CARING FOR YOUR CANVAS ARTWORK

We understand the importance of proper care to ensure the longevity and preservation of your canvas prints. Here are some essential tips to help you maintain and protect your canvas art:

 

1. UNPACKING YOUR CANVAS PRINT:

When you receive your canvas print, handle it with care and avoid touching the printed surface directly. Use clean hands or wear gloves for added protection. Remove the packaging materials gently to avoid any accidental damage.

 

2. FLATTENING THE CANVAS:

If your canvas print arrives rolled, carefully unroll it and place it on a flat surface. Allow the canvas to naturally smooth out and settle, allowing any minor creases or wrinkles acquired during shipping to disappear over time.

 

3. AVOID EXCESSIVE TOUCHING:

To prevent smudging, smearing, or creasing, it is advisable to minimize touching the printed surface of the canvas. If handling is necessary, use clean hands or wear gloves to protect the artwork.

 

4. DISPLAYING YOUR CANVAS PRINT:

Choose an appropriate location for your canvas art, taking into account environmental factors that can affect its preservation:

 

- SUNLIGHT: Protect your canvas from direct sunlight, especially intense or prolonged exposure. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can fade the colors and cause the canvas to deteriorate over time. If possible, position your canvas away from windows or use UV-filtering glass or window coverings for added protection.

 

- HUMIDITY: Maintain a relative humidity level between 35% and 55% to prevent excessive moisture or dryness, as both can impact the canvas. Avoid hanging your canvas in areas prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms or basements.

 

- TEMPERATURE: Keep your canvas away from extreme temperature fluctuations and environments. Avoid hanging it near heat sources like radiators or air conditioning units, as well as areas with excessive cold or heat. Stable temperature conditions are ideal for preserving the integrity of the canvas.

 

- POLLUTANTS: Minimize exposure to dust, dirt, and pollutants, as they can accumulate and affect the appearance of your canvas. Regularly dust the surface using a soft, dry cloth or a gentle brush to remove any loose particles.
