Fix-a-Frame are custom picture framers who specialise in large, awkward or unusual framing requests.

Since 1991 David and his team have been providing these services to local customers in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

We keep stocks of a wide range of products at our Mt. Gravatt Showroom.

Over the years we have become responsive to requests to find unusual art materials and specialist framing tools.

Having taught picture framing at TAFE both in Adult Education and having both written the learning resources and trained picture framers nationally David has a deep understanding of the technical side of framing.

With this experience he has sourced equipment that is both easy to use and economical for the home based framer.

Picture Frames

You will find a wealth of frames displayed in our custom framing showroom. We have the largest range of corner samples on display in Southern Queensland with many having matching fillet enhancements and hand applied colours.

One of our greatest skills is in providing quality advice when it comes to selecting colours and getting your framing right.

In fact we guarantee it
"Be totally delighted or your framing will be changed for FREE"

We can offer this guarantee because we take the time with you hand in hand, guiding you towards a sound decision about your framing choices.

Our point of difference is that we can show you your pictures vertically just as if you are viewing them on your wall at home. Couple that with our Computerised Visualisation Software where you view your finished frame on a large LCD screen and you will be sure to get it right.


Computerised Frame Visualisation

SEE THE FULL PICTURE BEFORE YOU DECIDE!


When you use the visualisation software you take out the guesswork normally associated with choosing a picture frame.

Many people find it difficult to choose the right frame for their pictures and this can be due to several reasons but most often it is just that we are not all artistic or able to construct the finished frame in our minds.

Visualisation software takes the predicted vision out of your mind and shows you the finished frame right before your eyes.

Artist Materials

From acrylic paint to oils, pencils to brushes just take a look at what we keep in store to keep both the amateur and professional artist happy.

You will be even happier on Sunday afternoon when you have run out of something and there is some available to help.
We are more than happy to try to source hard to find and specialist art supplies.

The ranges in stock include Winsor & Newton, Faber Castell, Rembrandt, Canson, Arches and more. We keep pads and papers in many sizes and references. We keep sets of products that make great gifts for the artist at Christmas time and of course we have most of the materials available for individual purchase so it makes it easy to re-stock your colour range.

Please contact us if you have a special request or just want to find out more info on our art supplies.


Photos on Canvas

Since 2008 Fix-a-Frame has been producing high quality digital inkjet prints onto canvas using Epson wide format printers.

The advantage of this technology is that the inks used are light fast and archival.

When they are printed on sound canvas and treated with Printshield they have a lifespan under normal household conditions between 80-100 years.

Professional Retouching

We employ a full-time photographic artist who understands the techniques and results that you require when it comes to preserving your memories.

You can consult with the re-toucher to discuss your exact requirements. Find out more information and examples HERE.


Your Imagination

You are not only restricted to a straight photo on canvas or paper.
The designs are unlimited and only restricted by your imagination.

For example, imagine taking all your children's photos and arranging them into a great collage for a 21st Birthday or making Dad proud to show off the fish he's caught.
Well bring in your shots and allow your imagination to run wild. You will consult with the design experts so don't be shy.

Prints & Posters

Fix-a-Frame has an exclusive range of designer prints that we develop and design to match specific trends and furnishings. These are usually supplied to the trade and seen in those design homes or magazines.

We are also proud to supply prints from the largest print distributors in the World including Bruce McGraw, Wynn Devon and Top Art.

We recommend and are affiliated with ALL POSTERS.COM the World's largest online poster store. You can pay them a visit here if you like.

Framing Kits

If you want to save some money and are a bit handy you can always get a frame kit custom made for your picture.

The kits can include all the bits & pieces you need to frame your picture but without the custom framing price tag. Most of our chop frames online can be ordered as a frame kit but we don't ship glass so it is recommended you pay us a visit to pick up the kit.

Ask in in-store or email us with your requirements.

DIY Framing Equipment

There is a huge range of framing equipment out there but what we've done is distil the best from these and we stock only what really works and is competitive for the home DIY framer.

You can try out all our equipment if you visit the shop and if you want to buy online go here.


DIY Framing Supplies

We stock full sheets of more than 140 different coloured matboards, mouldings in lengths, backing boards and glass.

There is a wide variety of glazing product now available. Some have UV filters to protect your work from fading. Some are Matt finished and at the top end we have Museum glass that is virtually invisible. Fix-a-Frame also has an extensive range of "nik-naks".

All those things that picture framers keep to themselves, like...
"D rings", "V nails", turnbuttons, felt bumpers, push points...in fact just about every little fitting or accessory available.


Chop Service

Our chop service provides you with the easy way to purchase picture frame mouldings. Lengths of picture framing are pre-cut to sizes of your choice. They are then slotted at the mitre so you can join your frame with a special wedge which is provided.

When measuring your artwork, please remember that we need to know the EXACT size of your picture.

The advantages of buying frames using a "chop" service are:
• Precision mitre cuts at 45.... No need to worry about the accuracy    of your tools.
• There is no of waste material left over. You get the right amount of    moulding you need.
• Cut accurately to the size that will fit your picture.
• No left overs means no storage problems and no waste.
• The costs of cutting and delivery can sometimes be less than the    cost of leftovers or mistakes in cutting.
• With no cutting tools your start up costs for DIY framing are far less    and its easier to get started.
• The chopped frame is then dispatched to you.
