Hi, we’re well into the frantic rush to get everything done for your Christmas orders. We do have a wide selection of high quality ready made frames which we’ve expanded this year. We’ll offer a mount cutting service right up to Christmas Eve to go with the ready mades. We’ll also provide you with high quality printing on a next day service.

The latest date for bespoke framing orders guaranteed to be ready by Christmas Eve is Tuesday 10th December.

We’ll be closing for our winter break on Christmas Eve 2019 at 2pm, and will reopen on Saturday 4th January 2020.

Other than that our opening hours remain the same:

• Monday to Friday 9.30 to 4.30
• Saturdays 11 to 5
• Sundays closed.

Seasons Greetings!

Over the past few weeks we’ve been installing and calibrating our new 44 inch printer, an upgrade from the 24 inch one we’ve been using for the past 8 years or so. We’re currently stocking 3 paper types in this new size, Matt, Etching and Photo Rag. For more details on our printing service click here!

We are regularly asked to provide high quality printing and framing for corporate clients, such as Bars, Restaurants, Offices and Hotels.

Please call us with an idea of the style you are looking for, or send us some images of the pictures you’d like framing.

We have a great creative team who can come up with the right printing and framing solutions for your company.

Trade discounts and free local delivery are offered for larger orders.

As well as our Fine Art / Giclee printing service, we can also offer a professional photography service for artists wishing to create prints / reproductions of their work. As always for customers of Framing Manchester we’ll devote our friendly and personal service, tailored to produce the best results for each artwork. We take photographs in a studio environment to ensure even lighting of the artwork, then undertake editing to maximise the potential for printing. We use a full frame DSLR camera, plus top quality professional lens, to maximise the image quality.

The standard charge per artwork is £50 inc VAT, and discounts are offered should you wish to bring in multiple artworks. This includes:

• Professional Photography
• Colour Correction to make the images as close to your originals as possible.
• Printed proof
• You retain full rights to the images, we keep a copy on file for whenever you need prints in the future.

For larger pictures (usually above A2) we may charge more as we will have to photograph in sections then stitch them together to achieve high resolution. This service is offered from £100.

Please call us on 0161 850 2833 for more details, or email info@framingmanchester.co.uk

As part of Chorlton Arts Festival 2016 we’re showcasing our framing skills with some artworks of our own.

The pictures are created using our Computerised Mount Cutter, built up from layers of different colours to produce some great 3D effects.

The exhibition will be on display in our window for the next couple of weeks

There’s a variety of Glass to choose from when deciding on the best for your pictures. Anti glare glass is becoming increasingly popular with our customers. It is made from a Water White glass, then has a special coating which cuts down reflections to a minimum. The example below illustrates this, the right hand side is covered with normal picture glass, the left hand side with Anti Glare glass.

We also stock UV protection glass which is essential for conservation to stop fading and damage to your precious artworks, as well as Acrylic glazing for larger pieces or public places where the use of glass is potentially a safety risk.

We’re happy to advise on the most appropriate glazing for your frames. Do ask us in store, or call us on 0161 850 2833.

Here’s an example of a framed ceramic poppy from the Tower of London display. We set it back in a very deep frame, mounted the certificate, and used anti-glare glass.

More than five million people visited the stunning display at the Tower of London, for which nearly 900,000 hand made ceramic poppies were used.

Now the poppies have been sent out to everyone that bought one, you might need a great way of displaying yours!

Framing Manchester’s range of prints for sale has been growing, and this Pulp print has been proving very popular.

It’s an open edition Lithograph Print, signed by the artist. Available while stocks last for £40.00. We’re also selling them expertly box framed with anti glare glass for £130.00. (Other framing options are available!)

A great gift for the keen Pulp / Jarvis Cocker fans out there!

Since moving to our high street premises on Manchester Road in the heart of Chorlton, we’ve developed a great range of ‘off the shelf’ frames, especially good if you’re in a hurry or have a tight budget. We can usually cut mounts while you wait if you prefer, or to help make your picture fit a frame. We stock a range of good quality and stylish aluminium frames by Nielsen, in the popular A sizes, in black white and silver. Prices start from £15.00 for A4.

Also we have a great range of photo frames which make great gifts, our aim is to always have something a little different and stylish for you to choose from. Prices start from just a few pounds!
