HI 
I do enjoy a challenge. Sorry for the late reply, busy few weeks recently....
OK given that I dont have the piece in front of me I cant give a definate answer but hanging my neck out a little I am sure that if it is a triangular frame you are after then I`m more than sure that I can and will be able to do the job requested, incl. the orange pin stripe. Whilst I was looking at the piece in question I had a fairly good idea using a perspex box, triangular shaped. Just an idea but rather than having an orange pin stripe effect, that maybe an orange sided box might work just as well. Now Ive seen your trying to match another then maybe this idea is null and void.
Whatever the case, a challenge is always welcome, so YES, if you`d like to send your piece to us I am sure I can meet the req. you want.
Contact Gary on the below address to arrange delivery/ collection, approx turn around time and finer details.
Thankyou and I look forward to working on the piece

Q + A`s framing advice, by snakes on Sept 9, 2008 23:47:37 GMT 1, Dear Dale,
I have a Faile 'Tender for Ever' (the BIN print) from the last release.
I would like to frame it with a white frame (as you did with my Walker 'TMA Hollywood').
Any further ideas on how to frame this one?
Thanks in advance

Ive just sat here, looking at your Faile, for a good while, (and have to say gladly ;D, its a nice piece to be sat looking at). Anyhow, ideas... So many, from doing something subtle, as the piece stands out so well alone, to going a little "unconventional" and boxing it back from the glass, a little, but, still mounting it, & adding torn sections in the mountboard and such. I have to admit though, I`m not the one that comes up with the ideas. The majority of them are the ideas of Gary. So I`ll pass this over to him, and sit back and enjoy looking at it once more. ;D
I am looking forward to adding my ideas with Gary`s, but, am more so, looking forward to making, finishing, and standing back and looking at the finished piece.

Q + A`s framing advice, by Standard on Oct 3, 2008 22:26:53 GMT 1, Hi Dale,
I am a little stuck on how to frame the following Denning piece. It is a prep piece and my initial thought is for a rustic or ornate frame in black with a black mount. I would like some advice on how you think this could be framed, whether you think the all black would be good (& any suggested alternatives - white on white?) and further to this is it possible to have the piece floated over a black mount/background (sorry not familiar with terminology, so that it is not set within a mount but offset above). I would also require a good UV museum quality glass.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would require it to be picked up from my place of work in the central London, or I could get the gallery to deliver it direct to you.
And finally just an approximate ballpark cost/price range. (pm if you like)
The current black and grey backgrounds are just added in photoshop to give you a good idea of the work.

Good day to you
Firstly, your terminology is as good as any. And I like the way in which you have played about on photoshop, to create an enhancement to your work. Although it doesn`t give a perfect impression of how it will look once mounted it is a good way to check out and play around with different colour options for eventually framing it  .
I am under the impression that Gary has PM`d you in regards to this piece and all the necessary arrangements. Looking forward to enhancing and preserving this piece for you, and any others. As a man that takes pride in his work, Im sure you`ll be pleased when it gets delivered back to you.

Q + A`s framing advice, by dalegcf on Oct 6, 2008 18:57:03 GMT 1, Hi Dale Is there anyway I can tell if my framer has used glass or perspex without taking the framing apart? Ta
GROVER..
Really sorry, I totaly missed this one at the end of the last page .
Several ways in which you can check. The reflection off glass is massively different compared to perspex. With perspex there may be a film left on the face, just for a little extra protection. Best method is too very gently tap it with your finger nail. Glass has a distinctive sound, and this time of year, pretty cold. Remember be gentle... and once again, sorry I overlooked this

