What glass should I get?
Standard glass is fine for a lot of work. our truevue UV glass cuts harmful light, helps protect colours and also has remarkable clarity enhancing properties.
we also do specific anti reflective glass which is unbelievably effective at blocking out reflection.

If you need something for a specific date for a special occasion then we try our very best to accommodate.

What about adding a floating frame?
Multiply the stretching price by 2.5x and you get a ballpark figure of what adding a float frame would start from (including the stretching). price will rise depending on what float frame is selected.
For a final quote, please visit us in store or call 0450 472 042.
Whats the difference between float framing and canvas stretch?
Stretch pulls the canvas onto a bar so its tight and ready to hang or frame. Float sits the artwork inside the frame with a gap so it looks like it’s floating — common for canvases . We’ll tell you which suits the piece.
What should I bring?
The artwork (or a clear photo/size if you’re only browsing), and any idea of style or budget. If it’s valuable or sentimental, say so — that changes glass and mounting choices.
Do you frame needlework / do shadow boxes?
Yes. we have a great online reputation for our needlework framing and shadow box work. these do incur an extra mounting charge for the additional labour involved
