Acrylic Options

Acrylic offers solutions to issues of weight and safety. For extra large frames we would use acrylic as standard. We also use acrylic for frames prone to excessive movement, for example exhibitions or works to be loaned regularly. All our acrylics are cast and of the highest quality to stop any warping when viewing artworks.
