Mats
A mat (mount) gives the artwork room to breathe and keeps it off the glass. Choose single or double, in bright white, soft white or black, with an optional deeper bottom border for a classic gallery look. All our mats are acid-free conservation board.
Glass
- Clear glass. Standard picture glass. Blocks about 45% of UV, with normal reflections.
- UV-protective glass. Blocks 99% of UV light to slow fading. Conservation grade, with normal reflections.
- UltraVue anti-reflective glass. Almost no reflection and crystal-clear colour, with 70% UV protection. The happy medium between clear and museum glass.
- Museum glass. Almost invisible (under 1% reflection) with 99% UV protection. The best view and the best protection.
- Acrylic. Light and shatter-resistant. Best for large frames and children's rooms.
Conservation
Every glazed frame is backed with archival foamboard. For originals and limited editions, choose UV-protective or museum glass (99% UV protection), or UltraVue as a clearer, lower-cost middle option, and consider spacers to keep the work off the glass. More on light and glass on our styling page.
Special orders and repairs
Other mouldings from our suppliers, shadow boxes and objects, oversized work, reframing and repairs are quoted individually, as they depend on availability and supplier delivery times. Send us the details.
