Choosing the moulding and our range

The moulding is the profile of the frame: its width, depth, shape and finish. We hold corner samples so you can lay them against the work and see how each one sits beside its colours.

Our samples run from narrow to wide and from flat to stepped and rounded profiles. Finishes include natural light and mid tone timbers, painted colours such as slate blue and green, black, dark brown and gilt, including a bamboo pattern gilt moulding.

Mounting

A mount sets a border between the work and the frame and holds the face of the work away from the glass.

Canvases

A canvas is usually framed without glass and set into a deeper moulding so the edges of the stretcher sit inside the frame.

Framing from a joinery workshop

Emeu.com Ltd is an independent building and joinery company based in Holt, North Norfolk. Framing sits alongside our architectural joinery and interiors work, with the same approach applied to a smaller piece of timber: measured to the job, cut to fit and joined to last.

Cutting the mitres

The moulding is cut on a Danish made mitre guillotine. It shears each length at 45 degrees, so the four corners meet cleanly when the frame is closed up.

joining the corners

The corners are joined on an underpinner. With the frame clamped flat, it drives V nails up into the back of each mitre, which pulls the joint tight with nothing showing on the face.

Frequently asked questions

The answers below cover the questions we hear most often. If your question is not here, call EMEU on 07720 312583 or send an enquiry through the contact form.

What can you frame?

Art works, prints, posters, canvases and books. If you have something else in mind, ask us. You name it and we will frame it.

Are your frames made to measure?

Yes. Every frame is cut and joined to the size of the piece it holds, rather than chosen from a set of standard sizes.

How much does bespoke framing cost?

Pricing is on enquiry. The cost depends on the size of the work, the moulding and the mounting and glazing chosen, so we price each frame individually.

Do you frame canvases?

Yes. Canvases are framed as well as art works, prints, posters and books.

Can you frame a book?

Yes. Books can be framed, and we also make book frames, available through our online shop.

Where is the framing service based?

We are based in Holt, North Norfolk, and work predominantly across north Norfolk and wider Norfolk.

How do I get a price for framing?
