Conservation Framing


Some items require extra special care when being framed in order to provide extra special protection. We can provide this care and attention. Read on:-

When framing to Conservation standards its important to use materials set out by the Fine Art Trade Guild and use materials that meet Conservation standards which are set out below.

1) If mounts are required then it should be mount card that is acid free and lignin free and that has been buffered with calcium carbonate to ensure an alkaline pH value of 8.0-8.5. Museum mount card is also available which is made from 100% cotton fibre which is natually lignin free and offers the highest level of protection.

2) Glazing, there are many glazing options to choose from such as ordinary float glass which does not meet Conservation framing standards. Non Reflective glass to reduce reflections when looking at art work again this does not meet Conservation framing standards. For Conservation standards the glazing to use would be glazing that has been treated with a silica-based UV blocking agent such as Tru Vue glass which blocks harmful UV light rays. Perspex/Acrylic that is UV filtered is also available. Non Reflective UV filtered glazing is available which when used the result is virtually invisible glazing this is called Optium.

3) If acid free backing boards are required when framing original art work or expensive items then use Conservaton Art-Bak boards which have a white barrier paper side which faces the art work, it is buffered with calcium carbonate which will remain pH neutral for 300 years. For oversized art work barrier boards (acid free) are used to separate art work from the backing boards.
