At Inframe Gallery Ltd we focus on Picture Framing to preservation standards. To clarify, the methods and materials used are to the highest standard, and are designed not only to enhance your pictures/artwork but also to protect them.
We offer both walk-in and pre-booked appointments at both of our shops. Pre-booking is preferred, as this guarantees your slot and prevents any waiting time.
We also have available to you, our online App. Here you can preview your frames and also order them online to collect in our shops or have them delivered.
Picture Framing Materials
All picture framing materials used will not damage your items or artwork, we do not use glue or staples. On most items we use a conservation grade gummed hinging tape to attach your image to the under mount, this can be removed if necessary, on other items where this method is not acceptable we have various other methods depending on the item or artwork. These range from photo corners to platform mounts and we will advise on the best method depending on your item.
Picture Framing Mountbards
All of our mount board is acid free, which means it won’t bleed anything into your artwork and it won’t discolour. All images and artwork are mounted using an acid free under-mount.
There are several types of glazing to choose from. Depending on your needs, we can recommend they type of glazing needed for the artwork. See our Glazing tab for more info.

Types of Picture Framing
MEDALS
We specialise in framing military medals and other medals. The methods that we use to frame them will not damage them in anyway. We like to recommend bringing in a photograph of the person the medals belong to so we can incorporate it in the frame as well as any other items which you feel are relevant (cap badges, id tags).
CROSS STITCH & TAPESTRY’S
You can bring you cross stitch or tapestry to us for framing if it is already stretched, or we can stretch it for you.We use several methods for stretching depending on your requirements, as standard we lace your cross stitch or tapestry.
Please note we DO NOT wash or iron your cross stitch/tapestry, to avoid damage.
SHIRTS & CLOTHING
We can frame any type of clothing, whether its a football shirt, rugby shirt, shoes, shorts and gloves to name a few. The methods we use for framing clothing doesn’t damage the item, we don’t use glue or any other sticky substance.
