Many in the Framing Industry think of Raphael's as a supplier of just two products: Fabrics and Fabric-Covered Liners. While it is certainly true that directly and indirectly we sell a very large portion of all the "liner product" consumed here in the US, fabric-covered Liners are simply the best known example of a broad assortment of customizing components we offer. Some of these products are in fact unique, and quite costly, fabricated to suit a particular need, but most have a much wider range of applications and a far more reasonable cost.
For those looking to offer their clients the utmost in originality, our collection of accents, enhancements, and production capabilities are an indispensable ingredient of the design process. In good times and in bad, the country's most creative Framer's have long recognized the irresistible appeal of product that is not common.
We offer an incomparable number of cost-effective components that can literally help you make every project one-of-a-kind. We invite you to take a look around our website and see how Raphael's can help you bring originality to more of your work.
The special shapes we've covered in the images above and below are just a couple of examples of the potential of our versatile new Panel Liner Program. We've taken the concept of "Liner" to a new, far more creative level. Multiple openings, with or with out rabbets, more depth than a Mat, in sizes up to 48" X 96", this is the sort of product that only Raphael's can offer you. Its one of the many reasons we like to say that "between the Art and the Frame, you're in Raphael's country!" Welcome to the future look of the fabric-covered Liner.
Our products embellish and customize almost any type of art or image. This is what Raphael's is about.
