There is usually padding material placed between the picture and the glass.

"L"-style frames are a simple variety that are constructed with a single L-shaped border of wood, with the bottom part of the L at the front of the frame to hold in the glass, object and backing, which are secured in from the back. In this type a frame, a framing mat should be used to distance the obect/picture from the glass, because condensation quickly accumulates inside any frame and causes damage to the picture.

"F"-style frames have an additional channel cut into them, which the glass is inserted into. This allows the picture to be framed without a mat and still have protection from condensation.

Other styles are clip frames, box frames and shadow boxes, among many others.
