Stacked Frame

Stacked Frame

Definition

Stacked Frame refers to a picture frame construction in which two or more individual frame mouldings are combined into a single assembly. This method is often used to create a more substantial visual profile, add depth, or combine different finishes and textures in a single frame.

Applications

• Enhancing the visual impact of artwork by increasing frame thickness and presence.
• Combining different moulding styles or finishes for a custom aesthetic.
• Accommodating deeper artwork or mats without compromising frame integrity.

Benefits

• Creates a more dramatic and layered visual effect.
• Allows for flexibility in design without needing custom single-piece mouldings.
• Supports thicker or multi-layered mat and artwork sandwiches.
