Why Use a Custom Picture Framing Professional?
Custom Picture Framing is the art and science that it takes to create an aesthetically pleasing, structurally sound, and safe environment for artwork to live.
​
This is possible by utilizing time-honored practices and taking advantage of the new procedures and products that are now available to the custom picture framing industry. This combination allows picture framers to create beautiful presentations and safe havens for your artwork.
​
Your art will be protected if these basic preservation practices are followed: use ultraviolet (UV) light blocking glazing, provide neutral Ph surroundings, and follow proper mounting procedures.
​
Preservation framing is accomplished with materials that do not harm the artwork using reversible techniques, thus protecting against anticipated environmental hazards. The frame itself is what provides overall support and stability.
To Protect and Enhance Your Artwork
Heritage Art & Frames provides the following services and products to protect and enhance your artwork.
Matting
Mats have a very important role in an archival framing package they keep the glass from touching the artwork which provides air space that can prevent damage due to condensation that can build up on the glazing. Think about those photographs that you have seen that were stuck to the glass. We use only preservation quality acid-free and lignin-free mat boards. Other design options can be employed to separate the glazing from the artwork such as liners, stacked molding, shadowbox walls, or acrylic spacers.
Glazing
Ultraviolet (UV) light is present practically everywhere it is the reason we see color. Over time, exposure to UV light will cause artwork to fade, yellow, become brittle, and deteriorate. Using glazing that blocks 99% of harmful UV light will allow you to enjoy your art over time while keeping it as safe as possible. UV filtering products do not offer 100% protection, so it is important to hang artwork away from direct sources of ultraviolet light.
Heritage Art & Frames offers the following Tru-Vue UV filtering glazing products.
Museum • Conservation Clear • Conservation Reflection Control • Optium Acrylic
Conservation Clear Acrylic • Conservation Reflection Control Acrylic
