Custom Framing
Top Shot Printing + Framing provides creative and innovative design solutions that are tailored to meet each client’s expectations. With our extensive knowledge of art conservation principles and framing methods, we ensure your valuable piece of art will be framed to provide you with long term viewing pleasure.
Having a qualified builder as our Custom Framer allows us to take custom framing to the next level. We have never been presented with a framing job that has proven too difficult to design and manufacture.
Our customers feel reassured that the person dealing with their artwork is professionally trained, who understands the aesthetic objectives required for presentation, protection, preservation and framing of artwork.
At Top Shot Printing + Framing, we have well over 1000 wood frame samples to choose from -this may sound a bit intimidating, but we can help you narrow it down to the perfect solution to enhance your image.
Why use a custom frame? Custom frames are necessary for framing items which are not a standard size. Choosing custom framing allows you to bring your own personal style into your home. As well as complimenting your image, framing protects your artwork, special memories and accomplishments.
Conservation Framing
We offer conservation framing for your most treasured images such as originals and limited edition prints. This is very important if you want to give your piece the long life it deserves. Many framers do not offer Conservation Framing so make sure yours does.
Factors which affect the life of art:
- Acidity of paper and products
- Humidity
- High temperatures
- Sunlight and ultraviolet lighting
- Improper framing
Matting
Matting not only enhances and compliments your image it also protects it. We use Alphamat Artcare matting which features technology that actually extends the life of art by:
- Slowing paper degradation
- Neutralizing acid by-products
- Protecting against damaging pollutants
There are hundreds of colours to choose from, including suedes, silks, linens and other fabrics, as well as metallics, 8-ply matting and alpharag.
Glazing
At Top Shot Printing + Framing we offer the TruVue picture framing glass range. This consists of many different high quality glazing options. We stock the 3 most commonly used types and we also stock 2mm Clear Float for every day picture framing.
Museum Glass® anti-reflection picture framing glass with Conservation Grade UV Protection is the best glazing option available for art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes. Along with its nearly invisible finish, it effectively blocks up to 99% of harmful indoor and outdoor UV light rays so framed pieces remain clearer and brighter for longer.
Conservation Clear® picture framing glass offers the highest level of UV protection available in the industry. Over time exposure to indoor and outdoor UV light rays can contribute to fading and deterioration of art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes. Conservation Clear glass effectively blocks up to 99% of UV light rays to protect against fading and help keep framed pieces brighter, longer.
Conservation Reflection Control® glass enhances the beauty of artwork with a matte-like finish that scatters light to minimize unwanted glare. Additionally, it effectively blocks up to 99% of UV light rays to help protect art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes from fading and deterioration caused by harmful UV light rays.
