ACRYLIC VITRINES
THIS PAGE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Our acrylic box frames designed to be wall mounted and complement our gallery framing services. Suitable for use with a wide range of media, chosen for practical purposes or as an aesthetic choice. Along with a range of corresponding bases, acrylic boxes are precision fabricated in-house on a CNC equipment enabling us to provide unparalleled versatility, consistency of quality and accurate dimensions.
This process has enabled us to develop a unique presentation ecosystem and a number of innovations unique to our acrylic box frames.

wall mounted vitrines
The acrylic boxes are fabricated from 4.5mm Clear Cast Acrylic - chosen for clarity, strength and longevity. All dimensions, including height, width, depth, tolerance and screw hole positions are entered into our CAD software. The holes, and outer edges are CNC cut with the front edges being grooved. These grooves enable us to carefully heat bend the front edges which provides for a clean subtle fabricated look with a minimal use of adhesive along the rear edges.
Box frames can be readily fabricated in depths up to 300mm although commonly specified depths are between 40-80mm.

BASES
Bases are made from a selection of materials provide the surface to which the artwork is attached as well as providing a support structure for the attachment the of acrylic box and hanging hardware. Bases are generally chosen for their suitability for the work to be framed as well as their archival and aesthetic characteristics.
PAINTED MDF BASES
Also CNC fabricated, these bases are made from hardwood veneered MDF panels. The panels are grooved on the CNC and assembled to give the fronts and sides a consistent flowing veneer. These are suitable where the desired timber look is required, often for the presentation of objects and memorabilia. The bases can be stained and finished in the same way as our hardwood frames.
FABRICATED TIMBER VENEER BASES
Also CNC fabricated, these bases are made from hardwood veneered MDF panels. The panels are grooved on the CNC and assembled to give the fronts and sides a consistent flowing veneer. These are suitable where the desired timber look is required, often for the presentation of objects and memorabilia. The bases can be stained and finished in the same way as our hardwood frames.
SOLID TIMBER BASES
Also CNC fabricated, these bases are made from hardwood veneered MDF panels. The panels are grooved on the CNC and assembled to give the fronts and sides a consistent flowing veneer. These are suitable where the desired timber look is required, often for the presentation of objects and memorabilia. The bases can be stained and finished in the same way as our hardwood frames.

Our fabricated aluminium composite bases can be coated with an archival shellac based matte finish that emulates the look of a cotton backing whilst maintaining strength and versatility. Bases can be painted to match our range of museum boards.
Works on paper are hinged to an archival pedatal substrate which is then adhered to the base. The depth of the pedestal substrate gives the work a nice subtle and even floating look. This presentation is especially suitable for works on paper with deckled, dimensional or irregular shapes and edges where the frameless look gives the work spacious and free display.
