Two-Tone Light Walnut & Black Frame

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.

Acid-Free: Acid-free materials are more permanent and less likely to discolour over time.

Bevelled Edge: The 45-degree cut on a mat board. This allows about 1/16" of the core to be seen.

Mat Window: The opening in a mat board through which the image will show. The window is usually 1/8 to 1/2 inch smaller than the image so the image can be taped to the back of the mat. For example a 5 x 7 photo (exactly) should have a window of approximately 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches.
