The Framers Forum

Hello Everyone,

I am brand new here and very impressed by what I have seen. I wanted to quickly announce to everyone the newest branch of framing available. We manufacture closed-corner cast stone frames. We have been developing them over the past couple of years and just recently showed them at the PMA show in Anaheim, CA last month.

They are made from crushed quartz and limestone and have a lightweight core inside to reduce the weight. The response we have received so far has been overwhelming. If you are interested in finding out more, please visit our website www.palazzocast.com. I would love to hear some feedback.

I look forward to getting to know many of you here and I am always excited to learn as much as I can from those willing to teach. Thank you for welcoming me in.

Welcome to the forum Brian.

An interesting idea, and bound to have appeal at the high end of the market.

You have a very elegant site, but the home page renders poorly in IE8.

Thank you. Believe it or not these frames are also having a great appeal towards all levels of framing. We are trying to keep the pricing at a manageable level for anyone to afford.

Sorry about the site with IE8. I have learned when building a website that it is very hard to please all systems and computers at the same time. Most of my testing has been with Firefox or Safari.

Thanks for the feedback.

hey brian - love your product range - i used to live in belmont shore and worked for security pacific bank in la (now taken over by bank of america) if you had had this product when i was there - a sale or two would have been made!!! (mind you that was wayyyy back in 1976!!).

Presume framers cannot buy lengths to cut ourselves? would normal framers guillotines be able to 'chop' this product?

Tell you what the fireplaces are VERY attractive.

wish you good luck

Sorry, no. All the corners are precast here. But we can make any size. We have already made frames for canvas paintings 36" x 48" by 6" wide.

website appears to be down?!?
