The Frame (Moulding)

  • The visible border that surrounds your artwork.

  • Available in wood, metal, or synthetic materials in a variety of colours and finishes.

  • Sets the tone of the piece — from modern minimalism to classic elegance.

Mount Board (Mat Board)

  • The border placed between the artwork and the frame.

  • Enhances presentation by creating space and balance.

  • Available in different colours and textures; acid-free options protect against yellowing.

Glass / Glazing

  • The protective layer over your artwork.

  • Options include standard glass, UV-protective glass, non-reflective glass, and acrylic glazing.

  • Helps safeguard against dust, fingerprints, and fading from sunlight.

Backing Board

  • The support layer behind your artwork.

  • Provides stability, keeping the piece flat and protected.

  • Acid-free and archival backings prevent damage over time.

Fixings & Hanging Hardware

  • Hooks, wires, and fittings designed to securely display your frame.

  • Ensures safety and balance when hung on the wall.

  • Customised to suit the weight and size of each framed piece.

Spacers (Optional)

  • Small inserts that create depth between the glass and the artwork.

  • Commonly used for canvases, 3D objects, or delicate pieces like charcoal drawings.

  • Prevents contact between the glass and the art surface.

Double Mat / Double Mount Board (Optional)

  • Uses two layers of mat board instead of one to create extra depth and dimension.

  • The bottom mat (often a contrasting colour) peeks through as a fine border around the artwork.

  • Adds sophistication and visual impact, especially for photographs, artwork prints, and certificates.

  • Helps draw the eye inward, making the artwork stand out even more.

  • Can be customised with colour combinations to complement both the art and the frame style.
