Picture Framing Services
We offer a bespoke picture framing service with a fantastic range of frames and framing styles to choose from. We have been offering a framing service in Sunninghill for over 30 years and have framed some very interesting items in that time. From beautiful artwork, photographs, childrens paintings to football shirts, wedding bouquets, books, violins and tennis racquets to name a few of the amazing things we have been entrusted to frame.
In the Gallery you will see examples of different styles of framing to guide you in the style right for your artwork. There is a wide range of samples to help you make the right choice. We are open Tuesday to Saturday 9.30am to 5pm, drop in and we will be happy to assist.
WE ARE CREATIVE PICTURE FRAMERS WHO ARE EXPERTS IN FRAMING WITH 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE.
We pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest trends in picture framing as well as being skilled in traditional framing methods.
When you come into the gallery to get an item framed we take time in the consultation to understand what you want to achieve and use our experience to make sure that the best advice is given to you to get the result you want.
We have a fantastic range of frames available to choose from, we mainly use wood frames, but also have a range of metal frames that we can offer.
We regularly introduce new frames alongside our existing range, so we have a great choice whether you are looking for white, pewter, black gloss, shabby chic, candy and pastel colours, or a more traditional frame.
THE RANGE OF GLASS AVAILABLE NOW IS SO MUCH MORE THAN STANDARD GLASS OR NON-REFLECTIVE.
We are pleased to offer the Art Glass range of glass which has seen many advancements over the years, where your items can be protected from harmful UV rays, and be so pure in appearance that it is almost invisible.
Our standard glass that we have worked with for many years is 2mm float glass, this has always been a standard picture glass. However we are now happy to be able to offer a range of specialist glass that offers your artwork that bit more.
SPECIALIST GLASS
We stock Art Glass who produce a variety of Specialist Glass products:
AR70 – is our go to glass for your special items a 2.5mm float glass with a 70% UV protection and reflection control, such a clear glass it is hard to see it is there at all.
AR99 – when full UV protection is needed. This glass will protect your artwork from 99% of UV rays, the best protection available and a near invisible glass .
The image to the side shows the difference that Art Glass Water can make to an image, it really appears as if there is no glass in the frame. Come into the gallery to have a look at the sample, it is very impressive.
REGLAZE
If you’ve got broken glass in a favourite frame, bring it in to us, we will clean out the broken glass and replace it and have it looking as it was in no time.
MIRRORS
We are also able to offer mirrors both plain edge and bevelled edge to go into our range of frames, this means we can make them to the exact size that you require.
MOUNTING BRINGS DEPTH TO THE DESIGN
There are many different styles available in mounting, to bring out the best in your artwork. We have a large range of both neutral tones and strong coloured mount board to enhance your piece. There are samples of all of these styles in the gallery.
We are also able to cut multiple windows in a mount to go into one frame, this looks great for a range of framing such as, graduation photo and certificate, photo and descriptive title, wedding table plans, or a more stylish way to display a photo montage.
We can supply mount only if you wish to fit your artwork to your own frame.

Some of the most effective mounts we are offering at the moment are:
WE CAN STRETCH AND FIX YOUR CANVAS READY TO HANG ON THE WALL.
We will make a wooden sub frame to the size that you require and then hand stretch and fix the canvas to the sub frame before finishing the back of the frame so it is ready for you to put straight up.
FLOATING FRAME
For a more contemporary finish to a stretched canvas there is the floating frame style.
This puts a space between the stretched canvas and the frame to give the impression that the canvas is floating in the frame.
We can 3D Framing almost anything
Over the years we have been presented with many wonderful things to frame, so we have become experts in this field and have yet to come across anything that we cannot frame.
Items that we can frame:

- Masks
- Plates
- Medals
We do like to challenge our skills, so please talk to us about any item you would like to put in a frame.
