• MUSEUM QUALITY
PRODUCTS &
TECHNIQUES
The framers at Soho Picture Framing NY are well versed in the most up to date conservation framing techniques and can provide fully reversible custom framing solutions. In addition to archival mats and glass, we only use acid-free backing and mounting to ensure the full conservation and protection of client’s artwork.
If necessary, the framers custom build wood strainers for additional frame support for larger artworks.
If there is even the slightest chance that the artwork being framed might touch the glass or plexiglass surface due to a mat not being used, we always recommend using custom built separation spacers made from mat board, wood, foam core, or plastic. This prevents long term damage from humidity or temperature changes, especially for more valuable or precious artworks.
