Conservation Framing





Home
Up


Your valuable art collection, and documents need to be framed with conservation materials, it is an important form of insurance.

When framing art on paper, it is important not to restrict the paper from breathing by sealing all the edges. Use 100% cotton mat boards and attach art to the 100% cotton back board (foam core or 4 ply mat) with acetate corners or mulberry paper hinges.

Sunlight is quick to fade artwork, use conservation glass (UV protected glass) it is a little more in price, but it will save you in the long run.

Conservation mat boards come in a variety of textures and colours, making preserving artwork fun.

The Art Tree is committed to using high quality conservation materials throughout your entire project. Call 403-247-3255 for an appointment.
