Custom Picture Frames: Unique Pieces of Art



You can do a lot with store-bought picture frames, but they cannot offer the same flexibility as custom designed frames unless you are very handy with crafting tools. While it is easy enough to personalise or customise a standard-size picture frame, you only get to work with so much material to make it into the style or design you envisioned. Worse yet, there is very little room for error. The good news is, you can have custom-designed frames made. They give you all the freedom in the world in terms of design, material, and dimensions, which is very critical when framing unique, irregularly sized pieces of art.

Personalise your workspace with custom framing down to the very last detail. This means you can choose the very material, texture, type of matting/mounting, and even the type of glass to be used to craft the frame. Perhaps most importantly, you get to specify dimensions—which is the biggest disadvantage of standard-size frames.

Having precious artwork custom framed also gives you the advantage of professional handling, especially when you are dealing with old pieces. Re-framing an heirloom art, for instance, requires meticulous work, while certain types of canvases need a different treatment than charcoal sketches or needlework. These kinds of framing projects definitely require expert help. Professional custom framers can help you preserve your cherished art pieces and recommend the best frame types to ensure their longevity.

Additionally, professional framers not only possess, but also know how to use specialised tools, to ensure the proper handling of your artwork. Combining their skills and techniques, you end up with a high quality product, which not only displays your art elegantly, but also protects it from further damage. You may request to use UV-protected glass on the frame to make sure, that the artwork will resist fading due to ultra violet light. Custom framers will even give you the freedom to choose from unlimited choices of matting, moulding, and other frame materials.
