Conservation Framing
Conservation and Museum framing is a method that uses acid free materials, correct mounting and glazing to protect your art work.
Acid present in paper pulp will yellow over time and can damage and burn art work. The use of acid free matting, backing, tapes and adhesives in conservation/museum framing protects your art from this burning.
The correct use of glazing is very important in conservation/museum framing. We offer a selection of conservation, non glare and museum glass to protect and deflect light from your art so you can enjoy it for years to come.

At Frame Gallery quality framing and outstanding design are our signature.
