‘Artique’ is a fine range of coloured, high alpha cellulose conservation mountboards from Larson Juhl, available in two thicknesses, 1.4mm and 2.8mm. The 2.8mm boards have the same colour at their core as their surface. The 1.4mm boards have a white core finished with a wide selection of coloured surface papers in neutral, bright and dark shades. Certain colours are available with a surface texture. ‘Artique’ complies with the Fine Art Trade Guild Conservation Level. This assures framers and consumers that their artwork will withstand the test of time and be well protected by the board.Specification• Made from chemically purified wood fibres, with a high alphacellulose content• Lignin-free.
