Custom Framing Capabilities

	FLOATED AND RAISED ARTWORK Floating and raising gives your piece an uninhibited feel, accentuating its edges and making it pop.
	RAISED MAT A raised mat adds depth and interest to your finished piece and compliments floated photos or artwork.
	SHADOWBOXES A shadowbox is a framed box that usually has a glass front. They are used for displaying and protecting valued items. Photos, golf balls and score cards, antiques, ceremonial programs, sports jerseys, books, collectibles, or any other item may be put into a shadowbox.
	FABRIC-WRAPPED MATS A fabric-wrapped mat adds color, texture, and elegance. Pick from our extensive collection of colors and textures or bring in your own!
	CUSTOM-SHAPED MAT CUTTING Our computerized mat cutter can cut any decorative corner, shape, or even text into a mat. A custom-shaped mat can enhance your artwork and add many more design options to a framing project.
	MULTIPLE WINDOWS Display pictures, documents, invitations, or even valued objects neatly, all within one frame. Multiple-window mats are the perfect way to document an event or memory.
	FILLETS A fillet is a thinner piece of frame moulding which can be stacked with a frame or line the opening of a matboard. A fillet will add a space, separation, or a decorative element to any framing project.
	LINERS A liner is fabric-covered moulding which offers a decorative alternative to matting and is ideal for pieces without glass.
	MARBLED PAPER Add flare to your framing using handmade marbled paper. A thin ornate line dresses up delicate pieces wich as botanical prints, while a thicker band gives an increased feel of importance or formality.
	FRENCH LINE & POWDER A French line is a hand-painted line around the edge of a mat window. Powder can also be used to slightly darken or lighten the mat on the inside of the French line.
	FABRIC MOUNTING Have a beautiful heirloom tucked away in the back of your closet? Framing a family member’s baby clothes, jersey, or your grandmother’s favorite shawl is a perfect way to preserve and protect your treasured items and enjoy them at the same time!
	CUSTOM STACKED FRAMES Stacking is combining two or more mouldings to create a single frame, adding dimension and distinction to framed work. A stacked moulding frame adds richness to paintings, large-scale pieces in particular.
	FINISHED-CORNER FRAMES These frames are custom-made to have seamless corners, ranging from perfectly smooth to beautifully carved. Finished-corner frames are completely hand-made to any specification.
	PLEXIGLASS BOXES A plexiglass box is a clear acrylic covering that encases a three dimensional piece. Plexiglass boxes are ideal for protecting and displaying objects whether on a wall or table.
	GLASS SANDWICHES A glass sandwich is the ideal way to display both sides of your piece at once. Glass sandwiches are also great for hanging on the wall, achieving a floating effect and using the color of your wall as part of your presentation.
	MIRRORS A mirror can add a sense of depth to any room by visually expanding the space. With over 1,000 different frame choices, we can create the perfect mirror in any size, from a small bathroom mirror to a 7-foot dressing mirror.
