Why a custom framer for your art?
A frame is a frame you might think, but framing actually involves a lot more than just the frame! You can find a variety of frames online or at big box stores these days. But now you have put hours into your painting, obtained your certificate after much study or finally managed to buy that beautiful work of art. Surely that deserves a different kind of attention to really make it look good on the wall?
Whereas the online products are often mass-produced from cheap materials, the specialised or artisanal framer pays a lot of attention to quality and your project. He takes the time to see how a piece can be put on a figurative pedestal. How it will look best in your interior. How it will literally become a picture on the wall...
He also knows how to value the work to be framed and how to handle it. A regular poster will generally be framed differently from original art. A specialised framer will be able to advise you on working with high-quality materials so that your work can be framed in a protected, preserved manner. Then you will enjoy it not only now but for many, many years.
Conservation framing ensures that framed original art retains its value for the future. Conservation framing relates to the matboards used, other types of cardboard, mounting materials and types of glass. Everyone is familiar with the ordinary clear glass as it comes in almost every standard frame. But did you know about the existence of modern museum glass? A glass that hardly reflects and can protect your work from harmful UV radiation?
