Fish Frames has a large variety of mountboard, moulding and glass in order to frame items appropriately and to give the customer as wide a choice as possible.

Lynn will always take time to help the customer choose the right colour of mount and appropriate moulding to make the best of their artwork or item to be framed, and to make sure it is framed to the correct level.

The choice of glass ranges from ordinary float glass through to conservation glass, which provides 98% ultra violet light protection, very important for those valuable or sentimental items.  Look out also for Miroguard Plus glass - it looks like there is no glass there!

Restorations

If you have an old print or original which has been neglected over the years and has been attacked by acid in the surrounding materials, please bring it in to Fish Frames, as they have a team of expert restorers who bring prints, oils and frames back to their former glory. Here are some good examples of what can be done.
