Frames
Postage of Frames.
NOTE: All frames delivered by post will be supplied with framing acrylic in place of glass. This product is a lightweight , shatter resistant product that is virtually impossible to tell apart from glass in a frame. Coated with tough UV protectors, this high quality acrylic sheet in addition to other properties such as weather resistance and break resistance, makes it a very popular choice for artwork.
If you do require glass you will need to specifically request upon ordering and we will not guarantee against breakage in post.
