Preservation
Every component in your custom picture framing project—from mouldings and matboards to glass and mounting—is carefully selected to ensure the longevity and protection of your cherished pieces.
Design & Selection
Designing your custom picture frame involves many decisions. At i frameit !, we guide you in choosing the best materials—mouldings, matboards, glass, and mounting options—to perfectly showcase your piece.
Glazing/Glass Choices
01
The goal, always, is to provide quality that preserves your artwork to last for future generations. The glass covering used on your project is critical to protecting the colors, signatures, and ultimately, the value of your artwork.
LIGHT, whether it comes from sunlight or overhead lighting, is most damaging to any wall decor when not protected. Guidance is given on the best choice of glazing.
Conservation glass provides 99% UV protection, and Museum glass offering the same UV protection, along with amazing clarity.
Matting Quality Choices
02
The highest quality matboards are available in an array of colors, textures, and thicknesses. Combinations are endless to allow for a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
Perhaps a single 8-ply mat enhances your more contemporary piece, and then a fun and colorful photograph pops with a triple mat combination. Let us help you decide!
Texture is an interesting visual addition to a fine art print, be it linen, silk, or suede. And don’t stop there… adding that metallic fillet adds an elegant and dimensional touch. The choice is yours to make!
Mounting of Art, Memorabilia, Needlework
03
Various techniques of attaching your project within a frame are available. The appropriate mount is most important to protect the value and the appearance of your framing project.
Today’s clientele is interested in framing and displaying just about everything! It’s not just the traditional paper or canvas art or a photograph. Consider ALL of the possibilities… and they each require a very specific and different mounting method.
