Whether it’s a cherished family photo, an investment in fine art, or a sentimental piece of memorabilia, your precious items deserve the best protection. Custom framing not only enhances the appearance of your artwork but also plays a critical role in preserving it for years to come.
Why Protection Matters
Without proper protection, artwork and photographs can be vulnerable to damage from light, moisture, and pollutants. Over time, this can result in fading, yellowing, or even complete deterioration of the piece. A well-crafted custom frame, designed with conservation in mind, helps to safeguard against these threats.
UV-Protective Glass
One of the most important components in custom framing is UV-protective glass. Harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause fading and discolouration of artworks and photographs. By choosing UV-blocking glass or acrylic, you can significantly reduce the risk of this damage, ensuring that the vibrancy of your piece is maintained over time.
Acid-Free Materials
Using acid-free matting and backing materials is another key aspect of preserving your artwork. Regular paper or cardboard contains acids that can transfer to your art, causing it to discolour and deteriorate. Acid-free materials are specifically designed to prevent this, providing a safe and long-lasting environment for your pieces.
Custom Framing for a Perfect Fit
Not all frames are created equal. Pre-made frames might seem convenient, but they often fail to offer the precision and protection that a custom frame provides. At Frames Now, we tailor each frame to the specific dimensions of your artwork, ensuring a snug fit that helps prevent warping or movement inside the frame.
Enhancing and Protecting the Beauty of Your Art
Beyond protection, custom framing enhances the aesthetic appeal of your piece. With a wide selection of frame styles and finishes, we can help you find the perfect frame to complement your artwork or photo, allowing it to shine while staying protected from external elements.
