the hang
date first.
We stretch canvases, make tray and float frames, mount works on paper with acid-free materials, and print on Hahnemühle paper and canvas. We fit whatever hanging the venue asks for.
“Process was super easy and Aijaz was very attentive explaining and showing different options for our canvas.”Andre D'Almeida · Google review
What artists
bring us.
Paintings, drawings and photographs going to a show, a client or an open call. Here's what we do with them.
Stretching
Stretcher bars at least 3 cm deep, with cross bars on large canvases.
Tray and float frames
The canvas sits inside with a small gap around it, in any stain or paint.
Drawings and works on paper
Acid-free mount, hinged so the work can come out again, behind UV glass or acrylic.
Print and frame
Send us the file. We print it on Hahnemühle paper or canvas and frame it in the same order.
Classic, Gallery, Luxury:
what's the difference?
They're our three ranges of moulding, cheapest to dearest. Below is the same 25 × 35 cm print priced in each, with clear glass and no mount. A mount, better glass, stitching or stretching add to it, and we confirm the price when we see the piece.

“The owner helped me come up with frames for all of them, and really took the time to guide me through every decision. Pricing was fantastic — he came up with a way for framing the inexpensive items on a lower budget, but they still look great alongside the fine art pieces.”
“Aijaz was helpful and patient in exploring the different approaches. I had a number of specific asks, and when I went to pick the finished frames, everything was exactly as requested. Very pleased.”
“Nine posters framed for permanent display at a nearby business. All nine completed to an incredible standard. Aijaz advised on what would work best for each poster and the setting it would be in.”

Common
questions.
Usually three to six weeks from when you confirm. Tell us the hang date before anything else. If it's too tight, we'll say so straight away rather than promise it.
Put your size into the quote tool for the frame, mount and glass. Stretching and printing depend on the piece, so we price them once we've seen it or the file. You get the full price before we start.
Mirror plates, D-rings or security fixings. Send us the venue's hanging spec and we'll match it.
Tell us what you have per piece. A painted moulding, and acrylic instead of glass, bring the price down without making it look cheap.
Yes. Works on paper go on acid-free board, hinged with conservation tape that can be removed. Nothing is glued to the work.
