Services
Custom Picture Framing
Our custom framing service creates bespoke solutions using premium materials to protect and showcase photographs, artwork, and memorabilia. Each frame is crafted to client specifications while maintaining structural integrity. Our expertise ensures optimal presentation through careful consideration of environmental factors and material compatibility.
Conservation Framing
Specialist conservation techniques preserve valuable items using reversible materials that meet museum standards. This service protects limited editions and historical pieces from degradation while maintaining original condition. Our methods include acid-free mounts and UV-filtering glazing to prevent long-term damage.
Photo Mounting
Professional mounting services secure photographs on archival foamcore backing to prevent warping. We use conservation hinging for valuable prints to allow removal without damage. Our process maintains image quality through controlled adhesion techniques and protective spacing from glass surfaces.
Matboard Edging
Precision-cut matboards create visual separation between artwork and frame while protecting surface integrity. Available in multiple colours and textures, our mats enhance presentation through dimensional contrast. We ensure proper spacing to prevent contact with glazing materials.
UV Protective Glass
Specialist UV-filtering glass prevents fading and deterioration of sensitive materials. This service protects colour integrity in photographs and artwork exposed to light sources. We install protective barriers that maintain clarity while blocking harmful radiation wavelengths.

Very kind and knowledgeable staff. I haven't picked up my painting yet, but I expect good things.
Update--my painting turned out beautiful! They did a wonderful job helping me select the frame and it looks great! Worth the money for prized possessions.
