Mats
At Sandfly Custom Framing, all of our matboards are acid-free to ensure the best protection possible for your piece.We carry Bainbridge, Crescent and Artique matboards, in paper, suede, silk, linen, color core, black core, & decorative mats. Mats range in thickness from single ply all the way up to 8-ply, to provide a large degree of customization. Selecting the specific look for your art will be more fun than shopping for furniture or clothing. We are here to help you select the colors and patterns that best suit your art and enhance the initial beauty that you saw in it to begin with.
Sandfly Custom Framing uses a computerized mat cutter enabling us to offer an infinite number of design possibilities. If desired, you can dress up a single mat by simply putting a v-groove around the opening. This saves you the expense of using two mats and can give the illusion of more than one mat. You can also add a decorative design or use an open v-groove to give your piece a more interesting look. Clip Art or original designs can be added to any of your mats. Just ask and we will be glad to work with you on making any piece your very own. The possibilities are limitless!
