The materials used to frame your artwork will make all the difference between a lifetime of enjoyment or the rapid decline of its value and beauty. The nature of your artwork (oil, pastel, watercolor, etching, etc.) must be taken into consideration when designing your frames. Oil paintings and acrylics tend to be the most durable, needing neither glass nor matting. Original works on paper need special care to prevent fading, discoloration, and the growth of mold. At Robyn Buntin of Honolulu, we have specialized in providing museum quality framing with archival materials for thirty years. Here are a few examples of what we use to keep your artwork looking its best.

|
| Frames |
Choosing a frame is a fun and creative process.
Wood frames are preferred to metal frames because of their
ability to join tightly, allowing less moisture seepage.
Wood frames come in a wide variety of finishes including
natural, colored, metallic and antiqued. Highest

| Matting |
Acid-free matting prevents your artwork from
turning brown (toning) and getting acid stains. Conservation
matting comes in a huge array of colors and
textures to suit your
design needs; acid-free rag mat, 100% silk,
100% linen, and specialty acid-free paper
mats. Hint: Acid-free
mats will always remain pure white on the inside so if you see
that the bevel of your mats at home are getting brown,
you know that they need your attention! |
| Glazing |
Glazing is just the technical term for what type of glass or Plexiglas that you use. We highly recommend ultra-violet filtering Plexiglas which filters 99% of the ultraviolet exposure. Even ambient light in a Hawaii home can cause fading over time. Plexiglas has an added benefit of being much lighter and is less likely to shatter and ruin your artwork.
|
| Mounting |
Mounting refers to the technique used to adhere it to another material. Most items can be hinge-mounted with acid-free tapes or papers. If your artwork is wrinkled and you would like to flatten it, we suggest archival mounting which is reversible, archival, ph balanced and acid-free. For textiles and other
three-dimensional works, sew mounting may be most appropriate.
With invisible thread, we are able to sew the item in place,
creating a clean and safe presentation by distributing the
weight of the piece.
Each work of art is unique and we are always happy to help
you decide the best way to preserve and display your work. |
