TUBE MAP FRAMING SPECIFICATIONS

The Gallery Standard: Tube Map Print Framing

Museum-Grade Presentation

My framed tube map prints are unique "ready-to-hang" fan gifts. I don't use plastic frames or cheap laminate; I use FSC®-certified solid wood crafted in Germany.

  • Precision Finish: 16mm wide, 25mm deep profile for a sleek, modern gallery look.
  • Professional Mounting: Each print includes a 1400-micron acid-free white mount (45° bevel cut) to provide depth and protect the paper from touching the glass.
  • German Craftsmanship: Quality you can feel, built to last a lifetime.

Premium Glazing & UV Protection

Protecting your art is my priority.

  • Standard Sizes: I use edge-ground float glass providing approximately 45% UV protection to prevent fading.
  • A1 Statement Prints: For my largest size, I use 3mm premium clear acrylic. It offers the same clarity as glass but is virtually shatterproof during global transit.

The Gold Standard of Paper

I use Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth (305 gsm).

  • 100% Alpha Cellulose: This is a premium, acid-free archival paper.
  • Ultra-Smooth Texture: Designed to capture the intricate details of my complex music maps with vibrant, deep blacks.

Art with a Conscience (Carbon Neutral)

Your purchase supports the planet as much as it does the arts.

  • Carbon Neutral: Produced under certified carbon-neutral processes.
  • Supporting Forests: My UK supplier is a member of the Woodland Trust’s carbon capture scheme, and all wood is FSC-certified from responsibly managed forests.

Shipped Safely, Globally: Every framed print is housed in custom-engineered packaging to ensure it arrives in pristine condition, no matter where in the world you are.