Hi,
You have been informed correctly that hanging anything over a rad will cause damage, and it doesn`t take long for this to be clearly visible. First signs are that a print will ripple, badly, and this will happen after only a relatively short period of time. In some cases hours.... From the old school days, in chemistry, one of the lessons was based around hot and cold, contraction and expansion, this is pretty much the same with a vast amount of materials, paper, canvas, cardboard, wood so on. Saying this I would definitely recommend that yourself, and everyone who reads this DOES NOT hang any valuable artwork directly above a heat source, nor in a place where the temp drops considerably. There are a few options you could use to fill those spaces. Frameless mirrors are very durable and can cope with the dry, warm air from a radiator, ( not too close though), ( after time the traditional wooden framed mirrors will begin to twist and warp, same with stretched canvas and most woods), prob is if your rads are laid out in the same kind of way as they are in most homes, mine incl., then a mirror may not be suited to the area/s in question. A shelf above a radiator will expel a lot of the heat away from the wall but I still wouldn`t advise hanging a valued piece above it.
Cutting a long story short, I`m sorry to say that other than putting on more layers and switching the heating off,( ;D ) Id hang something that is easily replaceable at a low cost above them.

Q + A`s framing advice, by dalegcf on Nov 12, 2008 22:49:52 GMT 1, Its all personnel preference, The swept frame option is a nice choice as long as your happy to have a slightly heavier (depth) mount top and bottom than at the sides. Reason for this is that swept frames are mainly a set size. Unless your willing to pay a considerable amount more to have 1 custom made. I personally like to have my prints framed with an even border, be it float mounted or mounted. Ratatouille Id be tempted to double, possibly triple mount or deep bevel accent. I like floatmounted pieces when they have deckled/rough edges. I believe your in contact with "the chief" anyway, but if not you should contact Gary@photographyframing.co.uk He`ll go through some ideas in more depth and arrange all the delivery/collection details

Q + A`s framing advice, by dalegcf on Nov 15, 2008 13:16:06 GMT 1, What are the best hooks to use? Anyone have any recommendations?
All depends an on the item being hung and the type of wall its being hung on. For safety I recommend using 2 sets of hooks on anything larger than 50cm x 70cm, as it will also help to keep your pic level. On strong/solid walls standard double or triple pin hooks, using toughend pins. For soft walls you can get plasterboard hooks, for excessive weighted pieces standard hooks might not be enough, so Id use brass keyhole plates that screw directly to the top corners of the frame, and come with brass bezels that screw into the wall. Then it can be dropped onto the bezel confidently. If you need hooks and stuff we can post them out to you. Pm Gary if you req any mentioned and he`ll sort out prices and arrange postal. ;D. I mean you spend all that money getting them framed, last thing you want is for it to fall off and break. Some people just wind a screw into the wall, but if theyre strung, beaware that the thread on a screw is fairly sharp and can cause the cord to fray

Q + A`s framing advice, by Rsyok on Jan 22, 2009 13:53:34 GMT 1, Calling Mr Frameman ! Theres a few calls around the forum for UV protection against home lighting. Whats your opinion (Im guessing if in doubt UV glass it) and what is the going rate for 50x70 standard UV ? Cheers.
Some info from GE lighting
3. Do light bulbs (such as compact fluorescent bulbs) give off hazardous amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light?
Regular fluorescent light bulbs used in your home and office do not produce a hazardous amount of ultraviolet light (UV). Most light sources, including fluorescent bulbs, emit a small amount of UV, but the UV produced by fluorescent light bulbs is far less than the amount produced by natural daylight. (UV light rays are the light wavelengths that can cause sunburn and skin damage.)
All of our light bulbs designed for general public use and minimize the amount of UV light emitted. If you're looking for a low-UV bulb for an especially sensitive area, try our Saf-T-Gard® bulbs. They block most ultraviolet light emissions, and they're also shatter-resistant.

Q + A`s framing advice, by j4mes on Oct 17, 2009 16:18:34 GMT 1,
Looking for some advise please.
A banksy print i had framed a month or so ago is no longer sitting flat in the frame. Its a large print 60 x 70 has a double mount. The framer has used all the correct uv glass, acid free tape etc.
The print isn't over a rad or opposite a window and has been hanging for a month without a problem. The framer said this morning that unfortunately this sometimes happens due to the size and the only way is to dry mount it although this would effect its value. Its not that obvious but i just want to make sure i'm not damaging the print and what the framer has said is correct?
Thanks in advance
James

Picked up a print few weeks ago and want to display it in the bathroom. Would like to use a ornate gilt frame.
Anythings I can do / spec to help print last in a bad environment?
