Dyson AluFrame™

Introducing the Dyson AluFrame™, a new generation of welded aluminium frames.

Our unique design has been carefully developed in our workshops, taking all the structural and archival benefits of an aluminium frame and applying our persistence for good, clean design.

Born through a real demand for a truly archival aluminium frame without any wooden internal structure, and with no visible fixings externally, we set out to resolve these issues and satisfy a need in the market.

Finally, here is an affordable welded aluminium frame that delivers in both function and aesthetics.

Fully Archival

The ultimate archival frame

Over time, wood releases natural acids such as tannin, which are reactive, and can shorten the lifespan of an artwork. However Aluminium is an inert metal, meaning it is not chemically reactive.

Due to the challenges of fabricating aluminium frames, up until now they have relied on a wooden subframe internally to hold everything together. Our unique design does not require this, meaning that it is 100% inert.

This ensures that the AluFrame™ provides the safest possible environment for conserving artwork.

Design features

Large frames with small profile

Due to the integral strength of welded aluminium, we can make frames measuring 2m x 2.5m +, whilst keeping just a 25mm face. The welded joins also mean that there is absolutely no cracking corners, even on the largest size frames.

Range of resiliant finishes

Powder coated finishes are extremely durable as they are resistant to heat, corrosion, impact and abrasion, fading from sunlight, scratching, peeling, and cracking. They can also be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Choose from over 200 standard RAL colours to get the perfect finish.

Polished aluminium and various raw aluminium finishes are also available.

Light weight

Aluminium is the lightest of all common metals with a specific gravity of 2.7, being approximately one third that of steel. The combination of light frames with a really durable finish makes these aluminium frames ideal for shipping or travelling exhibitions.

Fire proof

Aluminium does not burn in the form of sheets, extrusions, castings, foil etc, meaning your artwork will be protected even in the event of a fire.
