Frames
Da Kiefer, das wir für unsere Keilrahmen standardmäßig verwenden, für Einrahmungen zu weich ist, nutzen wir stattdessen sogenanntes Meranti für rechteckige und quadratische Einrahmungen.
Merantiholz stammt aus Südostasien und wir oft zur Möbelherstellung, aber auch für Türen und Fenster verwendet. Die Variante Dark Red Meranti zeichnet sich durch ähnliche Festigkeitseigenschaften wie Eiche aus und hat ein gutes Stehvermögen. Es lässt sich gut bearbeiten, messern und schälen, leimen sowie polieren. Dieses Holz verwenden wir für größere Formate über 1 Meter, da dies beim Bearbeiten besonders stabil und gerade bleibt. Für kleinere Formate bis 1 Meter nutzen wir das etwas günstigere Light Red Meranti.
Auf Wunsch unserer Kunden produzieren wir Einrahmungen auch aus härteren Holzqualitäten wie Eiche oder Buche. Unser oberstes Ziel ist es, eine Balance zwischen Preis und Qualität zu erreichen.
Sämtliche Einrahmungen werden in unserer Partnerwerkstatt in Polen produziert.
Round framing is made from MDF (medium density fibreboard), because this wood is easier to process than other types of wood due to its lower strength, ie it can be bent into circles. Every other wood would break. By default, we only produce our framing for circles to a depth of 1.8 cm and not above a size of 80 cm. For circles over 80 cm we can not guarantee stability, as they may break during transportation / shipping. If such a framing breaks during transport, it must be reproduced, a repair is not possible.
Floating frames are ideal for framing stretched canvases. Our floating frames surround the artwork with a 5 mm gap (the frame profile thickness is also 5 mm).You can view the exact dimensions in the diagram located in the photo section. The frames are crafted from Meranti—a lightweight yet highly robust tropical hardwood. Meranti wood features a color tone ranging from light brown to medium brown, sometimes with a slight reddish tint. The precise shade of the wood depends on the specific batch (as it is a 100% natural product). The sample photo illustrates a light brown shade. Upon request, we can also produce floating frames using other wood types: oak, beech, ash, pine, thermo-ash, and walnut. Would you like the frame to be oiled? No problem—we offer that service as well. The benefits of oiling: it brings out the wood grain and deepens the color, protects against fading and discoloration caused by sunlight, and makes it easier to wipe away dust.Other specific dimensions and profile thicknesses are also available for this item. If you are interested, please send an email to info@peters-art.de providing the following details: Image dimensions (L x W x H) (Alternatively, instead of the image depth, you may specify the required height of the inner frame profile.) Desired frame profile thickness (front face) Desired gap between the image and the frame edge Desired wood type Natural wood or oiled wood finish Additionally, upon request, we can mount your artwork within the frame for you. The cost for this service ranges from €20 to €40, depending on the size. We do not produce the artworks themselves—only the frames!
Oval framing is made from MDF (medium density fibreboard), because this wood is easier to process than other types of wood due to its lower strength, ie it can be bent into ovals. Every other wood would break. By default, we only produce our framing for ovals to a depth of 1.8 cm and not above a size of 80 cm. For ovals over 80 cm we can not guarantee stability, as they may break during transportation / shipping. If such a framing breaks during transport, it must be reproduced, a repair is not possible.
