About Framing

Although this work is acrylic on board and would normally be framed using a float frame, this picture is special and has been framed with matt board and a black wooden frame with glass.

This artwork was framed at Hang It picture framing.

Float frames sit AROUND the artwork, rather than covering over the edges. They give the illusion that the art block is floating within a frame, like a shallow open box. Float frames are typically used around stretched canvas or wooden boards. We usually leave a 5mm – 10mm space around the art, which suggests the artwork is “floating” within the box. Float frames can only be used when glass is not required.

When an artwork is on paper or surrounded by cardboard matting (the mount), it will need to be protected by glass. In this case a traditional frame is needed to hold the glass in place. At Hang It we have a wide choice of frame mouldings, matt colours and designs and types of glass. We are always happy to help you with your selection.
