The 4 biggest reasons to opt for online framing

Four reasons to order a frame online instead of buying ready-made: better protection, a proper fit, personal advice and fast delivery without cut corners.

Whether it's a poster, a holiday print or a piece of art you chose with care, finding the right frame can take time.

A framed picture

Ready-made frames from the high street often have attractive price tags. But is it worth the risk of damage to your artwork, or a frame that falls apart over time? With online framing you get a seamless process from the moment you order until the frame arrives at your door, plus top-quality materials and a wealth of experience. Here are the four main reasons to order online.

1. It protects your artwork

Most things that touch your artwork can cause it to deteriorate or fade over time.

  • Mount. Our Made-To-Measure Picture Frames are built by hand, with mount board chosen to reduce the yellowing of paper-based artwork.
  • Backing. The backing behind your artwork keeps out dust and other particles.
  • Glazing. The protective front is essential for most framing. We use high-quality, shatter-resistant acrylic, chosen to show the artwork at its best and add another layer of protection.

2. The frame fits the art, not the other way round

You wouldn't buy shoes that don't fit, and the same goes for a frame. Ready-made frames can be cheaper, but your options are limited if your piece is an odd size, or if a different style or treatment would suit it better.

3. The service is personal

When you buy a frame from a general shop, you are more or less on your own. That isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes you walk away with a frame that enhances what you put in it, without spending much.

The trouble comes when you can't picture how artwork and frame will come together. That is where a professional is invaluable. We can advise on the colours and materials that will give your piece the wow factor.

If you already know what you want, that's great too. With our Multi Aperture Picture Frame & Mount Designer you choose the layout and size, the mounts, the frame, the glazing and any extras.

Have something unusual to frame, such as a guitar, a football shirt or a pair of drumsticks? We love bespoke orders and will work with you to bring the idea to life.

4. It's fast, without cutting corners

A shop-bought frame offers instant gratification. But a custom-made frame doesn't mean waiting weeks or months. Ours are handcrafted, assembled and sent out in no time, even during holiday periods. Frames are delivered within a week. Allow a little longer if you have posted items to us for framing.

We always go the extra mile to make sure you are happy with the result and receive it on time. If you have your print or image dimensions handy, take a look at our Digital Printing and Framing Services, or contact us for some free recommendations.
