Framing with Purpose, Championing Sustainability
At Kendal Restoration, we believe that every frame should reflect not only the beauty of the object it holds, but the integrity of the materials behind it. That’s why we choose to work with suppliers who share our values—craftsmanship, responsibility, and care for the planet.
Two of our most trusted partners, Lion Picture Framing and Larson-Juhl, are leading the way in sustainable sourcing. Their commitment to ethical practices ensures that every moulding, mount, and material we use is as thoughtful as the restoration itself.
Lion Picture Framing: Practical Sustainability with a Local Focus
Lion PF has built its reputation on quality and innovation, with sustainability woven into its operations. Their approach is grounded in transparency and practicality, making it easy for framers and restorers to make responsible choices.
• FSC-certified timber: Lion prioritises mouldings made from wood sourced from responsibly managed forests. This ensures that every frame supports long-term forest health and biodiversity.
• Low-impact finishes: Many of their products use water-based or low-VOC coatings, reducing harmful emissions and improving indoor air quality.
• Efficient packaging: Lion uses recyclable and minimal packaging, helping reduce waste across the supply chain.
• UK-based distribution: By sourcing and distributing locally where possible, Lion reduces transport emissions and supports British manufacturing.
Their sustainability efforts are practical and accessible, allowing small workshops like ours to make better choices without compromising on quality.
