Conservation picture framing helps protect artwork, photographs, documents, textiles, and keepsakes from avoidable fading, discoloration, and deterioration. DeSola provides custom conservation framing from its Spring, Texas showroom for customers throughout the Houston area.
Each project is evaluated individually so the framing materials suit the piece being preserved. Depending on the artwork, this may include acid-free matting, archival backing, UV-protective glazing, and mounting methods selected to minimize unnecessary contact or permanent alteration.
Archival Materials for Long-Term Protection
Conservation framing is appropriate for original artwork, limited-edition prints, family photographs, diplomas, certificates, historical documents, textiles, and other pieces with financial or personal value.
Older framing materials may contain acids that contribute to yellowing, staining, or deterioration over time. Reframing with conservation-quality materials can improve the presentation while helping reduce further damage.
Available options may include:
- Acid-free and archival matting
- Archival backing materials
- UV-protective glazing
- Reversible or minimally invasive mounting
- Custom frame and mat combinations
- Replacement of unsuitable older framing materials
The right combination depends on the condition, material, size, and intended display location of the piece.
Custom Conservation Framing at DeSola
Conservation framing should protect the artwork without overwhelming it. DeSola combines preservation-focused materials with custom frame, mat, and glazing options selected to complement the piece and its surroundings.
Bring your artwork, photograph, document, or keepsake to the Spring showroom for an evaluation. We will explain the available options and provide a conservation picture framing estimate based on the needs of the piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
DeSola sent two experienced installers to replace a double paned window with grilles. They did an excellent job. I also appreciated the great communication and updates received from the office staff. They have a very professional team.

Awesome service and product. The only place I would use for any glass or mirror work. Not the first time I have used them, I used them 25 years ago, and Dayle and his staff consistently demonstrate professionalism that reassures me. The mirrors I replaced were a bit difficult to fit, and Anthony and his crew made sure everything was perfect before finishing. They were on time, respectful of my home, and provided the product they said they would. Great experience.

Anthony from Desola class was analytical and detailed. I spent a tiny bit more money but got a far better deal. His competition were like framed by comparison. I highly recommend them as you first and only stop.

Absolutely recommend DeSola Glass. They renovated our primary bath shower glass and mirrors in the primary bath. They did an amazing job. The work is beautiful, they were professional and easy to work with, and the whole project turned out better than we expected. We’re thrilled with the results.

I contacted DeSola because we had a bad shower glass installation by another company that we lived with for about 4 years until one of the hinges fell off! Dayle had his crew come the next day to assess and remove the door for safety. He wasn't sure if it could be repaired or have to be replaced. We thought for sure that at least part of the glass would have to be removed and replaced. To our amazement, the guys were able to remove the door, adjust the door placement and re-install within less than an hour. No additional charge- just the trip charge that he quoted. I HIGHLY recommend DeSola Glass and appreciate Dayle, his crew, and the cost we paid.

Very professional team! Our customer wanted custom shape mirrors to accent the pool, we were told by other companies that this would be a challenging job but not for DeSola, they got it down to exactly what our customer wanted. Amazing job!
