To safely display your vinyl records without damaging the album cover, you must use archival-grade materials and specific construction techniques that prevent physical and chemical deterioration. For over 20 years, we have followed the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) guidelines to ensure your collection remains in pristine condition.
To protect your records, we utilize the following preservation standards:
- Acid-Free Materials: We use acid-free backing boards and mats to prevent acid migration, which causes album covers to become yellow and brittle over time.
- Spacers: We install spacers to raise the vinyl and its cover off the glass. This is critical to avoid a “sandwiched” condition where the LP directly contacts the glazing, which can lead to irreversible damage.
- UV-Filtering Glazing: Our frames include UV-protective glass to shield the artwork and liner notes from light damage and temperature fluctuations.
- Environmental Protection: Proper framing stabilizes the environment around the record, protecting it from moisture and high humidity (above 50%) that can cause musty smells or warped cardboard sleeves.
You can Relive your memories by using our online portal to upload an image, choose media, and preview your custom frame design before we begin the assembly process at our Mississauga workshop. We typically complete production in 2 to 3 days, ensuring your music memorabilia is both beautiful and protected.
