Prints tolerance to cold weather / room temp, by Lord Lucas Roham on Dec 11, 2017 10:53:54 GMT 1, I have just purchased and framed a reasonably expensive print (£20000+), it's been float mounted, 300gsm Somerset paper.
It's been hung in my front room on an external wall which in all honesty is pretty cold.
I am way with work a lot and the room isn't really used during the winter when the outside temp -8 (as it is today) the room barely gets above double figures, that's with the central heating on.
Is there are issues with this as regards the prints capacity to handle low temperatures? The room is not damp and there is no condensation.
Anyone experienced any issues or have an insight?

Anyone experienced any issues or have an insight? should be ok but as you say damp would be my main concern. outside walls is older property's are commonly damp. check to back of the frame regularly... |

I may move it to an interior wall during winter to be on the safe side.

Thanks, yeah it's an older house. 1850's so no cavity wall. I may move it to an interior wall during winter to be on the safe side. |

... protector cushioned pads for a £1 from Poundland ... the ones you can put on the bottom chairs of legs ...

If there's airflow then damp isn't going to an issue. Check amazon as there are loads of sellers flogging these little rubber nubs.

If it is plaster boarded it would be worth checking if insulated plasterboard was used.
