kehystäjä

A kehystäjä is a Finnish term that translates to "framer" in English. It refers to a person or business that specializes in the creation and fitting of frames for various purposes. These purposes can include framing artwork, photographs, mirrors, diplomas, and other decorative or sentimental items.

Kehystäjät often work with a wide range of materials for frames, such as wood, metal, and plastic. They possess knowledge of different framing techniques and styles, allowing them to provide expert advice to customers on the best framing options for their specific needs. This includes considerations like the type of artwork, the desired aesthetic, and the intended location of the framed item.

Beyond simply providing a frame, many kehystäjät offer additional services. These can include matting, which is the decorative border placed between the artwork and the frame, using acid-free materials to protect the item. They may also offer glazing options, such as regular glass, non-glare glass, or acrylic, each with its own properties and benefits. Some businesses also provide custom framing services, creating unique frames tailored to specific dimensions or designs. The expertise of a kehystäjä ensures that valuable or cherished items are presented attractively and protected from damage.
