Framing 101

At Inside Angles, one of our specialties is finding the right image. We have several sources for acquiring original art and quality reproductions. If you are not sure what to frame, just look around your home. We suggest:

Treasured photographs and other memorabilia with sentimental value
Vacation Photographs
Awards and keepsakes
Family heirlooms

If you have things to frame; great! You’ll be surprised what treasures you’ll find in your cupboards and drawers. Family photos old and new, keepsakes, heirlooms, memorabilia, students’ art, diplomas or certificates, well-printed calendar art, or an old book in need of preservation. These often make the best images and objects to decorate your home.

We are especially good at reframing existing art. An updated design could be all your art needs to earn its way back to being your favorite image again.

Inside Angles also stocks a small amount of original art, limited edition prints, and gicleé images for sale. They are a great inspiration for people who aren’t sure exactly what they’re looking for. We have an extensive library of print catalogues and can order any specific piece you’re looking for.

There is never a rush at Inside Angles, we will take our time to help you find exactly what you want.

Acrylic Box

An Acrylic Box is a lot like a shadow box, except you can see your art from any angle.

Design

No matter what you choose to frame, we will help you choose the right combination of materials and techniques to make the best display, in a style that is distinctly yours. Our customers range greatly in their personal styles from contemporary or eclectic to traditional or rustic. We are the best at helping our diverse clientele find their favorites among the hundreds of samples.

Fillet

You can achieve a fine finished look with a tiny piece of framework called a fillet. A fillet fits inside the opening of a mat or can be fit into the lip of a frame. Fillets are available in a multitude of styles and finishes, and provide an amazing dimensional element that accents both the artwork and the frame. It’s a fabulous look, and it just happens to be one of our specialties!

Glass

Inside Angles provides glass with UV protection to all of its projects. Available in regular, non-glare, and museum quality.

Mat

Mats come in a multitude of colors and textures. Some are printed or pressed textures but others include silk, linen, satin, leather and suede. We carry thousands of mats to provide the most choices for archival consideration and cost. We also do special cuts in mats

Moulding

Inside Angles has an incredible selection of mouldings. Our frame selection runs a broad range of styles, finishes, and widths. Whether your taste runs contemporary, transitional or traditional, formal or casual, we will be able to create the perfect design for your Art work.

Museum Glass

Museum Glass is the newest and most exceptional glass product to come to the framing industry. Museum Glass is by far the ultimate choice in glazing. It’s virtually invisible, and it filters 99% of UV rays!

Inside Angles also offers art glass, not quite museum quality but still invisible and UV protected. This delivers a Museum, look at a lower price.

Shadow Box

We can put almost anything in a frame using shadow box techniques. Let your imagination run wild and we’ll take it from there. We have framed antique keys, bug collections, show ribbons, and much more. If you can lift it, we can frame it!
