Titanium Frames (full, half, and frameless)
What's the difference between titanium and other metal frames? Titanium is a highly reactive metal that requires special treatment. The laser weld is done inside of an argon chamber to prevent oxidation during welding.
When customers come to us for repairs to titanium frames, it is often at the end of an extensive search. Many opticians don't have or know about the specific equipment required to do laser welding in an argon chamber. We have that equipment.
Titanium frames, like other metal frames, come in the following frame styles: full metal frames, half metal frames, and frameless metal.
