Frequently Asked Questions
Can I frame items that aren’t flat, like baby shoes or medals?
Yes—custom picture framers often use shadow boxes to frame three-dimensional items like shoes, medals, instruments, sports memorabilia or keepsakes. These frames are deeper than standard ones, allowing space for bulkier items to be mounted securely. Acid-free materials and conservation-friendly mounting techniques help ensure your items are safe from damage or degradation over time. If your item holds sentimental or historical value, shadow box framing is a great way to preserve and display it.
How do I choose the right glass for my frame?
Choosing the right glass depends on where your framed item will hang and how valuable or sensitive the contents are. Standard clear glass is cost-effective, but offers little UV protection. Non-reflective glass reduces glare in bright rooms, while UV-protective and museum-grade glass protect against light damage and offer superior clarity. Forster homes often feature large windows or natural light—so UV or non-reflective options are often recommended. Your framer can help you decide what suits your piece best.
What’s the advantage of acid-free materials in picture framing?
Acid-free materials, such as backing boards and matting, are essential for long-term preservation. Acidic materials can cause yellowing, staining or deterioration over time—especially for paper-based items like photos or documents. Acid-free framing keeps your item safe and stable, protecting its appearance for years. It’s particularly important for valuable, delicate or sentimental pieces. Most professional framers use acid-free materials as standard in custom jobs to ensure better outcomes.
