We have served the Tampa Bay area for over 25 years with great quality and the best prices. We have worked with a variety of clients from schools, individuals, artists, galleries, hotels, hospitals, and more.

  • We always use a vacuum press which is a specialized device used to apply even pressure and remove air bubbles between the layers of the artwork. This machine uses pressure and heat to help in flattening the artwork against a thick board to prevent warping. After the piece goes through the vacuum press stage, we mat it with two pieces of high quality matboard, followed by the glass, the frame, and a back cover with a wire to hang it.

    This is the best way to preserve your art piece, ensuring that it will last for a long time. Very few places will invest in a vacuum press machine installation, because it is an expensive and time consuming method. We take all the precautions to make sure that your piece will be a longtime investment!

  • Framing an artwork is important for many reasons.

    First, it protects it from potential damage such as dust, moisture, and being smudged or torn. A frame provides structural support to the artwork, preventing it from bending, warping, or becoming damaged due to handling or environmental changes. It keeps the artwork flat and secure, ensuring it retains its original shape and form.

    Second, framing an artwork gives it a professional and finished appearance, making it suitable for exhibitions, display in galleries, or even for personal enjoyment in your own space. It adds a level of sophistication and seriousness to the presentation of the artwork.

    Third, a well-chosen frame enhances the visual appeal of the artwork, complementing its style, colors, and subject matter. It adds a finishing touch, elevating the overall presentation and making the artwork more captivating to viewers.

    Framing has the transformative power to elevate a simple piece of art, turning it into a masterpiece by providing a carefully curated presentation that enhances its beauty, depth, and impact.
