Do you service your artwork and other prized posessions?
When professional picture framers design a frame package for a piece of artwork, one of their primary objectives is to protect it for an extended period of time. The time frame of protection is generally determined by where it is hanging and the climate of the local area. For example, in a hot and humid climate this could be as early as 5 - 7 years, longer in dry arid areas.
Moisture builds up behind the glazing and can react with chemicals in the atmosphere to produce aesthetic problems and also cause physical damage to the frame package.
It is our responsibility, as professional picture framers, to recommend regular examinations of your valuable artwork and prized posessions in order to maintain the level of preservation considered at the time of the initial framing.
You regularly maintain many of you posessions, such as your automobile, why wouldn't you consider the same for your artwork?

Why Custom Framing?
The primary reasons for framing articles are for display, protection, and preservation. Professional picture framers are trained to evaluate a consumer's needs and guide them in the selection of the proper materials required to meet these objectives.
Price quite often seems to be a major issue in whether someone decides to use custom framing for their artwork or objects. Since most items considered for framing generally have either sentimental or monetary value, it just makes sense to make sure the persons handling them are as knowlegable as possible. You don't take your car to a mechanic or a sick person to a doctor who has no training, and neither should you entrust your valuables to someone with little or no training. A professional picture framer will provide you with the quality and expertise needed to protect and preserve your art and other valued posessions at as reasonable a price as possible.
