Artwork that Floats

Mounting your art, posters or photographs in transparent frames lets your framed images float off the wall, and this form of framing is very trendy in modern or contemporary homes. Additionally, it is very easy to work with these materials to craft your own frames, as opposed to glass and wood frames.

 

 

 

Art mounted inside an acrylic or duracryl frame does not require any mounting mats or special treatment, and no special tools are needed to cut frames, moulding and trim.
