Picture Framing Dublin; A Look At This Job

By April Briggs


After getting your supplies and frame materials then it is time to get down and do the actual work of framing. This starts with choosing the space you will be working from. It is recommended that this should be a clean and flat surface like a large table of the counter tops in the kitchen. The work surface should be protected using a Kraft paper, a corrugated board or a table pad. The following are the basics of picture framing Dublin.

Open all the packages that you need and assemble them in an organized way. Confirm that all the materials that you ordered are there and do not throw away the packaging materials till your picture frame has been assembled and placed on the wall to your satisfaction. The packaging that you order should come in with details of how to fix the frames.

The essentials for the process include linen tape, acrylic cleaner, wire and screw driver. These ones are gathered together in an organized manner. There are other tools which are available in doing the job but they are not necessary and one can still go on without them and succeed in doing a commendable job of framing.

Begin by fixing your art to the back of the foam core then tape or hinge the mat sheet to this mat board or the form core according to your preference. Then set them aside as you perform other procedures.

The acrylic is prepared and a flank of protective liner used peeled off. This should the side that will be in touch with the piece of art. It is placed facing down on the assembly of the art. The other side is then peeled off. When using non glaring or ultra violet acrylic then the manufacturer will have indicated in the package the side to be peeled.

Next come the framing bit. In the event that you are assembling a metallic frame then the side and bottom rails are placed face down on the work surface. The art assembly is slid inside the incomplete assembled frame thereafter. The treatment of the frame is put face down and its top rail inserted. The corners are then tightened. Spring clips are inserted under the metallic frame channel at this point for provision of a tight and nice fit. Hanging hardware and bumpers are attached.

If the frame you are working with is wooden then it is delivered assembled if its matted length and width is fifty four or less. You proceed from putting it face down and then placing the art face down on inside it too. The art is secured within using clips. The hanging hardware and wires are then screwed. Some framers use point drivers for securing the art into the frame. To get a finished look at the back a double stick tape is run along edges of the frame and a Kraft paper attached. The excess is trimmed off and hanging ware and bumpers attached.

Before hanging your final frame, it is recommended that you polish off your final work by making use of few shots of acrylic cleaner. Making use of a Novus acrylic cleaner ensures that your final work is elegant and worth it.
