Custom Framing Custom Framing

A custom frame can add style and improve the look of any home or office. As well as complimenting your image, framing protects your special memories and accomplishments. We have well over 1000 wood and metal frame samples to choose from -this may sound a bit intimidating, but we can help you narrow it down to the perfect solution to enhance your image.


Conservation Framing Conservation Framing

We offer conservation framing for your most treasured images such as originals, limited edition prints and valuables. This is very important if you want to give your piece the long life it deserves. Please ask our staff if you have any concerns about the protection and conservation of your item.


Factors which affect the life of art:

  • Acidity of paper and products
  • Humidity
  • High temperatures
  • Sunlight and ultraviolet lighting
  • Improper framing

Matting Matting

Images On Bank uses only Alphamat Artcare matting which features technology that actually extends the life of art by:

  • Slowing paper degradation
  • Neutralizing acid by-products
  • Protecting against damaging pollutants

There are hundreds of colours to choose from, including metallics, suedes, silks, rice paper and other fabrics.


Glazing Glazing

You have the choice of regular glass, non-glare, UV protective, or UV protective & non-glare in one. We also offer plexiglass in regular or UV.

UV protective glass has an invisible coating which effectively blocks 97% of the most damaging ultraviolet rays. When not blocked, these rays can fade and deteriorate all types of art.

Non-glare glass has been etched on one side to diffuse reflected light, eliminating all glare. It also produces a matte finish.


Needlework Needlework

We are experienced in framing needlepoint, cross stitch, petit point, crochet, lace and tatting, as well as many other fabric pieces such as batiks and decorative scarves. We know how much time and effort goes into creating your needlework, so this is why we treat every item as a valuable, original piece of art. Many times these items carry a lot of sentimental value and should be framed using conservation methods.

*We kindly ask that customers clean their own needlework before bringing it in for framing.


Shadow Box Shadow Box

Souvenirs, mementos, family treasures, collections, medals, sports memorabilia... shadowbox frames are deep enough to hold three dimensional objects of all kinds. Objects can be combined with photographs, postcards, and invitations -the possibilities are endless. This is an attractive solution to proudly display and protect your cherished items. A shadowbox adds interest to a room and is always a great conversation piece. We can help you choose the optimal layout to display your objects, so get that collection out and bring it in for a free estimate.


Lamination Lamination

Lamination is a process which permanently seals your image onto a 7/16" medite board. The surface is covered by a protective matte film which is anti-reflective and washable with a damp cloth. The edges are bevelled and finished in your choice of 14 colours. Lamination is a very durable and economical process commonly used for posters, newspaper articles, and certificates.


Flush Mount Flush Mount

This is a variation of the lamination process. A flushmout protrudes 1" from the wall and is hallow in the back to keep it lighter. Flushmount is usually the best solution for mounting oversized prints.


Canvas Transfer

Any print, poster, or photo can be transferred onto canvas to give it the look and texture of an original painting. The finished product is attractive and hard to tell from an original. You can either hang your canvas transfer as is, or frame it as you would any oil painting.
