"All Pretty, No Acid" Campaign at Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co. is now in play! While good - make that great - design is always our goal, we are one frame shop that works just as hard at preserving and protecting your heirlooms, photos, prints, and other special objects when we frame them.
Gordy Fine Art & Framing uses only acid-free matboard, tapes, foam core and backing papers, because a frame is like a time capsule. The items inside are locked in for a long, long time, and any amount of acid will obviously affect the contents. We see damaged photos, certificates, and even expensive prints often at our framing tables, because truly acid-free products are a relatively new concept. When we open these old frame packages, we find a nasty, "burned" ring on the artwork or photo. Sometimes, the object itself has begun to break down.
If your piece was framed more than ten years ago, the mat probably has acid in it. Look at the beveled edge of the mat. If it is discolored - yellow or orange - you probably have an acid situation that needs correcting asap. Bring us your tired, your poor acid-burned mats and change them out with acid-free versions. Print out this page to use as a coupon for $10 off a single transaction, good thru July 31, 2010.
Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company, saving art and memories one acid-free mat at a time.
