Factory Frames is a picture frame shop at 72 Lunn Avenue in Mount Wellington, Auckland. It has a 4.5 rating on Google and a website.
A good framer helps you choose a frame and mount that suit both the artwork and the room, protecting the piece while making it look its best. Expect to bring in the item, talk through the style, colours and glass, and get a quote before work starts. When choosing a framer, ask about conservation materials, such as acid-free mounts and UV-protective glass, which matter for photographs, prints and valuable items, and ask how long the job will take. Regulars know that a wide mount can make a small print look more substantial, that non-reflective glass helps in a bright room, that hanging a picture out of direct sun stops fading and that framing takes time, so ordering well before a gift or event is wise. Custom framing also suits sports shirts, medals and memorabilia, so ask what is possible. Bring measurements of the wall if you are choosing a large piece.
For anyone in Mount Wellington and east Auckland, Factory Frames on Lunn Avenue is a local shop to ask about framing.
