Why should I use Museum Glass?

A few weeks ago I had a customer come into the shop to get an estimate on replacing the plexi-glass in her large frame with museum glass. She told me that the room where the painting was hanging, had a large amount of windows, causing a lot of reflection on the glass. I gave her the estimate, and she said that she would be in soon. Within a week or two, she dropped off the painting, and I switched the glass out for her. Here is what she had to say about the glass after they hung the painting back up:

"Hi Dan,
Well, we are home and Courtney just finished hanging the picture.....It is wonderful! I am so happy we decided to use the museum glass. I think, in the bright sunlight, if we stand on the side, there might be a bit of reflection, but not enough to bother. I'll send you a picture of the room and painting when I take one. (I have a new camera, so that will be fun.)
Thanks again. We'll see you soon with Cort's ship picture.
Camilla"

This is why I love custom framing! And being a business owner! ;)

Introducing Forest Friendly Framing Products to Northern Vermont



Village Frame Shoppe Introduces Certified Forest Friendly Frames and Matboards to Franklin County and Northern Vermont

Local Retailer introduces new certified “green” frame and matboard products!

As more Vermont residents work towards living a “greener” life, the need for eco-friendly products and services grows. Today it’s almost impossible to walk down a store aisle without seeing some reference to earth-friendly products. But how do you know which products are actually green? The number one answer is to shop for certified products and services. Village Frame Shoppe is now offering a selection of certified forest friendly frames and matboards for your next custom framing project.

Village Frame Shoppe is now offering Larson-Juhl frames from the Biltmore and Sorrento collections that are PEFC certified. PEFC, which stands for the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, is the world’s largest forest certification system ensuring the chain of custody from forest to final product meets sustainability standards. Through third-party certifications, such as PEFC, Vermont’s consumers can be confident that they are purchasing a product that is from a well-managed, sustainable forest.

In addition to offering PEFC certified frames, Village Frame Shoppe is also offering the Artique collection of FSC certified matboards. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is the fastest growing forest certification system in the world. Products carrying the FSC label are independently certified to assure consumers the products come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations. In addition to FSC certification, these products also carry the Rainforest Alliance certification. The Rainforest Alliance works with the FSC to ensure that products do not negatively impact indigenous populations, come from conservation areas, come from genetically modified trees and are not illegally harvested.

“We are excited to introduce these eco-certified framing products to northern Vermont! By purchasing certified forest friendly products from Larson-Juhl, we are showing our commitment to ensure that we are making a difference in protecting the future of our natural resources,” says Dan Pattullo owner of Village Frame Shoppe.

For additional details on how you can source certified “green” products for your home, or to see these certified products, please visit Village Frame Shoppe or call (802) 933-6403.
