Custom Framing Terminology & Materials
Moulding
The frame is the most visually prominent component of any custom framing project. At Donna Child Fine Art, we offer an extensive selection of high-quality wood and metal frames to suit all aesthetics. Our team will help guide you in choosing the perfect frame for your artwork or collectible.
Matting
Matting serves both aesthetic and protective functions. We offer archival, acid-free matboards in over 300 colors, including suede, silk, linen, and metallic finishes. Proper matting prevents artwork from sticking to glass and reduces the risk of moisture damage.
Glazing (Glass)
Protect your artwork from UV damage, glare, and environmental factors with our premium Tru Vue® glass options:
- Conservation Clear® Glass: Blocks 99% of harmful UV rays.
- Museum Glass®: Virtually invisible, offering 99% UV protection with anti-reflective clarity.
Hinging & Mounting
We use acid-free hinging techniques that preserve artwork integrity while allowing safe removal. For three-dimensional objects, our custom shadow box framing provides secure yet reversible mounting.
Backing & Mounting Board
We use Archival Foamcore for conservation framing and dry mounting for posters and photographs to keep them smooth and flat.
Custom Shadow Boxes & Unique Framing Projects
Our framing expertise extends beyond traditional artwork to include custom shadow boxes for unique objects. Past projects include:
- Sports jerseys with collectible cards and nameplates
- Military medals and family heirlooms in custom layouts
- Antique documents and historical memorabilia
- 3D objects like musical instruments, LP records, and textiles
