More About Custom Design Frameworks

Since 2015, we have been manufacturing our ligature-resistant frames which are also abuse and graffiti resistant. Our specialty coating is the same as that used on amusement park rides and on military hangars. Graffiti caused by permanent magic markers can even be easily removed using Goof Off and almost any solution can be used for daily cleaning without the worry of removing the finish. CDF utilizes color-coordinated recessed security screws to fasten our frames onto our wall mounting system. Matching plugs are available which are cut from the same wood as the frames to insure a perfect match. 

We are proud to have received several regulatory and independent professional recognitions including:

• Inclusion in the Design Guide for the Built Environment of Behavioral Health Facilities since 2014.

• Approval by the Patient Safety Standards, Materials and Systems Guidelines recommended by the New York State Office of Mental Health.

• Recognition provided by James M. Hunt, AIA, NCARB on Behavioral Health Facility Consulting.
