Assorted Custom Frames
It’s always a tough decision when it comes time to frame a favorite photo or piece of art. Although many people jump at the chance to buy an inexpensive “ready made” frame, a professionally installed custom frame is going to be the better choice in the long run.
Many people and artists wonder why they should fork over the extra money to get their items custom framed. It’s no secret that having artwork framed by a professional will cost more money, but there are two very important reasons to have it done, namely presentation and protection.
As far as presentation goes, people need to understand that a frame is an extension of the artwork. A bad frame can make an amazing painting look drab or incomplete. Custom framing gives the customer the control to pick out the exact frame and mats (of which there are thousands) and the type of glass to ensure their work is complimented by the framing. When a customer decides to frame through Unique Gallery, our professional custom framer (Dan) will always take the time to make recommendations while educating the customer on framing. After all, it is your money and not only do you deserve a fantastic frame, but you deserve to know the whys and whats of custom framing. When it’s done properly, custom framing can help bring a piece of art to a new dimension of presentation. The frame becomes a beautiful addition to the artwork, rather than just a way to hang it on a wall.
The other reason to have your artwork professionally framed is for protection. Sometimes we forget that art, like anything else, degrades over time. Most of us buy art with the intention of keeping it throughout our lives and passing it on to our children, or sometimes we purchase as an investment and look to re-sell when the art gains value. So the last thing you want is for the piece that cost so much to fall apart or appear weathered. This is where custom framing comes in. A professional frame doesn’t cost more money just because it looks good, but because it protects the work. When done properly it can protect it for a long time and dramatically increase the life and appearance of the artwork.
For example, let’s say you were having a watercolor painting framed. Many people think that all that needs to be done is to pick a mat, slap a piece of glass on, and pick a frame that looks nice. But they’re wrong. The glass selection is very important. Glass is one of the most expensive components in a custom framing. There are several different types of glass, but just like anything else, the better the glass the more expensive it will be. It is easy to buy some washed clear glass for $20, but that washed glass isn’t going to protect your work. The biggest harm to artwork is UV exposure. If the glass used isn’t UV protected, the color of the work will de-saturate, and it will yellow and age very quickly. Soon, your piece of purchased art is disfigured and worthless.
Mats are also essential in custom framing. Some people don’t understand why a mat is even required. There needs to be space between the work and the glass. Over time, the piece can expand, and if it touches the glass for any length of time, it can ruin the artwork. In addition to providing space, the mats are also to be acid-free just like the foam backing behind the piece to ensure complete protection. If it isn’t acid-free, the piece will yellow and fade sooner. The right combination of superior materials will keep your art looking new for much longer. Too often, the cost of custom framing keeps collectors and artists from properly protecting their precious pieces, and they end up fading and being worthless a couple of years later.
Having a work professionally framed is a necessary investment if you want to present and protect your precious photos and paintings. Spending the money on the right custom framing procedures now, will leave you with a stunning piece that will last for your children to put on their walls.
There is a new addition to Unique Gallery’s Framing Services. We now offer dry mounting. Dry mounting is a permanent mounting process where the art is adhered to foam core or a board, using heat and pressure. A tissue adhesive is placed between the art and the mounting board. This combination is then inserted into a roller press and heated up to activate the adhesive while the press applies pressure. Gloss, matte, and canvas finish laminates are also available. Dry mounting is used when the aesthetic appearance of the art warrants it to be flat. Photographs, movie posters, and art posters can be dry mounted. Dry mounting with laminates can eliminate the need for framing with glass and mattes, so it looks great and costs less.
Unique Gallery provides the best prices and customer service on Custom Framing in the Grande Prairie area - guaranteed. We can frame almost anything and we do it in a timely fashion. With our professionally certified staff, we ensure your items are framed to last. We hope to see you soon for all your custom framing needs!
