Protective framing

Conservation safe and protective framing options can also be offered by our specialist technicians, ensuring that paper is kept away from damaging acids and chemicals found in everyday mounts or backing boards.

In addition to this, UV protective glazing is available to prevent your precious document from fading. Any work on paper is highly susceptible to fading, so this is always recommended for ongoing safety.
