We're here to help you get the perfect fit for your custom frames and mounts. We assume basic measuring knowledge, but if you're unsure, contact us first or consult a local framer. We can't provide detailed phone/email advice due to the many variables involved.
Enter the 'Artwork Size' exactly as it will fit in the frame/mount (after any cropping or adjustments).
Use the exact outside Width X Height of the image.
A few
mm each side will be overlapped by the frame rebate.
Enter the exact size of the section you want visible.
You
will need to trim your print.
Use the full outside dimensions of the bordered image.
Measure only the printed area you want shown.
Use the outside Width X Height of the existing mount.
Measure the widest points (width X height) of the canvas.
Refers to the INTERNAL opening size at the back of the
frame(what fits inside:
glazing, artwork, backing). The actual opening size will be around 2-4mm larger than the frame
size to allow for some movement.
The frame size NEVER the visible front or
external dimensions.
Only shown for mount-only orders. Matches the outside of the mount board. If you are ordering frames separately, the external mount size should match the frame size. If you are ordering a mount to fit an existing frame, the external mount size should match the size of the glazing/backing in the current frame.
"To Take" adds ~3mm overlap per side so your artwork doesn't fall through(default option). "Exact" cuts precisely to your entered size (advanced option).
Enter your artwork size into our website and select a suitable picture frame.
We would manufacture your frame so artwork measuring the size entered will fit into the opening at the back of the frame.
So if your artwork measures 320 X 470mm, you would enter 320 X 470mm as your frame size - Easy!
* The actual opening size of the frame will be approx 2-4mm bigger than the stated size to allow for a small amount of movement.
** The lip/rebate of the frame will overlap the artwork by approximately 5mm on each side.
Enter your artwork size into our website and select a suitable picture frame and mount combination.
So if your artwork measures 250 X 190mm, you would enter 250 X 190mm in the size fields. We would manufacture the mount with an actual aperture of 244 X 184 so that it justs overlaps the image to allow it to be positioned correctly.
If you do not want us to make our standard 3mm adjustment on the border widths you can select the 'Cut aperture the exact size' advanced option during the order process. Doing so will mean the opening will be cut to the exact artwork size specified.
The frame size will be calculated by our software and depends on how wide you set the mount borders.
If you are purchasing a mount to fit a frame bought elsewhere you need to know the frame size(the glazing/backing size) of your current frame as well as the size of your artwork.
Simply enter the exact sizes of your artwork into the internal size fields. You then have the option to enter the width for each side of the mount, top, bottom, left and right. You will need to calculate manually how wide the mounts need to be to fit your frame opening size.
Please ensure the "External Mount Size" measurements on your order review match the actual opening size of your own frame from the back.
We will make a small 3mm adjustment to each mount width to ensure the artwork doesn't fall through the middle of the mount aperture.. So if you artwork measures 250 X 190mm, you would enter 250 X 190mm in the size fields, we would manufacture the mount so the actual aperture would be 244 X 184. This ensures the artwork doesn't fall through the mount opening.
You should enter the exact width and height of your canvas into our website. The default option
is for a canvas floater frame to include a 5-6mm shadow gap on each side between the frame and
your canvas. This means the actual opening size at the front of the canvas floater frame will be
approximately 10mm larger than the size you enter so there is a shadow gap between the frame and
canvas.
If you do not want any additional gap, you will need to deselect the 'Shadow Gap' option.
Deselecting the 'Shadow Gap' will mean the floater frame is manufactured 2-4mm larger than the
sizes entered, so your canvas just fits the frame.
You should also note the internal depth
of the canvas floater frame which is detailed within the product description, and ensure this is
suitable for the thickness of your canvas. It is perfectly normal for the thickness of your
canvas to be slightly more or less than the internal depth of the frame.
Our range of canvas picture frames are normal picture frame with deeper rebates, and are supplied without any glazing or backing. When measuring your canvas it is important to not presume that it will be square. Measure each outer edge of the stretched canvas, i.e. top, bottom, left and right, and use the larger of the two measurements(if there is a difference) when calculating the size you enter into our website. You should also consider any folded over canvas in the corners that will may also need to be allowed for in your measurements. We will manufacture the canvas picture frame so that a stretched canvas measuring the sizes entered will fit perfectly into the opening at the back of the frame with a small amount of movement.
A canvas stretcher bar assembly will be manufactured so the external size is within 0-2mm of the sizes entered. Stretching a canvas is considered a job that should only be carried out by someone with the experience and equipment to do so. Any such person should understand how to measure a canvas to calculate the size they need to order, taking into consideration any bleed or wrap around required.
