What kind of matting is used in your frames?
The matting used is only "archival" quality and the back board meets or exceeds the Library of Congress standard for museum framing. All mats are fade resistant and will protect the diploma from yellowing.

The highest quality picture framing glass. This glass is not non-glare.

What type of wood are the frames made out of?
The frames are made from either Ramon (hardwood) or Jeltong wood that are harvested in Malaysia and milled and stained in Italy to achieve the highest quality finish. The wood moldings are kiln-dried and are either sprayed with oil-based lacquer or satin finish to achieve the highest durability and its elegant quality finish. All wood used in the production of the frames is farm grown and is not from the rain forest. We pride ourselves in helping preserve the rain forest.
