Preserving Artwork the Right Way: Why Custom Fine Art Framing Matters
Whether it’s a valuable painting, a cherished photograph, or a limited-edition print, every piece of art deserves to be treated with care—and how you frame it plays a crucial role in its preservation, presentation, and long-term value.
Framing isn’t just about choosing something that looks good on your wall. It’s about protecting your artwork from damage, enhancing its visual impact, and elevating its overall presence. That’s why serious collectors, artists, and galleries turn to professionals for custom fine art framing in Los Angeles.
Framing Is More Than Aesthetic—It’s Protective
The environment can be unforgiving to artwork. Light exposure can cause fading, humidity can warp paper, and acidic materials can discolor prints and canvases. Without proper protection, even the most beautiful art can deteriorate over time.
Professional framers use archival materials that shield artwork from these threats. UV-protective glazing, acid-free mat boards, and sealed backing all contribute to preserving the integrity and vibrancy of your piece. Whether it’s a contemporary canvas or a century-old photograph, the right frame can ensure it lasts for generations.
Why Go Custom?
Off-the-shelf frames often fall short—either in sizing, quality, or aesthetic fit. Custom framing allows every detail to be tailored to the piece. From the exact dimensions and matting to frame style, finish, and depth, custom options help highlight your artwork while protecting it.
If you’re framing something delicate, valuable, or uniquely shaped, a custom solution ensures the perfect fit—both visually and structurally. It also enables you to match the piece to the surrounding space, be it a gallery, home, or office.

Our Process: Built for Art and Built to Last
When you bring a piece to Frame2000, our team evaluates the artwork’s material, size, condition, and purpose. We then recommend a framing approach tailored to your needs. This includes using archival mounting methods that avoid glues or tapes that could harm the artwork. We also offer UV-resistant glazing, such as acrylic or museum glass, to protect against fading.
Matting styles are selected to enhance the artwork’s color, depth, and balance, while moulding finishes are chosen to suit your design preferences. For more specialized pieces, we offer float mounts, double mats, shadowboxes, and custom framing for non-standard formats. The result is a beautifully framed piece that’s both durable and visually stunning.
Ideal for Homes, Galleries, and Commercial Spaces
Whether you’re a homeowner showcasing a personal collection, a gallery curating an exhibition, or a designer staging interiors, professional framing adds polish and prestige. A quality frame draws the viewer’s eye, enhances the story of the piece, and communicates value.
For businesses, custom art framing also reinforces branding and aesthetic consistency—transforming bare walls into focal points that leave a lasting impression.
