Since our econospace spacers are peel and stick no special tools are needed to use them. Spacers are also useful for forcing the glazing and artwork backing to the front and back of the frame if the frame is quite deep. However if a mat is being used between the glass and art spacers are usually not necessary unless the art has texture that may still come into contact with the glass despite the mat. Picture frame spacers are the perfect way to create space between your framed photo print artwork diploma or degree and the frame glazing.

I wanted to use the full width for the image. The trick is to use spacers to create an air gap between the print and glazing glass or acrylic. Here s what i did. The photo above shows the spacer attached to museum glass an x acto knife for cutting the spacer material a backing board and framer s tape for sealing edges.

These spacers work easily with both acrylic glazing and glass frame glazing and can be used with wood and metal frames. For tips on how to achieve that look read our blog post on the topic. Econospace picture frame spacers can also be used for floating art on mat board within the frame creating an illusion that your art is suspended in the frame without touching it. If you just put a print into a frame without a mat or spacers contact with the glass can cause sticking buckling newton rings and a variety of other problems.
