| where to hang a picture? |
| Ideally art should be hung on a wall not
opposite direct sunlight. This may, in time, cause fading.
Equally, positions directly over radiators, fireplaces
and other heating systems should be avoided. If you particularly
wish to hang an artwork in a position which is not ideal,
it is useful to advise your framer. |
| For example, if you wish to hang a picture
in a bathroom, silicone beading can be applied to the
glass to ensure a moisture seal. |
| Rapid change in temperature inside a frame
will cause condensation to form increasing the possibility
of board and art damage due to moisture inside the frame. |
| Newly plastered walls should be allowed to
'dry out' for 6 months before hanging any artwork. Moisture
can be absorbed from the back of the picture due to the
close contact. |
| |
| the choice is yours |
| If you have a colour scheme or you would like
the frame to match woodwork in your home or office, feel
free to bring a sample with you. |
| This approach, however, may not always be appropriate. |
| Think carefully why you want this artwork framed. |
| The colour of a wall can change. If a mount and frame is chosen to enhance the artwork a position
can always be found to display it. |
