Types of Museum Rag Mat Boards

All the museums and art galleries use conservation framing materials for preserving their treasured artwork. Such framing techniques involve special materials designed to protect the paintings from air pollutants and sun light. Since the materials needed for encasing comes in close contact with the picture, they should be of archival quality. There are framing materials of non-archival quality which are less expensive than the archival one. However, such materials can cause irreversible damage to the picture.

Museum board

In addition to this, such museum rags absorb the acid that is released by the artwork. For example, chemically treated photographs require a special museum mat board that can absorb the photochemical present on the surface of the picture. Alpha cellulose mats are a very common archival quality mat boards that are available in various inner outline to give gallery-quality look to the pictures.

Backboard

The matted artwork needs further protection through ply museum boards. These acid-free ply museum boards help to protect against the high humidity in the air.
