To learn more, feel free to visit this page on our website.

If I frame my print in a floating frame, what will be the total size of the artwork?

To create a visual depth effect, 1 cm of space is added on each side between the print and the frame, for a total of 2 cm.
The thickness of the black or white wood frames is 0.8 cm, totaling 1.6 cm.
The thickness of the oak or wenge wood frames is 1 cm on the front, totaling 2 cm.
