Signs Your Vinyl Collection Needs Professional Framing
When there is a musty smell, or when you can tell that the cardboard sleeves have warped, this often indicates that the humidity level was too high. According to CCI guidelines, paper objects stored above 50% relative humidity risk mold and accelerated decay. When the cover and inner insert appear yellow and brittle, this signals damage due to UV light and temperature fluctuations. Our conservation focussed custom framing stabilizes these conditions by enclosing each sleeve in acid-free materials and UV-filtering glazing, helping to preserve the artwork and the liner notes for years.
What Custom Vinyl Record Framing Includes
Begin with professional frame work using high quality archival grade material to protect your LPs from damage caused by exposure to light, moisture and chemicals. We follow the conservation guidelines from the Canadian Conservation Institute in regards to frame construction for all of our customers, including acid free backings that will prevent acid migration and spacers to raise your vinyl up off the glass to avoid a sandwiched condition where the LP contacts the glass directly through the use of clips.
Each package includes a complimentary appointment where you can decide how to style your pictures with the frame, mat and placement.
These preservation techniques and customisation options prevent warping, fading, and acid burn, keeping the record in pristine condition. These material and layout choices form the foundation for selecting the correct frame dimensions, matting width, and display orientation.
Choosing the Right Frame, Size, and Display Layout
Selecting the right frame for a vinyl record combines aesthetic appeal with preservation. We recommend moulding that complements the album’s colour palette and conservation-grade materials. Acid-free backing boards and spacers, as advised by the Canadian Conservation Institute, prevent the record from touching the glass. Never sandwich the vinyl directly against glass with clips—this can cause irreversible damage over time.
Standard sized 12” records fit well in 12.5” x 12.5” frames if you’re careful with your measurements; precise measuring ensures a perfect fit. When arranging multiple records, a uniform grid creates a clean, gallery-style display.
