Custom Framing Options
Design and Material Choices
Custom framing begins with a consultation about art style, room decor, and budget. Clients choose frame profiles, finishes, and mat colors while learning how different materials affect visibility and preservation.
Professional Mounting Techniques
Using archival-quality adhesives and conservation hinges, each piece is mounted to prevent shifting and reduce contact with glass. Proper spacing and sealing protect against moisture and contaminants that can damage artwork over time.
Turnaround and Delivery
Scheduling and Production
Clear scheduling helps clients align framing with events, exhibitions, or office refreshes. Accurate time estimates account for cutting, beveling, sealing, and final inspection so expectations stay realistic.
Pricing and Value
Cost Breakdown and Transparency
