Framing at SEA
How do we frame our paper prints?
All of our frames are crafted from Australian Oak. Our framed prints are sealed on the rear with framing tape and coreflute to ensure that excess moisture cannot enter the artwork.
Our A4, A3 & A2 frames are set behind glass, with a white matte board. A1 frames are also set behind a matte board, however we use perspex instead of glass, as we've found glass sheets this size are damaged quite easily.
Australian oak paper print sizes
A4 - 31.5cm x 39cm
A3 - 39cm x 51cm
A2 - 50.5cm x 67.5cm
A1 - 66cm x 90cm
Please note: All of our frames are handmade, they can vary slightly from time to time, the above are rough guide.
Framing Canvas Prints
Our canvas prints come with a border so that they are able to be stretched over wooden stretcher bars. The only other way to mount a canvas is to frame it behind glass, which defeats the purpose of getting a canvas print.
Stretched canvas prints will be the same size as the print you ordered.
Our shadow box frames add 2cm to each size of the print, so a total of 4cm on top of the print. Eg. A 70cm x 100cm Canvas print stretched & framed in a Shadow Oak frame will be 74cm x 104cm.
