Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Tips

Cleaning and care for your fine art frames:

  • Wood frames: spray a mild solution of cleaner on a soft cloth and wipe your frame gently. Try a small area first to see if the finish is affected. Never spray cleaner directly on wood frames. The cleaner may leave marks or even take the finish off your frame. Also, excess cleaning solution might drip down into the frame behind the glass and stain your mat or art.

  • Metal frames: although metal frames are not quite as sensitive as wood frames, it is a good idea to spray the cleaning agent onto a soft cloth not the frame itself.

  • Glass: spray your cleaning solution onto a soft cloth and wipe the glass carefully to clean it. Then use a dry soft cotton cloth to get rid of any streaks. Your glass will shine!

  • Acrylics (plexi): use only plexiglass cleaner and a very soft cloth (available in hardware stores) to clean your plexiglass. Regular glass cleaners, especially in combination with paper towels will scratch your plexiglass and remove the brilliance.

If you do have an accident with your frame, please call us and we’ll see if we can touch up the marks.

Hanging your frames

  • Our frames are wired and equipped with hardware for your wall. On longer frames, we recommend using two sets of hardware so your frame is well balanced when hung.

  • Very tall and heavy frames should be hung from wall buddies or d-rings on the back of your frame. A wire would cause too much strain on the actual frame.
