With the summer now well under way and a glimpse of sunlight entering your house, you’re likely to be feeling uplifted and invigorated for the months ahead. However the sun isn’t always welcome, especially when it comes to pieces of fine art such as paintings. UV rays from sunlight can cause most paints including acrylics, oils and watercolours to fade when exposed for long periods, especially if they are in direct sunlight i.e. opposite a window. As well as UV rays, the increased temperature in a room during the summer can cause paints and canvasses to crack too.
To avoid your pieces of fine art being damaged during the summer months, it’s worth putting them in a climate controlled storage facility where they will be kept at the optimum temperature and humidity to preserve them. At Cube Fine Art, our climate controlled storage area allows us to control the temperature to a precision of 1 degree whilst air filtering ensures your piece will be kept at the correct atmospheric pressure to preserve it. The area is also constantly monitored to check the conditions are ideal. If you would like to know more about our purpose-built climate controlled storage facility or would like to make an appointment to view it, please contact us. The Cube Fine Art Team
