CUSTOM PICTURE FRAMING

For over fifty years custom framing has been a vital part of Kula Photo's many imaging services. Prints that we create can, of course, just be mounted and laminated for free hanging and cardboard easels are also available for table top use. However, if a more durable and long lasting display is required or if you have a special print or piece of artwork or document that needs that custom frame for office or home we have:

NIELSEN'S NEW GUILDED AND PRO MOULDING
LINES ARE NOW AVAILABLE!
DROP BY OUR SHOWROOM IN HARTFORD AND TAKE A LOOK.

"The finishing touch" represents the final step in transforming images we've created for you into products ready for permanent display. To that end, we carry the complete Nielsen/Bainbridge line of metal mouldings - frames for today's lifestyles - and their extensive line of archival and specialty matting materials specifically designed for conservation framing. And why use Nielsen moulding for your framing needs? Listed below are only a few reasons why Nielsen mouldings are superior to the more traditional wood mouldings and should be considered when framing your photos and artwork:

Nielsen frames are stronger and more consistent than wood for narrow black outline frames and are more COST EFFECTIVE. They are perfect for simple document or poster framing. And a special economy line is available for even the tightest budgets.

Nielsen mouldings can have a much NARROWER FACE than wood frames because of the way they are assembled and allow your image to stand out rather than the frame surrounding it.

Metal is inert, making Nielsen a great choice for CONSERVATION FRAMING. Remember, acid migrates from wood frames into artwork over time.

Nielsen frames have much stronger CORNERS THAT DO NOT SEPERATE over time as wood frames often do.

The hanging device WILL NOT PULL OUT OR SPLIT a Nielsen frame as a screw does in wood framing.

Nielsen frames are not affected by humidity changes and will NEVER WARP OR PEEL.

Along with the above advantages of Nielsen metal frames the below chart illustrates clearly that metal frames can often substitute in appearance for most wood mouldings. In almost all instances Nielsen frames far outshine wood not only in durability but also in appearance. And now Nielsen has introduced their Guilded Line that is indistinguishable from real wood mouldings - minimalist archival framing for large art pieces with the warmth of wood is now a reality. Come into our showroom and see for yourself!!

Although many of their specialty styles, as seen above, are visually indistinguishable from fine wood mouldings, we realize that Nielsen metal frames are not to everyone's taste. To this end we also carry a number of fine lines of traditional wood moulding in our showroom (a few are pictured below) to compliment our popular metal mouldings. Along with our showroom moulding samples we have mat corners available to aid you in visualizing which mat and frame combination best suits your needs. We also can mount your canvas paintings on strechers before framing if required. And, of course, a complete line of various types of glass and plexiglas are available to complete the project.

Another reason to use Kula Photo's The Finishing Touch for all your framing needs is our low cost. Since the main focus of our business is imaging, we can give deep discounts on all our framing to induce our clients to use us for one stop shopping. You can benefit from this by bringing your own prints, documents, or artwork to us for matting and framing. (As an example, one of our mounted 20 inch by 30 inch photo posters can be custom framed by us for as little as $33.75 complete and ready to hang in your home or office.) We even have an economy wood moulding line designed expressly for projects with budgetary constraints that require wood framing. Check around for price and then give us a call and see the difference! And, yes, we can package and ship your frames if needed.
