The Value of Custom Framing

Dollar for dollar custom framing is one of the best values you will find. A quality custom frame
design will typically outlast cars, carpeting, sofas, or business suits purchased at the same time. Because custom framing generally hangs on the wall, it takes little abuse. All of the other things mentioned here get dented, scratched, stained, etc. because of all the contact they have with other things around them.

Many of us think nothing of spending one hundred dollars for a nice dinner out for two. Those
types of dining experiences may only last 60 minutes, making the cost $1.60 per minute. If you
send someone a $50 floral arrangement, it will probably look good for five days, making its cost
$10 per day. Many pieces of art or family photos that were custom framed 50 years ago are still
hanging on walls today. At that rate, a $200 investment in good quality custom framing is just $4
per year, making it just over one cent per day.

The key to a long-lasting frame design is quality framing materials and a classically styled design that will endure through ever-changing design trends. The phrase, ''you get what you pay for," certainly applies to custom framing. Inexpensive frame mouldings are more prone to warping, fading and peeling. Better quality frames are made from superior materials and include extra steps to avoid those problems and more. Always use conservation grade glass to help protect your art as much as possible from harmful UV rays. Conservation matting and backing boards are also needed to protect the art from the acids found in lesser materials that can cause discoloration.
