Tip of the Week: Did you know that art/photos can stick to the glass in a frame?

Did you know that art/photos can stick to the glass in a frame?

Anytime you frame something on paper (ex. a photograph) you should put matting in between the art and the glass. Matting acts as a space divider to protect art/photos from the glass surface.

How do we frame without matting?

SPACERS! Spacers are acid-free plastic strips placed in the frame to provide the needed air-space between art/photos and the glass! The best part of a Spacer is that it hides under the frame edge so it is hidden from view!
