Wood and Metal Picture Frames

Apr 7

Wood and metal frames are two very different materials. Wood has a long history of use for picture frames than metal, but nowadays, metal is more affordable than wood because it is made from dies. Metal frames are also thinner than wood ones, so they take up less space, while wood requires more handiwork. As the popularity of metal frames increases, it will become the cheaper option for larger picture frames. However, wood frame makers are also becoming more expensive, so the quality and craftsmanship of these frames may be lower than that of a metal frame.

Hardwoods

When selecting wood for a picture frame, there are many factors to consider. The material you choose will determine the quality of the finished frame. Some hardwoods are harder than others. Depending on the species, some may splinter or have a fuzzy texture on the edges. If you are looking for a more affordable wood, consider rain, which is softwood. While ramin is also inexpensive, its splintering properties can make it difficult to work with.

For example, the American Hardwoods Wheat Oak frame series is made from recycled wood and resembles real wood. The frame comes in various sizes for standard-sized photos, from 11x17 to 24x36 inches. It also comes with easel backs and glass, so it is suitable for a wide variety of images. It is also possible to find simple or ornate wood picture frames. In addition to the classic wood picture frame, other types of wood are also available.

Softwoods

The wood used to create custom picture frames is often classified as either softwood or hardwood. Hardwood is more durable and has a higher grain structure, but softwoods have an appeal and aesthetics that make them popular for frames. Both types are equally strong and durable, but hardwood frames are more expensive and difficult to work with. Hardwood is derived from trees that shed their leaves in the winter, while softwoods are harvested from trees that keep their leaves throughout the year.

One type of hardwood is Teak, a dense, water-resistant hardwood that comes in both evergreen and deciduous varieties. While it is easily shaped, it can dull a saw blade because of the silica in the tree's body. It is considered to be one of the most rot-resistant types of wood and is an excellent choice for archival picture framing.

MDF

The classic bevel matted photo frame lends a timeless touch to any room. Made from quality MDF wood, it features a built-in easel and a durable glass front. The back panel can be removed to accommodate hanging larger or smaller pictures. Wood picture frames can be found in a variety of colors and styles. Metal frames are more durable than wood. They are a great choice for displaying artwork.

MDF stands for medium-density fiberboard, a recycled wood product. Made from compressed sawdust, MDF resembles the look of real wood. While MDF is cheaper than solid wood, it also requires less maintenance. It is often used in flooring and cabinets, as it has less tendency to warp due to heat and humidity. MDF also looks more natural than wood frames made from recycled materials.

Anodized aluminum

Anodized aluminum picture frames are an excellent choice for mounting abstract oil paintings and watercolors. This lightweight metal is suitable for residential and commercial use. This particular type of frame has a classic style and is available in several colors. The most common surface finish for these frames is anodizing. You can choose from matte, glossy, or frosted finishes. All of these types of frames are available in several widths and will match the size of the mounted print. Hanging hardware is installed.

Anodized aluminum picture frames have two finishes: black and silver. These are available in many sizes and colors and are easily customizable through laser engraving. Custom products are typically shipped within five to ten business days of receiving the artwork. Stock products ship the same day when ordered before 2 PM EST. Rush orders require approval. Anodized frames are available with an easel back and a glass window. The frames are also available in brushed silver.

Silver

A picture frame made of silver and pewter adds a touch of radiance to an artwork. Available in contemporary and ornate styles, these frames can showcase a wide variety of pictures. Choose a contemporary or ornate design to accent your wall. Ornate or contemporary, there's a frame to fit any decor. And because of the many styles and designs available, it's easy to find one that suits your personal taste.

Bronze and silver frames may be more expensive, but the look is more timeless. Bronze frames are made of copper and another metal, usually tin. Because of their oxidation process, they can reach high prices. In fact, the Statue of Liberty was originally a bronze color. In addition to looking beautiful, bronze frames are resistant to oxidization, making them perfect for framing your favorite photos. And if you're looking for something a little different, try a wooden frame.
