Tips and Ideas for using FrameSpace and EconoSpace in all types of picture framing situations.

 

Before you clean the glass...

Viewing Art in Frame Swipe Glass

Framespace: Although standard 1/8" frame/glass allowance will work, it is recommended to minimize this allowance to prevent the glass from shifting so much in the frame. Remember that the spacers will shift with the glass and will become more visible under the lip of the frame.

Econospace: A 1/32" or at most a 1/16"allowance is recommended to keep the spacer from shifting too far.

It is recommended and always good practice to take a few seconds and swipe (seam or bevel the edges of) the glass slightly before you clean it or apply spacers. This will make it much easier and safer to apply Framespace and with Econospace it will help keep the glass from chipping in metal frames. Use a whetstone, a hand seamer, or a smooth river rock. Just a couple of light strokes is all it takes.
