I'm interested to see how good it turns out.

Can't agree enough. Plexiglass is the way to go especially for larger pieces. It keeps the weight down and would prevent less damage if it falls. I think it's a bit more expensive than glass. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's always easier to replace a piece of plastic rather than the artwork.

Do they offer UV protection and reflection free versions of plexi glasses?
I personally like glass frames. A painting should never fall. It should be hanged properly

From the web site: blocks 99% of UV light and less than 1.6% of light reflection. It was really expensive, so I won't be using that for everything I buy. If anyone knows of a cheaper plexi let me know.

Art above a Radiator? • Humidity • Condensation , by kultur on May 30, 2013 5:02:01 GMT 1, There is very little visual difference between glass and plexi. Something just has to break once and you will make sure that everything else is in plexi. Also, living in an earthquake zone... almost every piece I have is in UV plexi or regular plexi. I mostly order my UV plexi from www.acrylite-shop.com/US/us/uv-filtering-op2-op3-1lyipurve89/acrylite-framing-grade-colorless-0b000-gt-op-3-id3xrzaoivi~p.html. Just tell them the size and they ship it to you. Even with tax and shipping it is about the price you would pay at a framer for regular glass.

Ah, didnt even think of that. And children can be an "earthquake" too.
Ive seen some screw them to the wall. That that might be a bit "harsh" again.
I cant bother to read the whole tread again hehe, but how did it go with the Applause print inside the frame?
Thats the biggest consern i would think.

Saying that I haven't the balls to hang any prints above them as I'm worried about the humidity.

I sold a framed Flag to a mate at work about 4 years ago and he's got it on the wall above a radiator in his office at home. It was flat when I let it go but I've just seen a pic of it and it has rippled quite a bit. Probably something to do with the chromalux (?) paper the print's on and a result of the changing extremes of hot/cold

I appreciate the offer but as a gallery I stay away from the free give aways, I don't think it would go down well, but I'll keep an eye on your work and maybe someday one will jump out and I'll buy one
Ps:- the print looks great by the way

I'd be happy with Stik big Issue prints above a rad.
But not a Stik print edition.
