Glass

Framing behind glass offers the highest level of protection while maintaining clarity and refinement.

We recommend 99% UV-resistant glass, or 70% UV-resistant (AR70) glass with Reflection Control, to preserve colour and detail. For optimal conservation, 99% UV Control or ‘Museum Control’ glass is ideal.

All prints are carefully prepared and ready for framing on arrival, and are shipped in a sturdy cardboard roll with protective acid-free tissue. They may be safely stored in their packaging in a cool, dry environment until you are ready to frame.

We recommend handling and unrolling prints with care, or through your professional framer. If framing straight away behind glass, allowing a few days before framing will ensure the best long-term result.

Frame & Matt

A mat board creates space between the artwork and the glass, allowing the print to sit freely while enhancing its sense of visual space and presence.

Introducing additional space around the image - through a mat board or a wider frame - can elevate the overall impact of the work, often allowing it to feel larger and more considered within a room.

For larger works (generally over 80cm), a mat is not recommended, as the print may relax over time.

We recommend working with a professional framer and selecting archival-quality materials.

Foam spacers are not advised, as they can degrade and lose stability over time.

Mounting

For prints larger than A2 (42 × 59.5 cm), particularly those not matted, we recommend mounting onto 5mm acid-free rigid foam board (such as kapa or archival foam board) to keep the work smooth and stable.

This provides essential support and helps maintain a clean, flat presentation, particularly for larger-scale works.

While some framers may consider this non-archival, it is a widely accepted and practical approach, with the mounted structure becoming part of the finished artwork.

Your framer can advise on the most appropriate mounting method depending on the size and intended presentation of the piece.
