Framing Tips

If your frame presents mold and or insect infestation it is time for a new frame.

Artwork should be completely separated and isolated from any potentially damaging materials by an impermeable barrier such as glass or metal.

All attachments should be removable without damaging the artwork, or its support.
You should minimize exposure of the work to adhesives.

All artwork should be separated from the glass using a mat or a spacer.

If artwork is not properly framed and preserved, it can fade, yellow, stain, and even be burned by acids in inferior framing materials.

Use archival materials and methods to ensure protection to your artwork.

If you are planning to send artwork through the mail, we recommend the use of acrylic glass.
Conservation glass safeguards works against damaging ultraviolet light, blocking up to 97% of the harmful ultraviolet spectrum, and thus significantly reducing fading due to light exposure. By comparison, regular glass blocks approximately 47% of the ultraviolet spectrum.
