FAQs
All of the frames we make are individually designed to your requirements.
We offer you a free, no obligation consultation when you come to our shop, where by you bring the item(s) you would like to have framed in and we will discuss your requirements.
This will include the sort of budget you have in mind, your personal taste and design ideas, where you plan to display it and how much protection you would like built into the frame to protect the item.
If you don’t know where to start we will assist you by asking you some helpful questions so that we understand your requirements and we can then guide you through the process using our extensive frame design experience. You can see the design options for yourself before you choose with the help of the wide range of mount, moulding and glass samples we have available in the shop.
Once we have got it right, we will price it up for you instantly.
We can only give you an accurate price once we have seen what you would like to have framed, measured it and discussed the design and framing package with you.
