When choosing between wood or metal frame for your diploma, look at the decor of the room in which your diploma will be displayed as well as how many degrees and certificates will be displayed alongside it.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Wood frames\u003C/strong> are the more common choice, as degrees are generally formal documents with calligraphy that seems perfectly suited to traditional tastes. Wood frames look best when paired with similarly style spaces, marked by larger upholstered furniture, patterns, knickknacks and curved lines, the latter of which can often be reflected in the style of the frame itself.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Metal frames\u003C/strong>, with their straight, sleek shapes, add a certain modern sophistication and interesting contrast to formal documents. A metal frame complements chic, modern decor, which is characterized by simple and minimalistic accessories, neutral colors and spaces with clean lines. The choice of black, silver or gold — all of which are available at Frame Destination in readymade diploma frame sets — depends on the other accessories in the room.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you plan to arrange multiple certificates in the room, choose simpler frames in either wood or metal. Frames with accent colors and more elaborate faces work best when used as a focal point, not when competing with each other for attention. If you are buying the frame to give as a gift, opt for a more neutral frame — a simple black wood frame or metal frame is timeless regardless of \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/picture-frames/what-size-diploma-frame-do-i-need\">what size diploma frame you need\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mat Board for Diploma Frames\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>When \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/picture-frames/how-to-frame-diplomas\">framing your diploma\u003C/a>, an important document, it should be protected by mat board. The mat board not only accentuates the diploma but prevents it from coming into contact with the glazing or other parts of the frame. You can often request (and pay and wait for) a replacement diploma if yours is damaged or lost, but it may not feel the same — it’s not the document you received on that special graduation day.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>High-quality mat board is used in all of our frames, many of which provide archival protection. Museum-quality archival mat board is available in white and off-white, making it a perfect complement to your degree.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Many colored mat boards are not archival due to the dye used, so if you want to add some color to your frame, you can choose to \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/mat-board/how-to-decorate-mat-board\">decorate the mat board\u003C/a> with a painted bevel or a ribbon in your school’s colors, or you can even order another mat board cut with a smaller opening to create a double mat. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Note, however, that any embellishments or additional non-conservation mat board you add to the frame may damage the diploma in the long-term if the materials are not suitable. If you’d rather not risk damaging your diploma by decorating your mat board, we carry a variety of archival colored mat boards that you can easily add to your frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mount Board\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Your diploma should be mounted — preferably using an archival mounting method — to backing board, also called mount board, to stay in place and further protect it from damage. Just like mat board, mounting board is available in archival options; the collection of Frame Destination diploma frames uses acid-free mount board to provide superior protection. If you’re already using archival mat board, it is sensible to also use archival mount board.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glazing\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The glazing is one of the last guards against damage for diplomas in picture frame — and just like the mat board and mount board, it is beneficial to get glazing that offers protection. Diplomas and certificates are generally 8-1/2 x 11 or 11 x 14, making glass an ideal choice (acrylic is often chosen for larger artwork due to its weight and inability to shatter).\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The best glass for certificate frames features a UV filter, which prevents fading, discoloration and deterioration due to the sun’s harmful rays. All readymade frames from Frame Destination use Artglass UV-filter glass glazing.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>You should be proud of your diploma, degree or certificate, whether you, your child or other family member or friend earned it.

