Framing

On this page you will be able to find framing, mounting and presentation services.

Remember that the word 'perspex' is a trade name and is very expensive compared to other clear plastic sheets, which are generically known as 'acrylic styrene'. Be sure to ask for both as a price comparison when enquiring with frame makers.
