About Our Frames
MOULDING
All Milburn frames are made from new wood that is cut down from government regulated and controlled tree farms. For every tree that is cut down, a new seedling is planted. All stains and lacquers used to finish the profiles are water based and environmentally friendly.
MATBOARD
Our matboard is made from 100% recycled materials. It is of course acid-free, with a white-core bevel that will never fade or discolour, because of a treatment process that removes the impurities of the pulp fibers. All surface papers are produced with environmentally friendly colourants and all components are laminated with natural, environmentally sound starch adhesives.
Our suede mats are made with a white conservation quality core and backing, which meets all standards set by the FINE ART TRADE GUILD for conservation grade matting.
GLASS
All frames are assembled with 2 mm clear glass that offers UV protection.
PACKAGING
Our paper and cardboard packaging and boxes are made from 100% recycled materials. The bags we use for our frames are made of polypropylene and are bio-degradable after 18 months.
FRAME ASSEMBLY
To frame your diploma, follow these simple steps:
1. Remove the fibrex backing on the back of the frame by turning the tension clips.
2. Remove the acid-free black backing paper to expose the back side of the mat.
3. Peel back the covering on the acid-free re-positionable two way tape that runs along the top of the mat.
4. Centre your diploma and press down along the top over the two way tape.
5. If your diploma needs to be removed, it will not get damaged as it will lift easily from the re-positionable tape.
6. Put down the black backing paper and re-insert the fibrex backing by turning the tension clips into the channel that is cut into the moulding.
7. You are now ready to hang your diploma frame without any need for wire. The tension clip along the top of the frame is centered so you just need to insert it into a hanger or a screw with a plug.
