FrameSpace Advantages

  • Quick and easy - Saves time
  • Works in both wood and metal frames
  • Professional looking - No painting
  • Neutral pH - No plasticizers - Will not harm art
  • Permanent - No glues or adhesives
  • Cannot come off in the frame
  • Protects glass from chipping in metal frames

FrameSpace FS-1 spacers by FrameTek are a mechanically permanent art-glass separator that grips over the edge of the glass or acrylic in picture frames to space the art away from the glazing. This helps prevent mold growth, paper buckling, image transfer and adhesion to the glazing. They are quick and easy to use and are easily removable to clean or replace the glass. FrameSpace FS-1 spacers are made from a neutral pH plastic and can be used to frame photographs, watercolors, pastels, or any paper art or documents without using mats. Spacers also help prevent glass chipping in metal frames and keeps the glass from shaving bits of wood, leaf, or paint from the rabbet in wood frames.

I’ve been ordering frames from FD for 3 years now. Always well packed and well made custom frames. Staff is very helpful and courteous. Great experience every time. No disappointments in quality or product.

Excellent product except for spacers

Reviewed on

The product itself (frame, glass, matte and backing) was very nice and exactly as expected. The spacers were flimsy and very difficult to properly install on the glass. I ended up discarding them as unusable.

Response from Frame Destination

Thank you for your review Jeffrey! We're sorry to hear about the spacers! These are snapped on and should be a perfect fit! Please reach out to us and we will be happy to assist wit replacements or a refund!

Too flimsy to use reliably

Reviewed on

I ordered a set of the 3/16” and another set of the 1/8” spacers. They are so flimsy that the “S” groove will not stay in place on the glass or on the mat board either one during assembly of the art package. At some point I decided that even if I could get them in position momentarily during framing, I wouldn’t want to depend on them staying in place if anything shifts in the art package. I will go ahead and make my own spacers with mat board. I have appreciated my other purchases from Frame Destination but cannot recommend this product.

Response from Frame Destination

FrameSpacer Spacers worked great for me, even on large items as long as 44". They are far superior to the adhesive strips, and I replaced all my adhesive strips with these mechanical ones. The adhesives lose strength and can sag over time. The adhesive can also adhere to the frame rabbets. One question: I appear to have ordered two different sized spacers in different orders. Is there any functional advantage to one size over another? They all seem to keep the artwork away from the glazing. Thank you.

Response from Frame Destination

Hi Robert! It is really personal preference along with how large the rabbet depth of your frame is. If you have any other questions about this please reach out to us at 972-479-1188. Thank you and have a great day!

These are little plastic strips that clip on to the glass and hold the artwork a little way away from the glazing. They work fine. You may have to trim them a little bit as they are cut to the size of the glass; they need to be just a bit smaller. Next time I might make my own spacer from a strip of mat board- it wouldn’t be hard and it would be easy to get whatever depth I wanted.

Response from Frame Destination

Thank you for your feedback Eben! You can order the spacers separately and have them cut slightly smaller if you would like that fit better! If you have any questions please let us know! Thanks and have a great day!

I recently purchased $500 worth of frames and supplies and I was extremely happy with everything except these spacers they were cheap and flimsy and I did not like how they worked so I had to go out locally and buy ones that were actually cheaper and better.

Response from Frame Destination

Probably adequate for small scale work...no adhesive and flimsy for larger pieces ..40” just does not work. The frames are fantastic but feel I was taken with the spacers. I usual order from a different company,whose are more rigid and have adhesive strips.

Response from Frame Destination

Thank you for the review and feedback, Florence! We do have a customer satisfaction guarantee and would be happy to help with a solution on the spacers.

They were delivered in the wrong color so I didn't use them. They seemed flimsy so I accepted a refund (thank you) instead of a replacement.

Response from Frame Destination

Thank you for the review - we apologize for any inconvenience, but glad customer service could offer the refund.
