Framekits
Nielsen Framekits offer the flexibility and appearance of a custom frame at a ready-made price! Framekit packages include one pair of frame sides of a given length. Two packages make one frame. Packages include all required assembly hardware. Wire is not included. Sizes Framekits are available in sizes from 5" up to 40" in one inch increments, plus 8-1/2" is also available. Each Framekit is cut with a little "allowance," about an 1/16" bigger than the labeled size to allow for easy assembly. Profiles
Framekits are available in one of two profiles, either #5, or #11. Please note the depth that each frame can accomodate. Often times, a thinner backing board with an 1/8" thickness is appropriate, depending on the number of mats and type of glazing material you decide to use. Framekits will not fit a standard size stretcher bar such as those used on painted canvases. Colors
All the colors have a high polish, except Matte Black which has a satin finish. Contrast Grey in certain light can almost appear black, but is an medium-dark anodized grey, and works quite well with black and white photos. Only Silver and Gold are available in both #5 and #11 profiles. Contrast Grey and Anodic Black are available in the #5 profile, Matte Black is available in the #11 profile. Note: All color swatches depicted on this web site are best approximations from a computer monitor. Quality The finish on a Framekit is of equal quality to that of Nielsen's professional framing line of highly respected mouldings. Framekits are less expensive due to the shear volume that are manufactured and they are extruded with slightly thinner walls than that of Nielsen's professional framing mouldings. Their strength, however, is more than adequate almost all applications. (If you are going to be dropping them on a repeated basis, that may be another story!) We sell the Framekits at an everyday discount of 50% off of suggested list price. Contact us for current pricing. Stock We stock all available manufactured Framekits. Other Necessities Our full service framing department can cut any required materials for you.
