Picture Framing Dublin; A Look At This Job

By April Briggs


After getting your supplies and frame materials then it is time to get down and do the actual work of framing. This starts with choosing the space you will be working from. It is recommended that this should be a clean and flat surface like a large table of the counter tops in the kitchen. The work surface should be protected using a Kraft paper, a corrugated board or a table pad. The following are the basics of picture framing Dublin.

The package containing the materials you need in order to do this are opened up and organized. Make sure to check and confirm that all that you ordered is included just as per your order. The materials used in packaging should not be thrown away until the work of framing is done to satisfaction and hung up.

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.

Next step is to make a preparation of the acrylic. The protective liner is peeled on the side that is expected to be in touch with the art. That side is placed facing down on your collection of art which is the picture and the board. When through, peel off the remaining side. If you made a order of acrylic made with ultra violet rays or non-glaring properties, that part should face up and it should be indicated in the bought package.

If you are working with a metallic frame you should choose side and also the bottom rails to be placed facing down on the surface you are working in. The corner brackets are to be inserted and tightened. The art is slid within the partly assembled frame. Frame treatment is also placed face down then top rail inserted and the corners tightened. Spring clips are put beneath the frame for a nice and also tight fit. Bumpers and hanging ware are attached last.

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.
