| Glossary Of Picture Framing Terms
[1] |
T-Hinge (1) The result of a method of affixing artwork to a backing or mat prior to framing. The artwork is adhered with the tape or hinging tissue only at the top edge, leaving the rest of the edges hanging loose. This allows the artwork and attached material to expand (due to humidity and temperature changes) without buckling in the frame. This method is used when the mat will be covering the edge of the artwork, since the tissue or tape will be visible above the artwork edge.
(2)A style of metal hinge hardware that has a base that is wider than the hinged piece that connects to the other side. A T-hinge may be used when one of the pieces attached weighs less than the other, therefore requiring less support. |
