Colorplak Laminated UV Prints

What is Colorplak? Colorplak is a process done to any photo, map, print, or kids art that makes the art very durable. It resists moisture and has virtually no glare making it perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and even a covered patio or deck. It has 80% UV protection from discoloring and fading but would do best in the shade if used outdoors. It also is perfect for maps or large prints in an office because they do not require frames. They come ready to hang in several styles. Floated on another color to resemble a matted picture, mounted on a box frame, and finished with a variety of colored edges to match any decor. Plus the best part is this process is very economical!! Clean with any household cleaner and a soft rag.

Custom Framing

Did you know framed art stays on most peoples walls for an average of 11 years? Eleven years! A lot happens in 11 years, Presidents change, kids grow up, lifestyle changes, and still the same tired picture hangs on the wall. A person doesn't need to remodel and completely change their home too frequently. There is comfort in tradition, but there are things that can be done to update and uplift those walls. If you don't want average walls, want to update and refresh, come see us at The Golden Pear Custom Framing. We have hundreds of frame and mat samples, a large selection of unframed prints as well as custom framed art ready to go. We would be happy to assist you in choosing colors and designs. We are here to help you have beautiful walls to welcome you home.

Custom Matting

Aesthetic decision and functional purpose! Matting provides a spacer to protect paper art of photographs from direct contact with the glass. This is necessary, particularly in humid climates, to prevent the art from coming in contact with condensation or sticking to the glass and permanently damaging it. For example, if a photograph is framed in direct contact with the glass, in a few years, the silver oxide emulsion will adhere to the glass, causing unrecoverable damage to the photo. The spacing provided by the mat will prevent this while it also provides structural support for the artwork.

Great Personalized Gift

We can cut any word or name out of the mat color of your choice! $5 per letter and $5 for the frame and glass no matter how large! (i.e. Luke is $25) You can choose a mat color and frame color choices are black, silver, or gold in brushed or any shiny finish. It is very easy to add picture and you can change them out as often as you like!
