Framing and proper protection for your art is crucial and should not be left to amateurs. Many people purchase works of art for the frame. It should not be a surprise that frames can be a work of art in their own right. When coupled with outstanding art the combined result can have extraordinary impact.

Archival framing service using archival protective processing is a must for important works of art. For example, archival framers will only use linen tape to secure the work of art to the mat. They never use cellophane tape or masking tape or glue to secure a work of art.

Ultraviolet blocking glass is used to protect works of art from sunlight. Even so works of art should never be exposed to direct sunlight or bright artificial light for that matter.

Glass touching art is to be avoided. Condensation and various contaminants will adhere to the glass and damage the enclosed art. For this reason archival framers use mats. Acid free mats are a given. If mats can't be used, for whatever reason, plastic spacers will be substituted.

One key to archival framing is to use techniques that are reversible.

Alas, archival framing is not inexpensive. The value of your art must be considered. Do question your chosen framer. Also The library of Congress is a good source for information.

We, at Framin' Place, will be happy to explore options with you and answer all your questions.
