Photo Framing Supplies

Photo framing supplies. There are superior photo framing supplies available that can be used to help preserve your framed artwork. You can choose from a wide selection of framing supplies including wood frames, metal frames, as well as several different types of mount board and mat board. There are a plethora of methods for attaching your artwork to the mount as well, including hinging tape, photo corners and adhesives. Glazing choices range from glass to several types of acrylic. Your photo framing supply choices will depend on the type and value of the piece of art as well as the permanency of the framing choice.

Metal frames are a great choice for framing photographs because their simple lines do not detract in any way from the photograph, while wood frames are often used for fine art pieces such as paintings. Wooden frames can be custom made to suit the particular piece of artwork you wish to frame, and can utilize colored mats that will enhance the colors used in your artwork.

A piece of artwork's long life can be aided by the use of acid-free products for framing, and this can include the mount board, mat board and means of attaching the artwork to the mount. To prevent damage to your photo from temperature and humidity fluctuations, photo corners are often used to secure the photo in a layer between mount board, mat and the glazing. Photo corners also allow you the flexibility to change out the frame, mount or mat board at any time, because the corners are not affixed to the mount. Photos can also be mounted by using acid-free hinging tape or adhesives. Your choice will depend on the amount of conservation required for your photo, as well as your need to remove the photo from the mount board at any time in the future.

The glazing framing supplies you choose can help preserve your artwork by filtering out harmful light that can damage it. Acrylic comes in a standard variety, as well types that filter out UV rays and glare that comes from light hitting the glazing. Acrylic is light weight and not easily broken. Glass can also be used for glazing, and it provides a hard surface that resists scratches. Although it is less expensive than acrylic, it is heavier and can break easily.

There are many excellent choices for photo framing supplies, so you can select the ones that will both preserve your artwork and protect it from atmospheric damage.

Vinyl Lettering as a Growing Home Decor Trend

If you've been following interior design lately, or watched any of the home improvement shows on television, chances are you've seen vinyl lettering being used to decorate. Traditionally vinyl lettering was used only in sign making, such as banners, vehicle lettering, etc. However, with newly available, less tacky vinyl material available on the market, vinyl lettering for home decor is a fast growing trend. Even well known designer Candice Olsen used it in one of her recent episodes to add a little bit of charm to a room. So why vinyl lettering, why now, and how can you utilize this fast growing trend to add decor to any room in your home? Here are four reasons that vinyl lettering for home decor is a fast growing trend:

Vinyl Lettering is Inexpensive

When compared to hand-painted stencils to put words on walls, vinyl lettering is a lot less expensive for several reasons. First of all, time. You've heard the saying "time is money." Well, if that's truly the case, then vinyl lettering offers significant savings just in the time you save over having to hand paint your walls. If you were to paint your walls, you'd have to first create the stencils, or freehand it, which is very time consuming. With vinyl wall lettering most applications can be applied in less than 10 minutes, whereas painting the same saying on your walls could take you a day or more. Secondly, the cost of the materials is FAR less expensive when using vinyl lettering over paint. Think about this. You'll need paint, thinner, brushes, a drop cloth, along with more paint to correct mistakes you may make along the way. Total that all up and you're in it the very least $50, plus the hassle, time, etc. You can get a LOT of custom made vinyl letters for $50, and save your self some time to boot.

Vinyl Lettering Isn't Messy

Another reason that vinyl lettering is quickly replacing hand stenciling is that it's not messy....no cleanup involved. And best of all, you still acheive a hand painted look. I remember when a friend came to visit that I hadn't seen in a long time, I showed her my daughter's room. She loved the little poem I had going along the top of the wall in soft pink. She commented, "wow...that must have taken you forever...did you freehand that?" I should have told her "Yes, it was painstaking." She would have thought I was amazing. But, I simply told her the truth. It took me about 30 minutes using some pre-cut vinyl lettering.

Vinyl Lettering Isn't Permanent

Unlike paint, vinyl lettering can be removed anytime you'd like without damaging your painted walls. This offers the perfect solution for those who are in temporary living spaces such as apartments, rental homes, etc. You get the permanant hand-stenciled look, but with vinyl lettering, you have the option to remove it whenever you'd like. If you want to keep it forever, go ahead. If properly installed it won't come off until you remove it.

Vinyl Lettering Can Be Changed Frequently

Many people love to decorate their homes for the holidays. Whether it's Valentines Day, Halloween, Christmas, or otherwise, you can get vinyl letteirng inexpensively enough to allow you to change your decor often, allowing you to cusotmize your decor for any season. The time, mess, and expense involved with paint gives vinyl lettering an obvious upper hand when it comes to versatility.

Transform Your Home With Stylish Wood Windows

Although UPVC windows are many people’s first choice for their home, natural wood windows have plenty to offer the home owner. Modern windows which are made of wood can complement older or more traditional style properties as well as increasing security with integrated locking systems.

Environmentally friendly

Timber windows are an energy efficient glazing solution for your home as wood can naturally insulate rooms and can help to reduce your energy bills. Double glazing with inert gas between the panes can make windows even more energy efficient and create a cosy feeling inside your home. Wood is also a natural insulator for sound so wooden frames can help to reduce noise pollution from nearby roads. Although steel and aluminium frames are recyclable, at the end of their use these materials require a great deal of energy and harmful chemicals to be made into a new product. Wood however is very easy to recycle and is biodegradable unlike materials such as UPVC. Most companies now source the wood for windows from sustainable forests under forest management and conversation schemes which means that the wood used for frames doesn’t come from natural forests and woodland habitats. 

Naturally beautiful

One of the most popular reasons for choosing windows made out of wood is that natural wood looks stunning. Wooden frames can come in a huge range of colours and shades and can be treated or painted to get the exact look for your home. Wood can also complement the wooden features inside your home such as flooring or skirting boards. The texture of this material can also add beauty and elegance to the outside of your home as every piece of wood is completely unique so you can achieve a bespoke look with wooden frames. It is also versatile enough to suit changes in the style of your home as it can be painted, stained or retreated to get the look you want. Wood is also less prone to condensation than other materials such as UPVC so this can help to reduce the build up of condensation and dampness and leave your windows looking sparking. Timber windows also have an inherent charm as they can have particular features which are often copied but rarely matched by UPVC windows. There are many attractive looks available such as arches, circular windows, sash windows and custom made windows to complement historic buildings.

Long lasting

Wood doesn’t rust or corrode even in the most extreme weather conditions which means they can last for a long time. Wood has been used for windows for centuries and with good reason as these frames can be easily cleaned and retreated or totally refurbished if needed. If you move into an older property which has wooden windows it can often be much cheaper to refurbish the existing frames rather than replacing all the windows with UPVC for example. Once the wood has been treated properly, you can enjoy the authentic look of the windows for many years.

The next time you need to update the windows of your home consider choosing wooden frames for their natural beauty and eco-friendly properties.
