The Pillars of Conservation Framing
● UV Glazing: The Invisible Shield
● UV rays can fade and damage artwork over time. UV glazing involves using glass or acrylic that filters out harmful UV rays, ensuring your artwork remains unfaded and vibrant. SE1 Picture Frames use a range of UV glazing products that offer the best protection against light-induced ageing.
● Conservation Matting: More Than Just Aesthetic
● Conservation matting is not just about adding a visual border. It's about using acid-free mats that prevent yellowing and deterioration of the artwork. Our bespoke matting options provide a buffer against humidity and pollutants, ensuring the artwork remains untouched by external factors.
● Bespoke Handmade Frames: Tailored to Perfection
● Every piece of art is unique, and so should be its frame. Bespoke handmade frames from SE1 Picture Frames are crafted to complement and enhance your artwork, ensuring that the frame itself is a work of art. Customised to suit the specific needs of your piece, these frames provide robust physical support and aesthetic harmony.
