Framing

Post by Lesley Jean »

Hi, can anyone let me know where I can get a picture framed, one fell off the wall and smashed the glass and frame..... made one heck of a noise.. I know the one by the Millenium Bank is now closed.

Thanks

I had a picture framed in an artist supplies shop in Portimao. I don't know the name of the road but it's one on the right if you go over the bridge and turn left alongside the river. The shop is about 100metres on the left just after the alleyway the comes from the square where the new Opera House is. Hope this helps

You can buy frames from Leroy Merlin and do it yourself, they have all sizes of frames.

Leroy Merlin also have an excellent framing service, very helpful, though it can take up to a couple of weeks depending on type of frame you want.

The guy at the framing shop near Millennium bank in Lagoa was brilliant, helped me choose the frame to go with/match the picture and the mount, he was very, very helpful and had it ready for me the next day.
It was a bit expensive as I went with the no glare/non reflective glass which was a lot more than ordinary glass. I am very happy with the results and would use him/recommend him to you.
