EGA-Rahmen offers you a wide range of attractively priced molding frames. In addition, on request we produce profiles to your specifications. This allows historical replicas or your own design.
Special Frames
Special requests or historical replicas can be manufactured according to drawings or presentation of the original frame.
Surface Treatment
A suitable surface treatment increases the value of the frame or gives a new effect. Through white glaze the grain will be taken back and will get a floating effect. Waxes or oils emphasizes the grain and color of the wood. Pickling in connection with matt varnish can lead to an interesting translucent effect.
Paint according to color card RAL or PANTONE will be made in any desired color and gloss.
