<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9423767, member: 8267&quot;]Sorry, [USER=22667]@research[/USER], I should have noticed that you were new to the forum, and been a little less flippant with my initial answer. But as a rule, the more information you can give us the more helpful we can be.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not familiar with any standardized products such as this for framed paintings, as they are so variable.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you do not have strict climate control, completely encasing anything can be problematic, potentially trapping moisture and any bad chemicals &quot;off-gassing&quot; from the object itself. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is an important consideration. If the frame needs reinforcement to be secure, you might consider attaching a solid backing board, screwed to the back of the frame on all 4 sides. </p><p><br /></p><p>For dust and UV protection, a 5 sided UV filtering plexiglas box (with a front and sides, but no back) might work, mounted on the wall over the painting. Ventilation holes could be drilled in the bottom edge of the box. Alternatively (and less expensively), a single sheet of plexi could be mounted using spacers to stand it out from the wall. You would have to come up with something else to close the sides to keep out dust - ideally something that would allow some air flow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
