Frames
For
years we have produced a range of ready made frames which are so popular that
very often we cannot keep up with demand! We endeavour to stock a frames from
small photo size to those suitable for large posters. In
general we manufacture to a range of imperial standard sizes:-
- 5
x 3.5 inches (c. 127 x , 89mm),
- 5 x 4 inches (c. 127 x 102mm),
- 6 x 4 inches (c.152 x 102mm),
 -
7 x 5 inches (c. 178 x 127mm),
- 8 x 6 inches (c. 203 x 152mm),
- 9 x 7 inches (c. 229 x 178mm),
- 10
x 8 inches(c. 254 x 203mm),
- 12 x 10 inches (c. 305 x 254mm).
The
smaller sizes are supplied with glass, plain mountboard and strutback.
7
x 5 inches and over are supplied with glass, bevel cut mount and strutback or
hanging back - 14 x 10 inches (c. 356 x 254mm),
- 15 x 11 inches (c. 381 x 279mm),
- 16
x 12 inches (c. 406 x 305mm),
- 18 x14 inches (457 x 356mm),
- 20 x 16 inches (508 x 406mm).
These
are supplied with glass, bevel cut mount, backboard screw eyes and cord for hanging. - 11.75 x 8.25 inches (c. 297 x 210mm).
The demand for square frames is quite limited and as a consequence
they very often get overlooked in the pressure of production! However, when
 we
do make them these are the sizes:-
- 4 x 4 inches (c. 102
x 102mm),
- 4.5 x 4.5 inches (c. 114 x 114mm),
- 5
x 5 inches (c. 127 x 127mm),
- 6 x 6 inches (c. 152 x 152mm)
,
- 7 x 7 inches (c. 178 x 178mm),
- 8
x 8 inches (c. 203 x 203mm) ,
- 10 x 10 inches (c. 254 x 254mm).
Sometimes
you may be lucky and get a bevel cut mount on the larger sizes, but more often
than not there will be a plain piece of mountboard together with glass  and
backboard. Up to 10 x 8 inches,
(c. 254 x 203mm), are made using 13mm (c. 0.5") plain wood, gold and
a 15mm (c. 0.6") walnut with gold line. 12 x 10 inches
(c. 305 x 254mm) to 20 x 16 inches (508 x 406mm), we use a larger gold (20mm /
0.79") ), a larger walnut with gold line (25mms / 0.98"), blue/grey
wash (25mm / 0.98") and a flat pine (25mm / 0.98"). A4
frames are made using 13mm / c. 0.5" plain sections in gold, black, dark
brown, natural wood and sometimes a 15mm / 0.6" walnut with gold line. In
addition to the regular mouldings, in the best interests of economy, we use up
small offcuts by making them into ready made frames. So there is always a selection
in a random choice of mouldings.
