There are other worded options please see on Jeff's website. The prints are A2 in size, this one I framed for myself, it has a double mount with a recycled frame that I'd had in stock for a while.
I have also framed another one which will be a charity raffle prize at our 40th anniversary reunion on Saturday.

A customer recently asked me to frame a print in a refurbished gold frame, the frame was roughly 140 x 80 cm, the frame was to big for both the glass and mount board in stock, the customer was happy for me to dismantle the frame and recut it, before making the double mount. I think it makes quite a statement.

Focal Frames has had new UPVC doors fitted, adding more natural light into the workshop. Please note this is a workshop not a gallery. If you require a picture frame made please contact me for an appointment, email preferred.

These L-shaped mouldings are perfect for framing new or refurbishing old canvases

The finished result will give the interesting illusion of the artwork floating within the frame!

TruVue Glass or Standard 2mm Picture Glass
TruVue glass is anti-reflective offering a greater amount of clarity, it also offers UV protection, but is it worth it. It comes at a price, for example, an A2 picture (841mm x 594mm) with a moderately priced frame would set you back about £75, replace the standard picture glass with TruVue UV92 and the price increases to nearer £200. So what does it do, it allows you to put the picture in natural light without the picture becoming faded over a longer period of time, it also stops any reflections making the picture appear clearer. At the end of the day it is whether the artwork your having framed is of value, giclée prints for example are reasonably colour fast and should last you a lifetime and remain fairly stable behind standard glass for 80 years or so if placed on a wall out of direct sunlight.
