Hand Made in House
For our bespoke framing you can choose from a full range of mouldings including wood, aluminium, hand painted, stained and ornate mouldings. Our aim is to help you create the right frame for your work. With our painted frames, we offer a full colour. Matching service and can match to colours in the artwork or colours in your décor for the perfect finish.
If you’re looking to have your artwork press-mounted, we can offer this as part of our bespoke framing service. Press mounting involves adhering the artwork to a backing material such as foam board or mount board to create a smooth, flat finish. As this process is not reversible, it may not always be suitable for more valuable or delicate artworks. If you’re unsure which option is best, get in touch, and we’ll be happy to advise.
Our bespoke framing service extends far beyond standard frames. Alongside custom framing, we offer a wide range of fabrication solutions designed to support artists, galleries, and creative installations.
By combining fabrication, printing, and framing under one roof, we streamline the process from production through to presentation, ensuring consistency, quality, and attention to detail at every stage.

STANDARD
OPTIONS
If you're looking for a proven, high-quality starting point, our standard range offers a curated selection of frame styles, materials, and finishes that suit a wide variety of artworks. These options are always kept in stock for a faster turnaround, and can be combined with your choice of mounting, glazing, and hanging solution.
Frame Style
The two main frame styles we offer as standard are deep rebate frames and tray frames.
STANDARD (DEEP REBATE) FRAME: Ideal for modern framing, these frames provide several options for mounting your artwork and include glass or acrylic glazing to protect the piece.
TRAY FRAME: Often used for canvases and mounted pieces, tray frames feature a gap between the frame and artwork, acting as a border. These frames do not include glazing, allowing viewers to fully appreciate the texture and colour of the artwork without any barrier.

PROTECTIVE GLAZING
We offer a range of glass and acrylic options to protect your framed artwork. For spaces where reflections are a concern, our non-reflective glass options reduce glare and ensures optimal visibility. Similarly, our acrylic options offer lightweight durability with choices between standard clarity or non-reflective surfaces. Whether you prioritise clarity, protection, or minimising reflections, our framing team can help you choose the perfect option to complement your artwork and environment.
BACK OF THE FRAME
At Harwood King, we pay attention to every detail, even on the back of your frames. As standard, we use-low stretch hanging cord for smaller frames and sturdy strap hooks for larger, heavier pieces, ensuring secure and balanced hanging. Additionally, cork spacers are affixed to the bottom corners of the frame to ensure a snug fit against the wall. This design not only enhances the frame's stability but also creates a small gap between the artwork and the wall, allowing for airflow that prevents moisture buildup to best preserve your artwork.
Mounting Options
We offer multiple mounting options as standard, allowing you to customise your framing to perfectly suit your artwork's style and presentation needs.
WINDOW MOUNT: Designed to keep your artwork away from the glass, providing a border that enhances your image. Choose from various colours and widths to complement your artwork.
FLOAT MOUNT: Your artwork is mounted against a backing board that complements its colours. A popular choice is to create a floating effect by raising it slightly away from the backing. This style can also be combined with a window mount for added effect.
NO MOUNT: Your artwork is bordered directly by the frame, ensuring a seamless presentation. A small spacer inside the frame's rebate prevents the artwork from touching the protective glazing, preserving its integrity.
