Dubai is a city where aesthetics and presentation carry immense cultural weight.

This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about our frame installation services, the communities we serve, the techniques we employ, and why Dubai’s discerning homeowners, collectors, and businesses trust Mussawir Framers with their most precious pieces.

Our Complete Frame Installation & Framing Services in Dubai
1. Custom Picture Framing
Our bespoke custom picture framing service is the cornerstone of what we do at Mussawir Framers. No two pieces of art are identical — and no two frames should be either. We work closely with you to select the ideal wood profile, finish, colour, and glass type to ensure your artwork is presented at its absolute best.
Suitable for paintings, fine art prints, photography, calligraphy, textiles, certificates, and memorabilia — our custom framing service is available to clients across all of Dubai’s neighbourhoods.
- Wide selection of wood, metal, and acrylic profiles
- Archival acid-free mounts and backings for long-term preservation
- UV-protective anti-reflective glass to prevent fading
- Personalised consultations at our Al Quoz studio
- Available for residential, commercial, and gallery clients
2. Museum & Archival Framing
When the artwork is irreplaceable — a signed print, a rare canvas, a family heirloom — only museum-grade archival framing will do. Our conservation framing uses acid-free materials, UV-protective glazing, and climate-appropriate techniques to ensure your piece remains pristine for generations.
This service is ideal for:
- Blue-chip and investment-grade artworks
- Antique prints, maps, and botanical illustrations
- Vintage photographs and rare documents
- Works on paper susceptible to moisture and acid
- Corporate and institutional art collections

3. Canvas Stretching & Mounting
Did you bring a rolled canvas from your travels, or receive an unstretched artwork as a gift? Our canvas stretching service ensures perfect tension and invisible craftsmanship. Your canvas will be flat, secure, and exhibition-ready, mounted on high-quality kiln-dried wooden stretcher bars.
- Gallery wrap and traditional stretching options
- Suitable for oil, acrylic, and mixed-media canvases
- Available in standard and custom sizes
- Finish with a frame or leave as gallery-wrapped

Aged, damaged, or improperly framed works need not be lost. Our artwork restoration and re-mounting service breathes new life into pieces that have suffered from inferior framing, exposure, or the simple passage of time — revived without compromise.
- Removal of old, acidic, or damaged backing boards
- Re-mounting on conservation-grade materials
- Cleaning and stabilisation of surface layers
- Re-framing in new or restored original frames
5. Frame Repairs
A broken moulding or a chipped gilded frame does not mean the end of the road. Our frame repair service restores both structural integrity and visual beauty, whether the frame is antique, modern, or somewhere in between.
- Wood and metal moulding repairs
- Reglazing and glass replacement
- Re-gilding and patination touch-ups
- Complete re-finishing for outdated frames
6. Hanging, Handling & Art Logistics
Frame installation does not end at the studio. Mussawir Framers offers a dedicated picture hanging and art installation service across Dubai, including safe handling, professional wall mounting, and logistics for large or fragile works. We use precision levelling, appropriate wall anchors, and the right hanging systems for every wall type — plaster, drywall, or concrete.

Popular Framing Styles Available at Mussawir Framers
Classic Wood Frames
Timeless and versatile, classic wood frames complement traditional artworks, family portraits, and heritage photographs. Available in a wide range of stains, paints, and natural wood finishes to suit any interior.
Slim & Modern Aluminium Frames
For contemporary interiors and minimalist aesthetics, our slim metal frames provide a clean, gallery-quality look. Perfect for large-format photography, modern prints, and abstract art.
Float Frames
A float frame creates the illusion that the artwork is suspended within the frame, adding depth and a museum-like presentation. Ideal for canvas paintings and contemporary works.
Shadow Box Frames
Our shadow box frames are three-dimensional enclosures perfect for objects with depth — sports memorabilia, medals, coins, pressed flowers, or layered mementos.
Box Frames
Similar to shadow boxes but often used for flatter objects, box frames add a sense of volume and protection while keeping the contents fully visible behind glass.
Gallery-Style Multi-Frame Arrangements
Creating a cohesive gallery wall requires not just individual frames but a considered installation plan. We design and install gallery walls for residential and commercial clients across Dubai.

Sustainable & Responsible Framing in Dubai
Mussawir Framers is committed to responsible material sourcing. Our archival materials are chosen not only for their conservation properties but also for their environmental footprint. We use FSC-certified wood where available, avoid unnecessary plastics in packaging, and encourage clients to re-frame rather than dispose of existing frames where possible.
Sustainable framing is also archival framing — materials that last do not need to be replaced, reducing waste and cost over time.
