Browse the categories below to see our range of coloured finishes. All prices are per metre. When you order, enter the number of metres you need and we will round your order up to the nearest full length. Our minimum order value for mouldings is £50, although this may be made up of any mixture of different profiles.
For mouldings apart from veneers and bare woods, the description describes the colour finish rather than the timber. Subtle colour tones and texture rarely show as well as we'd like online, so we always recommend that you ask for sample pieces before you order - contact our samples specialist Ian Sanderson, ian@lionpic.co.uk.

Moulding slips are traditionally used to give a neutral border between moulding and canvas art. They can also be used to good effect with many other framing styles & techniques. Small slips can be used to add a sight edge to mounts or mouldings.
Rectangular profiles can be used as a spacer or slip. They can also be fixed to the bottom of a moulding to add depth to the rebate.

Bare wood mouldings can be waxed, stained, varnished, paintned or gilded. See the 'Specialist Techniques' section under 'Hardware and Supplies' for our extensive range of finishing products.
Different woods have their own characteristics. For example, steamed beech has a relatively consistent grain and colour, but black walnut and cherry have beautiful grain and colours that vary even within a single lenths. You should explain this to customers when they select the moulding for their frame.
When we despatch bare wood mouldings we try to match the colour and grain as best we can, but be prepared for some variation and blemishes. In our experience it's best to allow for a little more waste than on finished mouldings.
If you collect your mouldings from our Birmingham or LION South trade counters you can select your own lengths of moulding to get the colour and grain pattern you prefer.

Minerva mouldings are made from extruded foamed polymer with a hot foil finish.
Minerva Quality: Manufacturing is in a purpose-built factory in china under the expert supervision of an innovative Italian moulding manufacturer and experienced Korean technician. Attention to quality control give excellent consistency of finish and core quality.
Minerva Style: Made to our specifications with input from experienced moulding designers. The foils are often highlighted with fine detail such as embossed grain and texture.
Minerva Value: Minverva is such good value that your customers can have a nicer frame for their budget - a double mount or more stylish moulding. Moulding costs will be lower so make sure you charge enough to cover other costs such as time.
Order in full boxes to save 25% off the length price.
Wraps and Box Quantities: Lengths will usually be supplied in a protective wrap. Full boxes are ususally supplied with the lengths unwrapped but between protective layers making production more efficient.
Working with Minerva
Mitre Cutting: The polymer core of Minerva can be a little more brittle than wood. If cutting on a mitre guillotine, use very sharp blades and take more bites through the moulding than with wood. If using a circular saw, make sure the blades move quickly through the moulding to reduce heat build-up. We supply specialist blades for many popular framing circular saws.
Joining: As with wood mouldings, always use wedges and adhesive. The adhesives that we recommend are Bison 'Pu Max' , a gel polyurethane and 'Mitre Mate', a cyanacrylate adhesive. For best results insert wedges closer to the front of the mitre, ra |
