FEATURED CUSTOMER: Andrea Pramuk
Framing large oversize work requires that your studio layout is well organized. In addition you need to have the proper equipment and tools. Pramuk takes us into her studio to show us how she does her framing for an exhbition.
Additional tip:
She did tell us that the adjustable sawhorses make all the difference in her workspace for both framing and painting big. They are not a huge investment ($35-$50/pair) and they fold up when she's not working in the big area of the space.
Ordering CUSTOM FRAMES
We have designed our ordering section to include step by step instructions for ordering frames and all of our components. We have added photos, information, and calculators to ensure your order is customized to your specifications. Each step can be expanded to show you all of your options.
Product Section
If you are not sure which profile would be best to frame your artwork, we have additional photographs and detailed descriptions of when each profile is most commonly used to ensure that you select the best frame for your exhibition.
The 101 profile is our most popular. It is used for matted presentations as well as "float" presentations on mat board. These custom wood frames are designed to accommodate a 1/2" spacer and a 3/4" strainer. When combined with a strainer they can be used on very large pictures. All our gallery frames are available in all of our woods and finishes.

WATER BASED FINISHES
Metropolitan has completely converted from lacquer-based to water-based finishes. In addition to being more ecologically friendly, the finishes are more natural and do not yellow with age.
