Framing Improvements

Your old frame…as good as new.

Time can take its toll on your framing. We can bring your existing frame back to its former glory — or make it look even better than it did before!

These are the most common framing improvements we offer but if you’d like our help with something we haven’t mentioned here, just let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

Frame improvements can restore your artwork to former glory, as seen with this coastal painting.

Replacement Glazing

Accidents happen…we can replace any broken glass or upgrade your current glazing to a more durable option that offers more protection against light damage and reduces the risk of fading.

New Mount

Freshen up a dull picture or photo by replacing the mount. Ideal if your current mount board is dirty, faded, damaged, or just looking a bit tired.

Extra Mount

If you suspect the original mount on your artwork is causing damage, but you don’t want to remove it, let us know. We can supplement the original mount by adding a museum or conservation-grade mount that sits invisibly between the original and the artwork.

This will slow any further deterioration without harming the artwork or the original mount.

Please note: At Iain Glennie Framing, we don’t offer picture frame or artwork restoration. For improvements of that nature, we recommend consulting with a professional conservator.

Iain, a picture framer based in Aberdeen, sits on his desk, ready to welcome you to his workshop. On the desk to his right is his computer, and on the walls behind him are samples of the frames he can make and wooden swatches of the styles he can create for you.

I used Iain to reframe a picture that had broken after the frame had cracked and the glass shattered. Great service from Iain from the initial appointment in his framing outhouse to the finished product. Will definitely use again in future.
