MOUNTBOARD
Conservation mount board is my standard requirement
(NO! -It won't cost you anymore than I would expect to charge for a 'less' quality product).
Your artwork is to be Framed to last!
Each
year I receive a number of original watercolours for re-framing -1/4 inch / 7mm acidic bleed is quite common (a typical example of this comes in the appearance of a darkening mid brown shading where the mount sits against the image). The importance of using the correct product is essential to prevent acid migration.
You pay for what you get?
I say - You pay for not knowing what you get! |

GLASS
2mm
float -the normal standard glazing found on most pictures.
3mm
float -for large pieces (but does add increasing weight!).
2mm Diffused -termed as non-reflective by most, this is seen in the trade as misleading. -good reflection control in areas of low light & very easy to clean!
2mm Styrene -common properties to Perspex, the product is an inexpensive acrylic way of glazing for safety, but this product, as Perspex SCRATCRES on touch (great though for viewing reverse of a double sided document or map for framing).
3mm Artshield -a lightweight acrylic alternative to glass, giving added piece of mind against the dangers of breakage (whilst care needs to be taken this product most certainly does not scratch in the way of Styrene or Perspex).
- Anti -Reflective -optically coated, this glass unlike float glass has Virtually NO irritating surface reflections -you see only the picture, and not your own mirror image. With it's outstanding light transmission your picture has sharp image reproduction Total clarity. (my personal favourite!).
- UV Filter -Ultra violet light filtering glass designed to protect both colour pigments & paper from the damages caused by exposure to uv light.
NOTE -pictures of either value or sentiment should not be hung in sunlit positions or areas of halogen & florescent light!
- Museum -Highest quality, as the name states -used by museums. Optimum reflection control & UV protection combined.
