Water colour paintings, drawings and other artistic works on paper are framed under glass.

Important in this case is the distance between the painting and the glass.

The particles of pigment in the paint (our extremely efficient method of printing is based on pigment-colours) can start to adhere to the protective glass covering of the canvas and to prevent unnecessary picture deterioration a passepartout is fitted between the canvas and the glass so as to avoid direct contact. This principle also applies to watercolour, pastels or lithographic paintings.

A passepartout - window provides the necessary distance and protects your artwork.

CopiArte delivers only high-quality passepartout materials from recommended paper restorers. These are acidity-freely and manufactured 100% from bleached cellulose and free from lignified fibres, lignin and resins. They fulfil highest quality standards for archiving and conservation of the most valuable paintings.

For security-reasons and the danger of brakes during the transportation, CopiArte does not delivers glazed pictures. A glazier on the spot can cut for you inexpensively and quick the necessary sizes.
