Our expertise lies in custom work, embracing your design and size preferences. We offer acrylic frames in custom sizes up to 48” x 96”, meticulously laser-cut with exceptional polished edges. Both back (rear) and front (cover) acrylic panels/blanks are made-to-order, available in various sizes and finishes like clear, non-glare, UV-filter, or satin frost. Standard acrylic frames typically feature a 1/4” thick clear back and a 1/8” thick non-glare front cover. Panels are drilled for M6-M10 studs based on the standoff hardware size and style. Choose the appropriate length and diameter of standoff supports according to the frame size and wall projection requirements (for small size panoramic frames up to 12” x 36” inserts use 5/8” or 3/4” diameter standoffs; for medium and large size panoramic frames use or 1” diameter standoffs; for all oversized frames we recommended the use of 1” diameter standoffs only). For special orders under time constraints we are uniquely capable of providing fast turnaround when necessary. To initiate your project, kindly use the Quote Request Form or provided links to specify sizes and details; please note that a minimum order quantity of (4) four pieces or more is required.
