When it comes to framing your precious artwork or photography, choosing the best framing materials to support its overall presentation is essential. Custom framing options, particularly those available online, can span a wide array of options—making it difficult to determine which ones are the right choice for your framing needs and preferences. One easy way to overcome this challenge is by ordering samples of the various framing materials you’re considering.
Allowing for a gap between your work and its framing treatment’s acrylic is about more than simply showcasing a stylish accent; doing so also protects against issues that can negatively impact your piece, such as mold growth, paper buckling, image transfer and adhesion to the acrylic.
Given the importance of preserving one’s works of art or photography, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of the role framing treatments play in this effort. Not all frame types and materials feature the same level of protection for effectively preserving a work’s essence and quality. That said, the framing products you choose should depend on the specific project at hand, your overall budget and your goals for displaying and preserving the piece.