(For additional tips, check out our guide on \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/diy/how-to-frame-a-poster\">How to Frame a Poster\u003C/a>)\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examine the Movie Poster\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Before you begin, examine the poster carefully, especially if it is a vintage print. Some vintage movie posters – those printed before the mid 1980s – feature a National Screen Service (NSS) number, which represented the year and the order in which the movie was released by the studio. If your poster features this mark, you may have a valuable item on your hands. Be wary, however, as some unscrupulous dealers fake these numbers in order to pass off less valuable posters as the real deal.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If the poster is folded, do not fold in the opposite direction to keep it flat as this will further weaken the paper. If it is a potentially valuable poster in less-than-mint condition, you may need to take it to a restoration professional. They can apply a linen backing to reinforce and support the poster. Linen backings are commonly found on vintage movie posters and, as the method used is reversible, do not devalue the poster. If you're planning to \u003Ca href=\"https://www.kittl.com/create/posters/movie\">create a movie poster\u003C/a> you won't need to worry about the linen backing for some time.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Linen backings on movie posters can be trimmed – it was actually once common to trim the backing right up until the edge of the poster – but it’s now considered a better practice to leave a border. This allows for safer handling and prevents the poster itself from touching the frame or other items, especially during shipping. Make sure you do not pull on the linen backing; it is not canvas and is not meant to be stretched.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose the Framing Materials: Movie Posters\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Just as with other prints, the materials you use to frame a movie poster will make a difference in preventing damage and extending its life.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Backing board\u003C/strong>: Regular foam board can be used with decorative movie posters as it is sturdy and lightweight. For vintage or valuable posters, use an acid-free foam board or, according to research done by framing industry expert Rob Markoff, fluted polypropylene. Some poster collectors framing very valuable posters use this material due to its rigidity and water repellency.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Much like any other valuable artwork, movie posters should not be dry mounted unless it is a replaceable poster you do not mind irreversibly damaging. If you must mount the movie poster, hinging at the top of the backing board using a reversible mounting method is preferred.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Mat board\u003C/strong>: While it is not commonly used in framing movie posters, adding a mat board helps keep the poster away from the frame and hold the piece in place. If you’d rather not use mat board but are framing very large posters, use picture frame spacers, which will keep the poster from touching the frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Glazing\u003C/strong>: Either acrylic or glass glazing works well in a movie poster frame. For vintage posters, use glazing that protects against UV damage such as Artglass UV-filter glass or UV-filter acrylic.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>One other area of concern may be the poster size. Many movie posters are large, such as 27x40 or 27x41, and glass is heavy and breakable if not handled properly. If you plan to ship or frequently move your poster after it has been framed, acrylic may be the wiser choice.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>READ: \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/resources/the-most-common-poster-sizes\">Standard Poster Sizes - A Complete Guide\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Frame\u003C/strong>: Metal or wood frames are both suitable as \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/picture-frames/frame-type/poster.html\">quality movie poster frames\u003C/a>, but if you are particularly concerned about the poster coming into contact with wood, choose a metal frame.

Make sure to leave enough canvas to fold and staple to the stretcher bar. If you need to cut the canvas because there is an excess that makes folding impossible or bulky, leave at least two inches to fold over and stretch.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>TIP\u003C/strong>: Use shorter stretcher bars if you’d like to use a wood frame.

To ensure that the canvas is placed evenly, measure the distance between the corners; they should be the same.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Fold the Canvas\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Starting on one of the shorter sides of the canvas, fold one side of the “extra” canvas over the stretcher bar and use the canvas pliers to hold it in place. If you’re not using canvas pliers, you can simply begin stapling. Staple once in the middle of the folded piece of canvas.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Turn Over and Repeat\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Turn the canvas to the opposite side (turning 180 degrees) and repeat the folding and stapling step until all sides are done.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Pull the Canvas\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Once each side of the frame have a single staple, pull the canvas slightly — not too much, or your canvas won’t be able to shrink or expand — and add a staple on either side of the middle one, spaced evenly apart.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Fold the Corners\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Fold the corners by tucking one side under the other, making sure that you are pulling tightly.

A wood frame with a rabbet that is too small will force the artwork away from the wall; with a metal frame, you simply will not be able to slide the canvas inside.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Most pre-stretched canvases are one of three thicknesses: 5/8”, 3/4”, and 1 1/2'”.

If you choose a metal frame that has a much deeper rabbet than your print’s stretcher bar, you may need to use spring clips to hold it in place. Floating frames from Frame Destination come with \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/c/offset-clips-w-screws-for-canvas.html\">offset clips\u003C/a>, which are available in two depths.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\">\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Note:\u003C/strong> If you'd like your framed canvas to appear as if it were a picture within a picture frame, it's possible!

To frame a canvas in a floating frame, you will need a frame that is slightly larger than the canvas. You can then attach the canvas to the frame using clips or screws, leaving a small gap between the canvas and the frame. This will create the illusion that the canvas is floating within the frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best way to frame a canvas print?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The best way to frame a canvas depends on your personal preferences and the style of the artwork. Some popular options include floating frames, traditional frames with a mat, and simple frames without a mat. Consider the style and colors of the artwork when choosing a frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you frame a canvas at home?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To frame a canvas at home, you will need a frame that is slightly larger than the canvas, a mat (optional), and mounting materials such as screws or clips. You can then attach the canvas to the frame and add a mat if desired. Be sure to use acid-free materials to protect the artwork.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best frame for a canvas painting?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The best frame for a canvas painting depends on the style and colors of the artwork. A simple frame without a mat can work well for modern or minimalist artwork, while a traditional frame with a mat can add elegance to a more classic piece. Consider the overall look and feel of the artwork when choosing a frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to frame a canvas print?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To frame a rolled canvas print, you will need to first stretch the canvas onto a wooden frame. Once the canvas is stretched, you can then choose a frame that is slightly larger than the canvas and attach the canvas to the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/custom-frames.html\">custom art frame\u003C/a> using clips or screws.

This isn’t your average graffiti, a term that often carries a negative connotation: these are meticulously painted pieces of art that are “framed” with both custom-made and found frames. The series started with “Twiggy,” seen above, which depicts the famous ‘60s model and uses over 200 frames.

