Conservation Framing

Why use conservation framing?

If it's worth preserving, preserve it - whether it's an original artwork, a limited edition print, a newspaper clipping, an original photograph or maybe your child’s hand or footprint.

Here at Leacock framing, we work to the highest standards for conservation and use techniques and materials that are designed to preserve and protect artwork for generations.


That means:

• Conservation mountboard or Cotton Museum mountboard that conforms to the the most rigorous specifications.
• Mouldings sealed with strips of thick pH neutral fabric, Conservation mountboard or a conservation foil and paper tape.
• Conservation or Museum glass that offers the greatest anti-UV radiation and reflection control
• Book mount Japanese tissue mounts if appropriate

Our conservation and preservation framing preserves and protects artwork by ensuring that all the materials used in framing and mounting will not harm your artwork, and will, as much as possible, protect it from physical damage - whether UV light, pollution or the acids in inferior framing materials.

Because conservation framing materials are made to be permanent, they feature colors that will not fade, maintaining the appearance of your framed work for years to come. Preservation framing can protect the value of all your artwork, photographs and memorabilia, preserving and protecting it for the enjoyment of generations to come.
