Decorating spaces that don’t receive much traffic is straightforward, as you don’t need to weigh factors like wear and tear as heavily. Improving the aesthetic appeal of high-traffic areas is trickier, whether you own a commercial space, hospital, or another publicly-accessible building. With custom framing solutions and professional installation, it’s easier to put things on your walls that look great and that last. How can you find the right framing solutions for high-traffic areas?
Choose the Right Materials
Just like when you choose furniture, materials can make a big difference in terms of cost, longevity, and overall durability. In high-traffic areas, frames are more prone to damage due to potential accidents and frequent contact with people. Choosing durable materials like high-quality wood, metal, or acrylic can increase the lifespan of the artwork you’re putting on the walls. We can help guide you through a variety of options and find the best framing solutions for your budget and space.
Protective coatings can also be used to improve the longevity of your frames. UV-blocking glass can be used to stop artwork from fading due to sunlight exposure, while anti-fingerprint coatings can keep frames looking great without the need for constant cleaning. We have a variety of solutions that are perfect for any commercial environment. Glare-resistant or anti-reflective glass is a practical choice for high-traffic areas where lighting conditions can vary. This special glass reduces reflections and improves the visibility of the artwork so that viewers can appreciate it from multiple angles without glare. Additionally, frames and protective glass in high-traffic areas are more likely to get dirty or smudged. Choosing materials and finishes that are easy to clean and maintain can save you and your cleaning staff time and effort.
Consider the Design
In high-traffic areas, minimalist and simple frame designs are often more practical than elaborate or ornate frames. Simple frames with clean lines reduce the risk of snagging or accidental damage. Additionally, more neutral and minimalist framing solutions blend seamlessly with various interior styles, so they are versatile choices for any space.
For busy environments, installation systems are critical to prevent artwork from being knocked off the wall or falling on someone. As part of our comprehensive framing solutions, we also offer professional installation services that ensure all of your artwork is securely anchored to the wall. Using Z Bar, security hangers, and other installation solutions not only safeguards your art but also ensures the safety of everyone visiting your space.
