Canvas Stretching
Get your canvas stretched right, tight, and outta sight! Canvas stretching is the process of mounting a canvas onto a stretcher bar frame for hanging or framing. It involves stretching the canvas around the frame, leaving a 2-3 inch blank canvas around the image.
-
Floater Frames
A floating frame enhances the visual appeal of artwork by creating the illusion of it floating within the frame. This effect is achieved by leaving a gap between the frame and the artwork, adding depth and dimension to the display. While commonly used for canvas prints, it can also be applied to other types of artwork.
-
Shadowboxes
A shadow box frame is a specialized display case designed to enhance the visual depth of artwork. It features a fixed gap between the glass and the artwork, creating a unique sense of dimension. These frames are versatile and can be used to showcase both traditional flat artworks and three-dimensional pieces like memorabilia and textured art.
-
Multiple Mat Boards
Elevate your artwork presentation by incorporating colored or fabric-wrapped boards. These boards serve a dual purpose - they provide a space between your artwork and glazing, while also delivering a smooth visual transition between your moulding and art.

Preservation framing, also known as conservation framing, is the skilled approach to framing valuable art and artifacts without causing permanent alterations. The goal is to ensure that when removed from the frame, items show no evidence of being framed, preserving their long-term value. Conservation treatment varies based on the item's nature, with options like dry mounting for sentimental posters and the use of acid-free mats and UV-protective glazing to prevent deterioration. Our knowledgeable designer Christie will guide you through suitable conservation practices for your precious items.

Two mats are common—there's a broad outer one and a sliver of inner mat peeking out. Choose the outer mat color to make the image feel larger and the inner one to highlight colors in your artwork. Sometimes, no mat is needed, and other times, three, four, or even six mats might work for added depth and colors. No strict rules here; it depends on your artwork and budget. Remember, matting should always enhance, not overshadow, the artwork.ption
