About wooden frames for paintings, photographs, mirrors or similar objects, and other articles of wood

cpc code 31914 covers the production of wooden frames for paintings, photographs, mirrors, and other similar objects. This industry plays a vital role in the art, decor, and framing sectors, providing essential components for the display and preservation of visual media. As a key part of the broader wood products manufacturing industry, the wooden frame production industry contributes to the overall economic activity and employment in the manufacturing sector.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the wooden frame industry involve the cutting, shaping, and assembly of wood components. This typically includes sawing lumber to the desired sizes, using tools like miter saws and routers to create the angled corners and profiles, and then joining the pieces together using adhesives, nails, or other fasteners. Finishing processes like sanding, staining, and varnishing may also be employed to enhance the appearance and durability of the final frames.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the wooden frame industry are various types of wood, such as softwoods like pine or hardwoods like oak. Manufacturers may also require adhesives, fasteners, abrasives, and finishing materials like stains and varnishes. Specialized tools and machinery, such as saws, routers, and clamping devices, are essential for the production process. Additionally, skilled labor with knowledge of woodworking techniques is a crucial input for this industry.
