Want it to look great for a long time? Go archival.
Anytime you frame original art or anything of greater value – whether it’s of sentimental, historical or monetary value – it’s important to choose products that help preserve and protect your artwork.
- Mats and mountboards should be archival.
- UV glazing = sunscreen for your art.
UV rays are present in all light sources – both indoor and outdoor. So choosing UV protected acrylic or glass helps block the most of the UV rays that quickly fade colors and break down paper.
- Archival attaching - it’s also important
Don’t forget to think archival when attaching your artwork. Tape can be acidic so
choosing a conservation-friendly tape or non-adhesive mount product is vital.
