When it comes to showcasing your artwork, photos, or keepsakes, custom framing makes all the difference. At Ottawa Framing & Display, our professional framers bring over a quarter century of experience to every project. Whether you need a simple frame to get your piece on the wall or an archival solution to protect it for generations, we make framing easy, accessible, and affordable.
What Is Custom Framing?
Custom framing is the process of designing a frame specifically for your piece — not just fitting it into a standard store-bought size. With custom framing, you can:
- Choose frame styles and finishes that match your décor
- Add mats to enhance the artwork and provide spacing from the glass
- Select glazing options that protect against UV rays and glare
- Ensure the piece is mounted properly and securely
In short, custom framing is about more than display — it’s about protecting and presenting your artwork in the best possible way.
Basic vs. Archival Framing
We understand that not every item needs the same level of care, which is why we offer both basic custom framing and archival custom framing.
Basic Framing
Perfect for posters, décor items, and pieces where the main goal is to get them displayed beautifully and affordably.
Archival Framing
For valuable artwork, family heirlooms, or items with sentimental meaning, archival framing is the best choice. Archival methods use acid-free materials, UV-protective glass, and museum-quality techniques to preserve your piece for decades without fading, discoloration, or damage.
If it’s worth keeping forever, it’s worth framing the right way.

In-Home & Office Consultations
We don’t just bring frame samples — we bring expertise. Our professional framers provide full design consultations on site, taking into account:
- Sizing & Proportions — ensuring your artwork is balanced and scaled to fit the wall or room.
- Glazing Options & Light Sources — whether your piece will hang in direct sunlight, under bright office lights, or in a softly lit living room, we help you choose the right glass or acrylic. From UV-protective coatings that guard against fading to non-glare finishes that cut reflections, your artwork will look its best no matter where the light comes from.
- Hanging Hardware & Placement — we recommend the safest and most secure way to display your art.
- Frame & Mat Colours — chosen to complement both your artwork and your existing décor.
Every detail is tailored to your space so you know your piece will look perfect the moment it’s installed.
