Double Picture Frames Types And Description

Two Types Of Double Picture Frames

Double picture frames are best for displaying two viewable sections simultaneously. Horizontal and vertical double frames are available in all sorts of colors and materials. There are two types available: hinged double picture frame and the double sided picture frame. Both of these types of frames are usually presented on a desk or flat surface for best viewing.

Hinged Double Picture Frame

A hinged double picture frame got its name from the movable hinge joint used to fasten and connect the two frames. It has two identical frames and openings that usually fit regular photo sizes from the smallest wallet size up to 8” by 10”. This type is often used for double portraits or to commemorate an event portrait with a keepsake as in a wedding picture and the written wedding vows. A sample hinged frame can have a singular or multi picture slots at either frame opening.

Double Sided Picture Frame

A double sided picture frame displays images back to back. This type either hangs or rotates from one display to another. And this is sometimes called a floating frame and mostly made from glass. The most popular is the one that remains stable at the base. This type is usually made from acrylic plastic and is best known as open top acrylic frames. These are best for double sided viewing especially favored by restaurants and retail stores and are the least expensive of all types. Displays 2 Go has great offerings and competitive prices in this choice of frame.

Double picture frames are most popular for their versatility and creative aspects. Hinged double frames can be folded and stored easily. Double sided frames can be the central piece on a table to make viewing possible from both sides at the same time. Both have their uses and place to make presenting your photos and memorabilia extra special while also accommodating the space you have at the same time.

I got my picture frames from a garage sale. I found 3 easel types and 1 hinged type and they were in good condition too. They go great on top of my fireplace and out of reach of kids and pets. Garage sales and dollar stores do have good deals.

Hinged photo holders do make storing frames easy and fast. I simply fold them and store them when I need to. I like their versatility. Also, I don't need backings like easel frames do and this saves me space as well. The easel backing thingy looks really ugly especially if it's on a table and the opening is facing the other way.

Hinged frames can be dangerous, my 6 yr old nephew used one to trap his cousin's fingers just as she grabbed onto one side of the frames. Kids... We had to put lots of ice on her fingers. Look and appreciate - no touch, is my rule now whenever they come to my home.

Double picture frames are nice and lovely from all angles but they can be a pain to clean up. Especially if you have kids that touch them regularly. I try to put them up where they can't touch them, but even adult family and friends like to pick them up and I get saddled with cleaning lots of fingerprints left behind.

So that is what they are called - double sided picture frames. I saw just this frame the other day as a display piece in a store and it looked so good. Especially from front and back! I love it. This one was rather large since it was a display piece for a poster. I want just this type.
