Common questions
Browse our frequently asked questions below.
How long does framing take?
Most custom framing is finished in a few weeks. Oversized, conservation or complex work can take longer. We will give you a timeframe when we see the piece.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Collect from the Palmerston North studio, or we pack the finished frame and deliver throughout New Zealand.
What should I bring?
The work itself if you can, or clear photos and measurements. Preferences for timber, colour or glass help — otherwise we will advise in the studio.
