Finishing Options
Our budget-friendly finishing service lets YOU choose what works best for your needs.
Will my frame come with glass?
Acrylic glazing is our preferred choice for protecting your images.
The advantages of acrylic:
• Same thickness but half the weight of glass (clear acrylic = 1/16\" thick; non-glare acrylic = 3/32\" thick)
• Same clarity as glass
• Shatter Resistant
• Light Weight and Easy to Handle
• Protects Artwork from Fading
Our acrylic glazing sheets are available in crystal clear and non-glare matte finish.
Which finishing option should I choose?
Before purchasing your frame, it's best to ask yourself three basic questions.
What am I framing and how valuable is it?
How long would I like to keep the presentation?
How much am I willing to spend?
Each of our four finishing options offers different advantages depending on your framing needs.

Economy
Clear Acrylic & Corrugated Backing. Consists of a 1/8\" thick cardboard backing board and \"glass-like\" clear acrylic glazing. Serves best for those who are budget-conscious and need to frame items that may have a short lifespan or that are easily replaceable.
Perfect for:
•Professional licenses that get renewed every year
•Digital snapshots that can be easily reprinted
•Inexpensive posters or commercially produced art
Classic
Clear Acrylic & Foamcore Backing. Consists of a 3/16\" thick foamcore backing board and \"glass-like\" clear acrylic glazing. This best seller is a classic finishing choice — perfect for artwork and photography of all kinds.
Foamcore is a great choice because:
•It has a higher level of protection for framed items than corrugated backing
•Its white finish preserves the integrity of translucent artwork
•It doubles as a dust cover thanks to its neat, clean appearance
•It works well for dry mounting objects to the backing

htmlStr += "
Non-Glare Acrylic & Foamcore Backing. Includes all the same benefits as the Clear Acrylic option, but with one major distinction: the non-glare glazing cuts down the glare on items in direct light or near windows.
";
htmlStr += "
Note: This finishing option should not be used with shadow boxes or presentations with more than one mat due to increased distortion.
Premium
UV Protective Acrylic & Acid-Free Foamcore Backing. This framing option grants the best protection when preservation is the primary concern. Both the 3/16\" thick, acid-free foamcore and the UV protective acrylic glazing help guard an image against deterioration and fading - preserving your most treasured, irreplaceable items for generations.
Perfect for:
•Vintage family photos
•Priceless artwork
•Historic and heirloom documents
When do I need to order canvas clips?
If you are framing a canvas, you may need canvas clips. If your canvas is deeper than the rabbet of your wooden frame (if the canvas sticks out in the back), canvas clips will hold the canvas in the frame. If this is not an issue, you can simply use the clips that come with your frame or finishing selection. Our canvas clips come in one standard canvas size and do not apply to metal frames.

Metal Frame Shipping
Metal frames are shipped unassembled. This is due to the way your artwork will slide into the metal frame. Not to worry, though, they come with everything you need for fast and easy home assembly:
Includes hanging & assembly hardware: Corner Braces, Spring Clips, Hangers, Wire & Wall Savers

What's a Rabbet?
The rabbet is the recess on the back inside edge of the frame, into which the artwork fits. The \"rabbet size\" refers to the depth of this recess. For most framing projects, any rabbet size is fine.
Metal Frames: Most of our metal frames have enclosed rabbets (see diagram). When you're framing a very thick piece – like a stretched canvas – in a metal frame, be sure to choose one with a rabbet that will accommodate the thickness of the piece.
Custom-Made and Ready-Made Frames: These frames have open rabbets, so they will work for almost any framing project.
