Ordering Information
PRICING
Our frame pricing is based on the inside dimension of the frame and includes assembly. To figure a frame price, simply add all four sides of the outside dimensions of the piece you want to frame and multiply by the price per inch of the moulding you choose. Be sure to measure canvases at the corners. Round fractions up to the next whole inch before multiplying. Our minimum charge for a frame is $6.00. All prices and specials are subject to change without notice.
All mats, foam core, glass and Plexiglas are priced by the united inch. The united inch is the width plus the height of the particular item you are pricing.

MEASUREMENTS
The smallest frame we make is 4 inch x 4 inch. Frames are cut to the size you specify plus 1/8 inch allowance. We can also cut exact measurements, either inside, outside or sight size. We provide a 1/8″allowance on all frames in case the art, mat or backing you have is slightly out of square. This insures your artwork fits properly.
COLORS
Colors on this website are as accurate as possible, but actual color can differ when viewing on different web browsers. Moulding finishes can vary from batch to batch and may not correspond exactly to the online image. These variations are beyond our control and are not considered grounds for return. If the variation is substantial, we will call you. If a match to the online image is critical, request a free sample chip before ordering.
