Category: Matting, Framing and Glazing
Matting is the thin, flat material included within a picture frame, which serves as decoration and to perform several other, more practical functions, such as separating the art from the glass. A picture frame is a protective and decorative edging for a picture that makes displaying art work safer and easier and sets the picture apart from its surroundings and aesthetically integrates it with them. Glazing is the furnishing of a sheet of glass or plastic within a frame to protect the art from the environment.
