Hi All,
Im new to picture framing. I mostly frame my own work and need some advice on best place to buy consumables.
Good but not break the bank non reflective glass , backboard , float glass.
I am in the North of England if that makes any difference.
Any steer would be appreciated.

Give these guys a call:

They're very helpful and they do van deliveries. They should be able to sort out all the consumables you will need to get going.

I use Centrado for most things.

Centrado are very good for glass, MDF and mountboard. Their Spectra range is made by Daler and is great value. We use Lion for almost everything else. Very reliable, free delivery over £125. £4.95 for anything under that. And once you are ordering regularly go for a discount. Same for Centrado. The Lion website is easier to use than Centrado's which is a bit of a disaster.
