By Ryan Gibson


There may be a photograph or painting that you have which you love to put inside a frame but is confused on what to buy. You may be doing this because you want to display it in your house and want it to complement the rest of the decorations in that area. It would also help in the preservation of that piece of artwork for the longest possible time.

Purchasing frames may not be as easy as going inside a shop and looking for one that your piece will fit in. A search for expert custom frames may be needed in order to help you out in your decisions. Here are some advice in searching for one in the city of Syracuse, NY.

Look for those offering their services in making custom frames. Some artwork shops may be also offering these so you can also check them out. Create a list of those that you have found and start getting more information about their works and themselves as well.

Ask for recommendations from people you know. You may know someone who needed the help on an expert in framing their artworks. You can ask their opinions regarding their experience and if they were satisfied with the service given. They usually will give an honest answer and will not recommend anyone who they think are not good enough at their work.

Ask how many years their business have been going on. This also includes the information regarding on where they have acquired the knowledge and skills needed in assisting you in what you need and the number of customers that have come to them for their services. These would indicate the experience and efficiency they possess in doing their chose trade.

Ask to see some samples and references of their previous works. These could be displayed in their shop if they have one or at their house instead. This would let you see the quality of the works they have done and the way the framed artwork goes with the decorations in the room. It would help you decide if their works are of your liking or not.

Request for an explanation so that you can understand the ways in preserving the artworks you have by the various ways of framing. An example of this would be glazing which has different types like anti glare, UV reducing and standard glazing. A probable suggestion that they would make is not to have your oil paintings in a glazing.

Matting is another example of these which can also give depth to the image in the frame. It could also be used in having multiple pictures placed in one frame. The matting is wider than the framing most of the time and is weighted at the bottom as well. Frames are made from different materials, such as aluminum and wood, and it can give off different looks when it is displayed. The location is also important in determining the material of the frame will be made from.

Ask for the total cost in making the custom frame including their service fee. The price may vary depending on the materials used and its size. This would include also the prices for glazing and matting if you have asked for them.
