framing photographs
Přísečná near Český Krumlov · 25 min from Č. Budějovice · Free consultation
what's involved
Photographs fade quietly. A cheap frame with an acid mat and ordinary glass won't ruin the print overnight — but in a few years you'll see yellowed edges, brown spots and faded colours no one can bring back. That is why we frame photographs with archival techniques: acid-free mats, a spacer bar that lifts the print off the glass, and anti-reflective or Tru Vue museum glass with a UV filter up to 99 %. Whether it's a family photo, an artist's print or a historic image, it stays fresh for decades.
what you get
Archival protection
Acid-free mats and backing keep the photograph in its original state for decades. No yellowing, no brown spots.
No glare
Tru Vue anti-reflective glass removes reflections. The photograph stands out even on a lit wall, as if no glass were in front of it.
Spacer bar
Lifts the photograph off the glass and stops the emulsion sticking when humidity shifts. A small detail that saves the print.
Large-format prints
We frame photographs up to 250 × 150 cm. Mounting on Dibond, Kapa or stretching on a stretcher.
Every technique
Classic photos, fine-art prints, Polaroids, daguerreotypes and digital prints — each gets the approach it calls for.
We advise on hanging
We recommend the right height, light and distance from a heat source, so the photo lasts and stands out.
how it works
Bring in the photograph or print. We discuss the format, the material and the purpose — home, exhibition, gift.
We propose a mat, frame and glass. For black-and-white photos we choose neutral tones; for colour we tune to the space.
We mount the photograph with archival techniques. No contact with acid materials, a spacer bar against the glass.
We hand over the finished piece with a hanging system and advice on placement.

questions and answers
Can you frame an old family photograph too?
Yes, and it is exactly these where archival framing pays off most. We work with maximum care and minimal handling; for damaged prints we recommend a restorer.
Which glass is best for photographs?
For everyday placement, anti-reflective Tru Vue. For valuable prints, Museum Glass — it combines anti-reflective properties with up to 99 % UV protection, so the photo won't fade for years.
Do you frame photos on Dibond or Kapa board too?
Yes. A photograph mounted on Dibond we frame in a floating frame, or leave it frameless with just a hanging system — whichever suits the image.
How much does framing a photograph cost?
It depends on the size, the mat and the type of glass. We tell you the price upfront and with no obligation. With us you pay for the craft and archival materials, not for an address in a city centre.
