How to Create a Space Between Glass & Artwork
Easy to use FrameTek Econospace spacers create a gap between glass and artwork. Ideal for spacing unmounted tapestries away from the glass.
- Easy to cut to length
- Satin finish on one side and glossy on the other
- Available in clear, white & black in 1.5mm, 3mm, 6mm & 9.5mm profiles
To cut the Econospace you will need either 45° Slip Cutters.
-
1) Clean glass with LION Glass & Mirror Cleaner (household glass cleaners can contain wax or polish which will prevent a great bond.
2) Cut the Econospace lengths to size and position along with four lengths of glass. Ensure you cover all edges.
-
3) Once happy with positioning, peel off the release paper from the spacers, place on cleaned glass and apply good, even pressure. Do this on all four sides.
-
4) Fit the glass into the picture frame, as you would a normal job. The Econospace spacers should be facing upward to the back of the frame.
-
5) Place in your artwork, mountboard and backing board to rest on top of the spacers.
-
6) Seal the frame with a Point Driver, tape the back of the frame and fix picture hangers.
