Conservation framing employs the use of materials that have been proven to protect and maintain art in as close to its original condition as possible.

There are a few ways to protect your art from damage. If you truly want to protect your art, be it for commercial or sentimental reasons, we can employ the following:

• Conservation Series Glass

Ultra-violet light is one of the most dangerous elements that your artwork can encounter. It will not only cause your colors to fade to a mere shadow of their former glory, but will cause the materials themselves to begin to break down right in the frame.
Conservation quality glass is specially formulated to protect framed works of art from the damaging effects of ultra-violet light. Some conservation glass can block over 97% of these most damaging light rays.

• Conservation Quality Matboard

Ordinary pulp-based matboard contains acids and lignins which, over a period of time, damage the artwork they come in contact with.
Conservation quality artboard is free of all acids, lignins and other impurities found in ordinary "pulp" board. The result is an inert or pH neutral board which will cause no damage to the artwork it encases as time goes by.

• We will follow strict adherence to proper conservation
  techniques for mounting the artwork (sometimes called
  "hinging") and sealing your artwork.

We are fully versed in the specifics of conservation hinging. We understand how much precious works of art mean to an individual, and we are adamant that proper conservation standards be upheld.
