Cirrus

The Cirrus frame is a shallow (1/2” deep) shadowbox 
frame. The aluminum molding is 1 3/16” deep with a 
1/4” wide face and is available in three anodized, 
satin finish colors: black, light bronze and silver. 
It comes completely ready to use, with a warm white, 
3/16” archival foam-core backing, clear glass that 
has had the sharp edges ground smooth, and removable, 
acid-free, 1/4” thick mounting tabs. Smaller sizes 
include an easel for table top use.

The Cirrus frame, like the Fineline frame, is 
uniquely easy to use thanks to Framatic’s patented 
Framlok corner joining system.

Cirrus can be used to frame a three-dimensional 
object but it is especially useful for “floating” 
an image. This is a presentation where the image 
is placed against the backing with an allowance 
for space around the image not covered by either 
frame or mat. Since the glass does not touch the 
image, a mat is not required for conservation, 
and the edges of the image are left exposed. 
This adds a dimension to framing where the 
media-- for example, a deckle edged piece of 
paper-- becomes an object within the frame as 
well as the surface that holds the image.

To add to the “floating” effect, the Cirrus 
frames include acid free, 1/4” thick foam adhesive 
backed tabs. The tabs securely, yet removably, 
mount an image to the backing. Thus creating a 
“shadow line”—a separation between the image 
and the backing-- that adds further dimension 
to your framing.

Cirrus frame sizes are created with the “floating” 
of the “suggested image”. The frame sizes shown 
leave, in most cases, have an even 1” border around 
the “suggested image” sizes.

Available sizes 5 x 7 through 20 x 24.

Custom sizing available with "set up" fee.
