Frequently Asked Framing Questions What is Conservation Framing? - Conservation Framing utilizes materials and techniques that have been proven to protect and maintain art work and memorabilia in as close to it's original condition as possible. The major components of Conservation Framing involve the use of acid-free mounting materials, proper hinging and sealing of the art work, and the use of conservation glass. Ordinary paper pulp based mat board contain acids and lignins which, over time, damage the art work that they contact. Conservation mat board and mounting materials are acid free and will not cause damage to the art work which they touch. Ultraviolet light is also extremely dangerous for your art work. Not only will colors fade, but also the actual materials will begin to degrade. The use of conservation glass will protect your framed art, insuring that over 97% of the damaging ultraviolet light is filtered out before contacting your valuables.
