New to Framing? get started here
At LION, we know a lot about picture framing.
With nearly half a century in the trade, we’ve built up a product range to help you solve every framing challenge.
But we know that finding what you need when you don’t know what we call it or whether it exists can be tricky - so we’ve created this guide to our range of hardware, tools and equipment. There are suggestions for framing tasks ranging from the everyday to the obscure - hopefully introducing you to a few things you’ve never stumbled across before.
