Mount Framing operates from Little Hartley on Wiradjuri/Gundungurra land. We serve Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Lithgow and The Central Tablelands. Mount Framing also services interstate clients.
Where do you get your timber from?
At Mount Framing, we believe in using a wide range of unique and sustainable sources to create frames with a certain degree of character. We source materials from demolition sites and renovations as well as recycling centres and reclaimed timber merchants. We've even used flooded trees from the bottom of a lake in Tasmania (Hydro Wood), forgotten boards from underneath a client’s house, salvage logs, old piers, and end-of-use furniture.
Where do you get your glass from?
Most of our frames are made with Ultra Vue premium picture framing glass due to its high clarity and reflection-blocking properties. We also upcycle old picture-frame glass, vintage sheet glass and off-cuts as much as possible. If you need museum glass we can get that in too. Generally, we steer away from acrylic sheets as its floppy nature is prone to distracting reflections.
What are your turnaround times?
After a quote has been accepted and deposit paid it's generally 4 weeks until the frame is ready. If you are short on time just let us know, certain jobs can be expedited.
Do you sell your frame moulding/profiles?
Yes, although we mostly produce small batches of mouldings for in-house use. However, if you are a framer looking for a supplier, a hobbyist or an artist/maker do get in touch, we'd love to help - a few metres, short lengths, long lengths or bulk, we can supply you with custom profiles to suit your needs.
Do you produce ready-made frames?
Yes. Head over to the online shop for a small range of bespoke products made. These mostly suit small items for desktop use however we plan to make a range of exhibition-ready kit frames in the future. Keep checking back, or, if you have an idea for a new product, please drop a line via the contact page
Where is your pricing?
Due to the varied and custom nature of framing our prices aren't listed online. If you need a detailed quote or just a price guide get in touch for a no-obligation quote.
Are you hiring?
We often seek out skilled technicians, makers and subcontractors in the fields of canvas stretching, artwork conservation, timber salvaging and custom finishing. If you have general art-making skills and a passion for the handling of art in all its forms, or just a penchant for tinkering, please get in touch.
