Workshop
Our workshop centrally located in Timaru, South Canterbury. All our frames are made on site and are crafted with experience and attention to detail. We have all the tools and equipment needed here.
We operate a modern, shop-front workshop and studio space, where all of our framing is undertaken. We believe in transparency and accountability — so showcase our workplace to the world.
Mitre: To chop our mouldings we use a Cassese foot operated mitre guillotine. This machine is among the best ranked of its class in the world, and is the heart of any custom picture framing business.
Underpinner: We have Cassese pneumatic underpinner on site which is a heavy duty air-powered joiner. We use this to join all of the mitred corners together, pinning them in place.
Matboards: We have a Wizard computerised matcutter on site, which precision cuts all of our matboards in various shapes and sizes. Highly accurate and incredibly quick, the matcutter ensures work is completed to a high standard, every time.
Fixings: A variety of, either pneumatically operated or hand-held, flexi-points, multi-points, framers points, staplers and compressed air guns.
We use all conservation grade framer’s tapes and acid free, pH balanced adhesives. In addition, all our matboards are either museum or conservation grade, and our foamcore backing boards are conservation grade.
