Custom Eco-Friendly Framing

Specializing in museum quality finishing of photographic prints and works on paper

At David Levy Photography, we are proud to align ourselves with the sustainable movement, offering eco-conscious customers options that not only beautify their homes, offices and venues but also support our planet’s future.

We offer unique framing services that significantly reduce cost, waste and environmental impact. Our Frame Renewal Services (FRS) program allows us to minimize the impact of deforestation, transportation costs and environmental impact by recycling and up-cycling existing framing materials.

As part of our ongoing efforts to be at the forefront of social responsibility, we have established the FRS Program that provides our clients with the option to either purchase new or previously owned frames from our stock, or utilize their own frames to reduce labor and materials costs.

Frame mouldings are responsibly sourced from a variety of suppliers including charitable organizations. In this way a significant portion of the cost of material is transferred to support efforts that have a direct impact on improving the well being of society and thus allows us to provide our clients with conservation quality finishing services at a significantly reduced cost.

Going Green with Sustainable Conservation and Archival Practices

By selecting the following sustainable methods for archiving and conserving your framed pieces, we ensure your artwork lasts for generations to come while making eco-friendly choices in the process:

• Acid-Free and Recycled Materials including cotton based mat boards, mounting, and backing to minimise the environmental impact of your framing project.

• Eco-Friendly Adhesives, Tapes and Glues which offer strong bonding qualities without the harmful chemicals found in traditional products.

• Recycled standard glazing and UV-Protective Glazing: We can reuse old glass or clients can opt for newer UV-protective glazing, which not only shields your artwork from the sun’s harmful rays but is also typically made from recyclable materials, promoting sustainability.

• For photography we offer specialized museum quality conservation services:

• 100% Cotton Rag Board, Neutral pH, Acid Free, Lignin Free, Chlorine Free

• 2-, 4- & 8-ply

• Buffered with calcium carbonate

• For the preservation of historical photographs we highly recommend non-buffered rag board (available by special request).
