The Archival Cel Frame
18 × 14″ aluminum • one build, configured in your colors
- Optium Museum Acrylic — 99% UV protection, anti-reflective, anti-static
- 1/4″ acrylic spacer — holds the glazing off the mat, opening a dilution plenum in front of the cel where conventional framing has almost none
- Artcare scavenging, front and back — the spacer leaves the whole outer mat face exposed to the cel, not just a cut bevel
- Art-Sorb RH buffering — with a test certificate made from your own frame's material
- Floating mount — reversible, no adhesive contact with the cel
- Stated limits — built for A-D Level 0, tested to Level 1, and we say so
