Scoop Design Mahogany Frame With Double Mat

The cover (or “glazing material”) is a key part of any frame– custom or otherwise– as this is what allows you to see your special art or photo inside. Just as the backing material of your frame needs to preserve the integrity of your art, the cover should not only allow you to clearly view it, but also protect it.

We offer standard and non-glare acrylic glass.

Clear or Standard  Acrylic Glass Finish

Clear finish, which is the most conventional, and would be ideal for most art. It would be like looking through a window. However, the clear finish is reflective, and it could cause glare if placed near a window, where the sun would shine through.

Non-Glare Acrylic Glass Finish

If glare from sunshine is an issue, we would recommend using non-glare. Non-glare acrylic will also diffuse sunlight that hits it, which would make your artwork more viewable if it’s near a window.

Not only is acrylic glass the industry standard and contains more UV protection, but chances are, in the future you will have to move and acrylic glass is both lighter and less breakable compared to glass.

Provide the best support for mounting valuable art, certificates, diploma and photographs with these acid free foam boards.

Acid-Free Foam Board is the answer for professional framers, photographers, artists, and craftspeople who are concerned about preserving their work. The surface is completely acid-free and buffered to maintain its neutral level of pH. The core is also chemically inert.

A double mat is two mats put together, but with a slightly larger opening on the top mat.

This difference (the amount of the bottom mat board showing under the top mat) is called the "reveal".

When ordering, define the exact reveal you require.  A common reveal is 0.1875" which shows a solid colour of about 0.125" once the bevel edge is cut.
