Services
Custom Art Framing
We create tailored framing solutions for paintings, prints, and artworks using acid-free materials and professional mounting techniques. Our specialists ensure each piece is protected while enhancing its visual impact through careful selection of frames, mats, and glazing options. With over 50 years of combined experience, we handle both traditional and contemporary pieces to meet individual client preferences.
Needlework Framing
Our specialists use conservation-grade methods to frame delicate needlework, cross-stitch, and tapestries. We employ acid-free backing and UV-protective glass to prevent deterioration while maintaining the textile's shape and integrity. With dedicated expertise in embroidery preservation, we ensure heirloom pieces receive professional treatment that complements modern interiors.
Sports Memorabilia Framing
We professionally frame jerseys, medals, and sports equipment using museum-grade techniques to preserve sentimental and valuable items. Our team incorporates display elements like plaques and photographs to tell personal stories while ensuring long-term protection. Specialised mounting methods maintain item condition without compromising visual presentation for home or office display.
Indigenous Art Framing
Our specialists handle indigenous artworks with cultural sensitivity using non-invasive framing techniques. We employ acid-free materials and protective glazing to preserve both canvas and print works while respecting traditional presentation requirements. Floating frame options accommodate irregular shapes common in indigenous art, ensuring proper support and visual enhancement for these culturally significant pieces.
Canvas Stretching
We professionally stretch and re-stretch canvas artworks using archival-quality stretcher bars and tensioning systems. Our process ensures even surface tension while protecting paint layers and fabric integrity. For overseas artworks on inferior materials, we assess viability for re-stretching or recommend alternative framing solutions to preserve the piece's artistic value and structural stability.

Absolutely first class framer! ATOS are not small backyard operators.They know the framing business really well through 40 years of experience and regardless of whether you have a small family heirloom to frame, are a high end interior designer or a state museum or art gallery, the service and attention to detail is the same. Took me a while to find them but boy am I happy with their service!

Outstanding service. The team at ATOS framed a number of signed soccer jerseys for me and they all look outstanding. Service was impeccable and the craftsmanship is second to none. I couldn't recommended highly enough.
