Fabrication of Bespoke Protective Covers for paintings and indoor sculptures. Our covers can be used to protect sensitive works from UV, visible light, dust, and moisture during periods when the artwork is not being viewed. These custom-made covers are constructed using a multi-layered system, offering UV protection >UPF 50+. They are pH neutral, hydrophobic, and anti-static whilst remaining breathable, strong, and lightweight.
