Why Custom Framing? Although a good artistic eye is something that can't be taught, there are certain rules of custom framing which lead to good design that can. When followed, these guidelines, well known to your custom framer, produce a beautiful, well-balanced framing presentation that enhances the work without overpowering it. For example, did you know the width of the mat border should never match the width of the frame? This tends to draw the eye away from the art they surround. Or that a poorly placed decorative element, such as a V-groove, can detract from the beauty of the finished package? Good design based on commonly accepted framing principles is one of the many reasons to custom frame. Protecting Your Artwork Perhaps the best reason to custom frame your personal and well-loved works of art is that a professional picture framer has the skills and materials necessary to preserve and protect them as closely as possible to their original condition. Acid and lignin free mat and mount boards like Crescent and Artique Conservation grade matting contain no impurities which can damage the art they surround. Special UV-filtering glazing such as Tru Vue Conservation Series Glass featuring TruGuard UV Protection can be used to protect art from irreversible damage caused by light exposure. Professional picture framers have the training and skills required to use these materials to beautifully present your treasured items in a way that will not only enhance their appearance, but protect them for your enjoyment for years to come.
