An Overview Of Picture Framing Dublin

By April Briggs


The moment you finish up designing your art work and also made an order of the materials to frame you will start to think of framing your art work designs. When you begin, look for a flan working surface like the kitchen counter or even a large table in your place. Use a Kraft paper, a table pad or corrugated board to protect your design from being destroyed. People in Ireland who want to do the job of picture framing Dublin are asked to follow the procedure that has eight steps.

All the packages that have been ordered for the work are opened and assembled neatly to simplify the work. Make a confirmation to see whether all the items that you ordered have been delivered and also do not throw the materials used for packaging until your design has been framed to your satisfaction. When the packaging is delivered, check to see if they have given you the instructions for framing.

Assemble needed tools for you to work easily without distractions. Make sure that you have also gathered the essential tools like screw driver, wire, linen tape and also acrylic cleaner. You can order some other tools and accessories from the online market in Ireland to simplify your work but this is not really important.

This art work is then mounted to a backing of foam core. What follows after this is hinging or taping a mat board onto foam core or on another mat board whichever is your preference. Then the product is set aside to be used later.

The acrylic is prepared and a flank of protective liner used peeled off. This should the side that will be in touch with the piece of art. It is placed facing down on the assembly of the art. The other side is then peeled off. When using non glaring or ultra violet acrylic then the manufacturer will have indicated in the package the side to be peeled.

Next come the framing bit. In the event that you are assembling a metallic frame then the side and bottom rails are placed face down on the work surface. The art assembly is slid inside the incomplete assembled frame thereafter. The treatment of the frame is put face down and its top rail inserted. The corners are then tightened. Spring clips are inserted under the metallic frame channel at this point for provision of a tight and nice fit. Hanging hardware and bumpers are attached.

If the frame you are working with is wooden then it is delivered assembled if its matted length and width is fifty four or less. You proceed from putting it face down and then placing the art face down on inside it too. The art is secured within using clips. The hanging hardware and wires are then screwed. Some framers use point drivers for securing the art into the frame. To get a finished look at the back a double stick tape is run along edges of the frame and a Kraft paper attached. The excess is trimmed off and hanging ware and bumpers attached.

Before hanging it is recommended to always polish the finished work using a squirts of acrylic cleaner made of Novus. The polishing works to ensure that the picture looks great and presentable which is of course the ultimate goal of any art framer.
