Poor quality framing causes the vast majority of damage that paper conservators encounter. GK Framing is the exception in fine art framing and utilizes 100% cotton rag board and moisture-barrier backings. Works on paper and photographs are hinged or mounted using Japanese paper and wheat starch paste, which have superior aging properties and reversibility. Paintings are framed with moisture and impact resistant backings to protect from punctures, tears, and water damage. The glazing we provide contains ultra-violet filters to deter fading. This is critical, especially if your art is light-sensitive as is often the case with watercolors, pastels, textiles, woodblock prints, and color photographs. The end result – superbly framed artwork.
