When ordering mounts please double check your measurements and ensure you have allowed for an overlap of the image. We do not make allowances when cutting mounts and mistakes cannot be rectified afterwards.
I need advise on framing something a bit different such as a football shirt or a valuable cross stitch.
We are an online business and it is very difficult for us to give advice on framing something we cannot see. We never want to turn away business but we are an honest company and would normally recommend you visit a reputable local framer for any work you do not feel confident doing or do not have the expertise to do.
