Tell us what it is, where it will hang, and any style you have in mind. 2. **Choose the finish** Choose the moulding (aluminium, wood or acrylic), the mount colour and width, and glass or acrylic glazing. At the counter we can lay samples against your piece so you can see the combination before deciding. 3. **Get a clear price** You get a clear price in UAE dirhams before anything is cut. Quotes are free and carry no obligation, and the price depends on the size, moulding, mount and glazing you choose. 4. **Collect, or we drop off** We confirm the collection date when you order. Collect the finished frame from the shop, open 9:30 AM to 10:00 PM every day, or ask about our pick and drop-off service. ### How to measure your artwork Measure the artwork itself, width × height, in centimetres. Tell us whether you want a mount and roughly how wide, or ask us to suggest a size. For odd shapes or very large pieces, send a photo with a tape measure in shot. For replacement glass, measure the inside of the frame's rebate, the recess the glass sits in. ### Choosing a moulding - **Aluminium**: Slim, modern profiles that suit photos, posters and certificates. - **Wood**: Natural, painted or ornate mouldings for artwork, portraits and mirrors. - **Acrylic**: Clear, lightweight frames with a contemporary look. - **Floating frame**: The artwork or canvas sits inside the frame with a visible gap around its edge. ### Choosing a mount A mount, also called a passe-partout, is the card border between the artwork and the frame. It keeps the artwork off the glass and gives it room on the wall. A wider mount suits small pieces and makes them read larger; a narrow mount or none suits bold posters and canvases. ### Glass or acrylic? - **Glass**: Crisp and scratch-resistant. The classic choice for most picture frames. - **Acrylic**: About half the weight of glass and shatter-resistant. Better for large frames, busy spaces and children's rooms. ### Collection and delivery Collect your finished frame from the shop in Karama Shopping Complex, open 9:30 AM to 10:00 PM every day, or ask about our pick and drop-off service when you order. # About Rafi Frames URL: https://dubaiframes.com/about Rafi Frames is a retail picture framing shop in Karama Shopping Complex, Dubai.

The jersey is arranged on a backing board and set inside a frame deep enough to keep it clear of the glass. Send a photo on WhatsApp for a free quote. ### What we frame in shadow boxes - Football, cricket, basketball and other team jerseys - Signed shirts and memorabilia - Medals and ribbons - Match tickets, programmes and photos displayed with a jersey - Small 3D objects and keepsakes ### Shadow box or acrylic box? - **Shadow box**: A deep frame with a glass or acrylic front. Best for jerseys and pieces viewed from the front. - **Acrylic box**: A clear acrylic case that shows an object from every side. Best for balls, caps and models. ### Layout ideas Frame a jersey on its own, or combine it with a photo of the match, the ticket or a medal in the same box. Tell us which side to show and whether the shirt is signed, so the name, number and signature face forward. ### Before you bring it in Bring the jersey clean and dry, along with anything you want displayed beside it. Keep it folded loosely rather than pressed, and we will arrange it on the board at the shop. ### Questions - **Can you frame a signed jersey?** Yes. Tell us the shirt is signed so we can lay it out with the signature clearly visible behind the glazing. - **How deep is a jersey shadow box?** Deep enough to keep the shirt and anything framed with it clear of the glass. We choose the depth based on what goes inside. - **Can you frame medals with the jersey?** Yes. Medals, tickets and photos can be mounted in the same shadow box as the jersey. - **How long does jersey framing take?** It depends on the size and materials. We confirm the collection or delivery date when you place the order. ## Canvas stretching and canvas frames in Dubai URL: https://dubaiframes.com/canvas-stretching Last updated: 2026-10-09 Rafi Frames stretches painted and printed canvases on new wooden stretcher bars at its shop in Karama, Dubai, and can frame them with floating or L-shape frames. Bring a rolled canvas or one that has gone slack, and we stretch it tight and ready to hang. ### What we stretch - Rolled paintings bought from artists or on travels - Canvas prints and giclée prints on canvas - Slack or rippled canvases that need re-stretching ### Framing a stretched canvas - **Floating frame**: The canvas sits inside the frame with a shadow gap around it. A clean, gallery look. - **L-shape frame**: An L-profile moulding that holds the canvas from the side and back. - **No frame**: Stretched and wrapped around the bars, ready to hang as it is. ### What to bring Bring the canvas rolled with the painted side facing out, never folded. It needs spare canvas beyond the image, ideally a few centimetres on every side, to wrap around the bars. If the border is tight, bring it anyway and we will suggest options. ### Questions - **Can you stretch a rolled canvas?** Yes. We stretch rolled canvases on new wooden stretcher bars made to the size of the image. - **Does my canvas need an extra border?** Ideally, yes: a few centimetres of spare canvas on each side to wrap around the bars.

Send the sizes in millimetres or centimetres, or bring the frame to the shop and we will measure it. ### Questions - **Can you replace the glass in my picture frame?** Yes. Bring the frame to the shop in Karama, or send the rebate size, and we cut new glass or acrylic to fit. - **Can you cut a mirror to a custom size?** Yes. Mirrors are cut to your measurements and can be framed with any of our mouldings. - **Is acrylic better than glass for frames?** Acrylic is lighter and shatter-resistant, so it suits large frames and busy spaces.
