Hanging Your Artwork - Part 1 - Protect Your Art from Heat, Humidity and UV Rays

When hanging your framed art, be sure to take into consideration the place where you will be hanging it.  Do not hang your framed art where it may become damaged by heat, ultraviolet (UV) light or humidity, such as above a heater, under fluorescent lighting or in a bathroom.  Always hang your artwork out of the line of direct sunlight!  Be sure to ask your framer to use Tru-Vue conservation glass which will filter out most of the harmful UV light rays.  If you can not avoid hanging your artwork opposite several large windows, you may want to consider using Tru Vue Museum glass.  Museum glass does not only block out most UV light rays, but it also cuts down on the amount of glare and reflections in your glass making the glass nearly invisible.
