Shadow Box Frames — Deep-Set Gallery Framing A shadow box frame is the premier choice for artists who want to create a profound sense of space and focus around their work. Unlike traditional flat frames, a shadow box utilizes an internal spacer to separate the artwork from the glazing, allowing the piece to sit deep within the frame. At BLITZ, we specialize in this architectural framing style, providing a sophisticated, three-dimensional presentation that protects your art while elevating its visual presence in any gallery or interior. The Technical Workflow: Precision Spacing & Structural Detail We construct our shadow boxes using high-quality, solid-core wood moldings with an extended depth profile. Each frame is custom-built with internal side-walls (spacers) that match the frame’s interior, creating a clean, seamless look that draws the eye inward. This air gap is not only an aesthetic choice but also a protective one, as it prevents the surface of the print from ever touching the glass. This is critical for preventing moisture-related damage and maintaining the archival integrity of your fine art or photographic prints. Specifications Frame Profile: Extended depth wood moldings (Exterior depth 1.5", Interior depth 1"). Glazing: Premium UV-resistant acrylic or glass to shield against light degradation. Internal Spacer: Hand-fitted acid-free spacers for a consistent, architectural "reveal." Mounting Style: Available with "Float-mounting" (elevating the art off the back mat) or traditional flush mounting. Care & Handling Shadow boxes are robust structures designed to protect your art for decades. To maintain the clarity of the glazing, use a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth. For acrylic glazing, use only specialized ammonia-free cleaners to prevent surface hazing. Because the artwork is recessed and protected from both physical touch and environmental fluctuations, shadow boxes are considered one of the most stable and long-lasting display solutions available. Ordering Information Ready to Hang: Every shadow box is delivered fully sealed and equipped with heavy-duty hanging hardware and protective wall bumpers. Versatility: Ideal for Fine Art Rag prints, textured Water Color papers, and high-resolution photographic media. Custom Sizing: We provide bespoke sizing to accommodate any depth or dimension required for your specific project. Production Time: Due to the complex, multi-layered assembly and precision spacing required, please allow 10-14 business days for productio