Amtrak, for example, \u003Ca href=\"https://www.amtrak.com/onboard/baggage-policy/baggage-prohibited-items.html\">prohibits artwork in both checked and carry-on baggage\u003C/a> on their trains.

However, in terms of picture frames, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which sets the rules on what is and is not permitted on a plane, is far more lenient. The TSA states that \u003Ca href=\"https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/glass-picture-frame\">glass picture frames are allowed\u003C/a> in both carry-on baggage and in checked baggage, but notes that “the final decision rests with the TSA officer.”\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Remember that even if the TSA gives the OK, you still have to satisfy the carrier’s regulations. Some airlines have strict cabin baggage requirements, especially in regard to size and weight. American Airlines, for example, only allows carry-on luggage that is 22 x 14 x 9 inches or less. Anything larger than that may need to be checked. Even checked baggage has a limit, though. Some airlines will not take any baggage, in the cabin or in cargo, if it weighs more than 100 pounds.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>To give yourself the best chance of boarding a plane with your framed print or painting, make sure that you properly wrap and protect the item before measuring it, as any wrapping will add bulk and weight. If it doesn’t satisfy size restrictions for carry-on baggage, you may be forced to check the item. If that's the case, be sure to properly pack your art — complete with a \"Fragile\" sticker — or there's a chance it could break.

Alternatively, some prints can be ordered with four pre-drilled holes in each corner. These prints can be hung with small metal posts that attach the print to the wall. Both of these types of prints can be hung immediately, and will give the appearance that the artwork is “floating” off the wall much like a floater frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges of Hanging Metal Prints\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-post-2853 wp-image-2866\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"alignleft\">\u003Cimg data-public-id=\"blog/metal-print-hanging-block/metal-print-hanging-block.jpg\" src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/frame-destination/images/w_432,h_318,c_scale/f_auto,q_auto/v1661447369/blog/metal-print-hanging-block/metal-print-hanging-block.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Metal print hanging block\" class=\"wp-post-2853 wp-image-2866\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1661447369\" data-seo=\"1\">\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two dye-sublimation metal prints with Chromaluxe self-adhesive Aluminum Shadow Mount backings.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\u003C/div>\n\n\n\u003Cp>One of the downsides to hanging a metal print with four posts is that the print cannot be easily moved: once it’s on the wall, it’s there to stay. Additionally, instead of just one or two holes in the wall, you must create four, which can only be covered by a larger frame or by patching the holes. With the hanging block, on the other hand, you’re stuck with one look – floating – which may not match a more traditional home décor.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Even if your print comes with a hanging block or pre-drilled holes, however, you can still hang metal prints in a frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>TIP\u003C/strong>: If you haven’t yet ordered a \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/info/metal-print-framing.html\">metal print frame\u003C/a>, whether or not it has a hanging block determines what kind of frame and accessories you will need.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Keep in mind that a metal frame could potentially scratch the edges of a metal print, since metal will be in contact with metal. Apply \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/framing-accessories/photo-mounting-supplies/atg-tape.html\">self-adhesive frame sealing tape\u003C/a> to the inside of the frame where contact is made between the metal frame and the print to mitigate this issue.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Wood frames will eliminate the chance of scratching but still require a backing board for support and to protect the metal print from the flexible metal “points” used to secure the art and backing. Regardless of which frame you choose, remember to take the thickness of the metal print and the backing board into account.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal Prints Without a Hanging Block\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If your metal print has arrived without a hanging block, you can simply treat the print like any other piece of artwork and frame as you normally would, though without mat board or glazing. Metal prints don’t need to be as protected from the elements as carefully as paper-based prints, since the aluminum features a special coating that prevents it from degrading quickly.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal Prints With a Hanging Block or Pre-Drilled Holes\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If your metal print has arrived with a hanging block, you’ll need to swap out one accessory: instead of purchasing foamboard to protect the print, you can order precut mat board that will be used as the backing board. The opening in the mat board will be cut to allow the hanging block to fit through.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Hanging blocks make metal prints far thicker, requiring a frame with a deep rabbet.

Mat board and mount board, for example, can be used for craft projects even if they have a window. Frame Destination makes sure not to waste a single piece of mat board — instead of throwing scraps away, we cut them into smaller mats and, when the need arises, donate them to local schools.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If a \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/photo-storage/gallery-pouch.html\">GalleryPouch\u003C/a> has finished its job of protecting your paintings or framed photos, there are a number of other \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/gallery-pouch/5-more-uses-for-the-gallerypouch-bubble-bag\">uses for GalleryPouch bubble bags\u003C/a>.

