MATERIALS & HANDLING
Frames: The ConservArt Framing System
uses seamless, finished corner gallery frames with durable, classic
finishes in gold and pewter that will maintain their upscale appearance
for years. Moldings vary between 1" and 3" in width.
Matting: Custom "book" mats are cut from 100% cotton rage 4 ply white buffered museum board.
Un buffered, MicroChamberTM technology
and a variety of archival mat colors and/or textures are also
available. Hinging: All artwork is mounted onto 4 ply rag board using
wet- torn Japanese paper hinges applied with wheat starch paste and
backed with a sturdy, moisture proof neutral pH inert backing.
A full range of non-invasive hinging
techniques are also available for artwork on loan and for
three-dimensional objects. Hanging System: We provide a wireless three
point hanging system to assure stability and to provide a moderate
level of security. Other hanging options are available to suit the
individual needs of your institution.
Handling: All artwork is handled by trained technicians under the supervision of conservators.
