Materials We Use

For Materials we use

We use industry standard materials on all framing jobs.  Our materials are chosen for longevity and preservation of your artwork.  While acidic materials such as poster board and tape can yellow or damage art over time, our materials are acid free and our technique preserves the art while it is displayed.  Prices are subject to change, but here is preliminary selection for your education and comparison.

FRAMES

Frames – wholesaled from AMPF.com Denver CO, and LarsonJuhl.com also Denver CO.  We construct our custom frames in house, and pass the savings on to you rather than simply being the middle man for other frame builders.

Limited frames are made from scratch in our shop for a more rustic frame or custom works for stained glass as an example.

Stocked sizes are individually priced and bulk purchases of 9 foot “sticks”allow our prices to remain low.

MAT BOARD

Mat Board  We primarily use Crescent Premium mats that are acid and lignan free. They come in a range of colors up to 40”x 60”. Our mat boards are all hand cut in shop, so waste is minimized and you save on the cost of computer overhead and shipping. 

For standard 4 ply mat board up to 16X20in. $6.  Up to 20X32 $12. Up to 32×40 $20. Over 32×40 special order

First bevel window cut $10

Second bevel window cut $8

GLASS / GLAZING

Glass / Glazing we offer three types of glass suitable for frames. We use clear acrylic for very large pieces for weight and safety.  Our prices are guaranteed, if you find a lower price let us know. Canvas does not require glass, and if you have glass we can work with it!
