The Making of Our Precision Frames
At Fuelled & Framed, we put quality at the forefront of our frame production. After all, a frame this special demands only the very best materials and build processes.
'But how are they made?', we hear you ask!
Well, that depends on the metal in question...
Steel Frames
Our steel frames are laser-cut from mild steel plates (S275-grade material) -- cold rolled & pickled.
The metal is formed at room temperature, resulting in a super-clean surface that's smoother than a fresh set of slicks.
A CNC machine forms the recesses, drills the holes and engraves our logo with exacting precision.
Aluminium Frames
We use 6082 T6-grade aluminium to create a frame as robust as it is unique.
Our 'ally' frames are created using a waterjet cutter, which shapes the metal using a high-pressure jet of water.
Just like our steel frames, the CNC machine forms the recesses, drills the holes and engraves our logo.
Finishing Touches
And voilà! The dropped 'n' drilled I-beam frame is born. But before the frames are start line-ready, we step in to add some finishing touches:
Our steel frames are meticulously cleaned, prepped and clear coat powder-coated with a gloss finish that protects while highlighting the natural beauty of the metal.
Our aluminium frames receive a semi-polished finish that enhances the natural luster of the metal while maintaining its distinctive character.
Only then are they truly ready for your wall!
Glass Options
Our standard glass provides excellent clarity and protection for your chosen image. Included with Small and Medium Steel Frames.
Glass so good, you barely know it's there! Artglass AR 70 is unrivalled in clarity and durability, made using anti-reflective material that also protects your print from UV to prevent fading. We'll let the picture speak for itself…
Artglass AR 70 comes as standard with all Aluminium Frames and the Large Steel Frame, and is available as an upgrade for Small and Medium Steel Frames.
Our recommendation? Well, a frame this unique deserves a premium finishing touch, and Artglass AR 70 will help ensure your print continues to 'pop' on your wall for many years to come!
