Allowance The additional space provided to avoid overflow or miscalculation in picture framing. Often, the rabbet will have an allowance beyond the thickness of the contents of the frame, so points or brads can be inserted. The framer will also cut your frame with a 1/16" allowance on each side. Should your artwork expand due to humidity or temperature changes in the future, this extra space will prevent buckling.
