Green Framing

Sustainable framing and printing are among the options for healthcare art programs. Our partners in the frame and mat board industries have adapted many of the products used in “greening” a building, offering exciting new art and framing choices. Images can now be printed with water based inks with minimum VOCs. They can be printed on 100% eco-friendly cotton canvas or directly on renewable sources such as fine art bamboo paper and bamboo itself, resulting in artwork that has a soft, natural glow and a smooth finish which can be framed or unframed. Printing on brushed aluminum made of recycled post production aluminum provides yet another printing options.

Security Hardware

We suggest four point security hardware using two mounting brackets on top and two T-screws on bottom to eliminate rocking caused by three point hardware installation.