Moisture can easily creep into a frame package, allowing mold to take hold and flourish. That doesn’t mean that hanging artwork in the bathroom is a lost cause, though: with a little bit of preparation and the right type of artwork and frame, you’ll never have bare bathroom walls again.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Related:\u003C/strong> \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/diy/hanging-picture-frames-without-nails\">Ways to Hang Pictures Without Nails\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Hang Moisture-Proof, Replaceable Artwork\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Mold can survive on almost any surface, but some materials will particularly encourage growth. Paper-based and wood products are a favorite snack of mold, for example — and it just so happens that much framed artwork is created on paper.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Don’t hang irreplaceable artwork in the bathroom, such as paper-based limited edition prints, documents, original paintings or vintage movie posters. If you do prefer a framed print, consider getting an inexpensive copy that you won’t mind replacing if mold begins to grow or the artwork begins to warp. Though you should not hang original or special canvases in the bathroom, canvas prints are generally safe in the bathroom as they often feature a special coating that can ward off moisture.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Alternatively, hang a \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/info/metal-print-framing.html\">framed metal print\u003C/a>. Metal prints are made with aluminum, which does not rust or warp, and mold won’t grow nearly as easily — if at all — on these prints. Metal prints don’t require glazing, either, so you won’t have any chance of moisture buildup in the frame. Other items can also be framed in the bathroom, such as tiles, plates and other artwork made from non-paper products.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use a Metal Frame\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The bathroom’s constantly changing temperatures may cause wood frames to expand and contract, causing damage to the frame. Instead, use metal frames — our \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/custom-frames/metal.html\">metal frames\u003C/a> are made with aluminum, which does not rust and will withstand those fluctuating temperatures.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Avoid Glazing, But Use Acrylic When Needed\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Moisture can more easily build up inside a framing package when there is glazing. If possible, use artwork that doesn’t require glazing; if you do need to use glazing, \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/glazing/glass-vs-acrylic-for-photography-framing\">use acrylic instead of glass\u003C/a>. Acrylic, unlike glass, allows some moisture to pass through, which will prevent moisture from building up inside the frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As a bonus, acrylic won’t shatter if the frame falls off the wall — an important factor in a room where you are often barefoot.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Vent the Room\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Many bathrooms have exhaust fans, so make sure that you actually use it. Run the exhaust fan as soon as you enter the bathroom and for at least 20 minutes after a bath or shower. Leave the bathroom door open when not in use, and if you have a window, leave it open as often as you can.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the Pros, Create a Sealed Enclosure\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There is a way to frame whatever you want in the bathroom: create a sealed frame enclosure. This is generally only done by professionals for extremely valuable items, and it uses many materials that you most likely won’t have laying around the house, such as foil laminate or silica gel paper. Hugh Phibbs, a renowned preservation consultant, has written extensively on the subject of creating sealed enclosures that effectively trap out moisture, outlining methods that have been used to protect important documents such as the Declaration of Independence.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Of course, most people will probably opt to hang that precious artwork elsewhere in the house, instead choosing less important but still appealing artwork in the bathroom. While the bathroom is a place of heat and humidity, the two greatest enemies of \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/picture-frames/themes/gallery.html\">wall frames\u003C/a>, they can still be a great place to show off your taste in art and décor.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Hang Pictures in Bathrooms?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Yes, you can hang pictures in bathrooms, but there are some considerations to keep in mind due to the room's high humidity and temperature fluctuations. It's advisable to use moisture-resistant materials for both the frame and the artwork itself. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Acrylic glass is often recommended over regular glass, and using a sealed frame can also help protect the artwork. Metal and plastic frames are generally more resilient to moisture than wood. It's also a good idea to use water-resistant wall fixtures. Proper ventilation can help mitigate moisture issues as well.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Best Picture Frames for Bathroom?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The best picture frames for bathrooms are those made from moisture-resistant materials like metal or high-quality plastic, as they can better withstand the humidity and temperature fluctuations commonly found in bathrooms. Acrylic glass is a good choice over traditional glass because it's more resistant to moisture. It's also beneficial to look for sealed frames to further protect the artwork. Using water-resistant or rust-proof hanging hardware will also help maintain the frame's condition over time.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Can I Buy Moisture Proof Picture Frames?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>You can buy moisture-proof picture frames at home improvement stores, specialized frame shops like \u003Ca href=\"/\">Frame Destination\u003C/a>, and online marketplaces like Amazon or Etsy. Many art supply stores also carry frames made from moisture-resistant materials like metal or high-quality plastic. Additionally, you may find suitable options at department stores in the home decor section. Always check the specifications to ensure that the frame is designed to withstand moisture and humidity.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Written by \u003Ca href=\"/info/mark-rogers-author.html\">Mark Rogers\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/frame-destination/c_lpad,dpr_2.0,q_auto/v1/media/wysiwyg/Mark_Rogers.jpeg?_i=AB\" alt=\"Mark Rogers\"> Mark Rogers is the President and Co-Founder of Frame Destination.
