If your artwork is created on board rather than canvas, choosing the right frame style is essential. An art board inset frame is specifically designed to hold artwork mounted on rigid boards such as MDF or illustration board.
At The Picture Gallery, our art board inset frames made to measure provide a secure and refined way to display paintings, prints and creative work produced on flat surfaces.
How Does an Inset Frame Work?
Unlike floating frames for canvas, inset frames are designed so the artwork sits neatly within the frame structure. This creates a flush, structured appearance where the edges of the board are protected and visually contained.
Inset frames are commonly used for:
-
Acrylic paintings on board
-
Mixed media artwork
-
Mounted prints
-
Illustration or graphic design pieces
This style provides a clean, professional finish that enhances both contemporary and traditional artwork.
Why Choose an Art Board Inset Frame?
Framing artwork on board offers both aesthetic and practical advantages.
Key benefits include:
-
Protects the edges of rigid artwork
-
Creates a neat, structured presentation
-
Helps stabilise heavier art materials
-
Offers a sleek gallery-style finish
Because the frame is made to measure, it ensures the artwork sits securely without movement or gaps.
Customising Your Inset Frame
When ordering an inset frame for artwork, you can tailor several elements to suit your display preferences.
These include:
-
Frame depth to match board thickness
-
Choice of wood or colour finish
-
Contemporary or traditional moulding profiles
-
Sizes from small pieces to large statement artwork
This level of customisation allows you to create a frame that complements both the artwork and the surrounding space.
