Keeping History Safe: Special Showcases for Old Writings and Art
Created on Today
Keeping old books and art safe is a job that calls for real care and the right setup. People who work in museums and galleries, including those who sell display cases, have a challenge: How do you keep these treasured items from getting ruined by age, dampness, and chemical reactions? The answer is smart display cases that don't have acid and can control the air's dampness.
At Boxin, we get why it’s so important to protect old and precious things. We're adept at making display cases that keep delicate art safe. This article looks at what makes our showcases special, like how materials without acid, tight seals, and special air systems lower the chance of mold and damage. Our past work shows that mold problems can drop by 90%.
What's Not Obvious: Acid and Dampness
Before we get into how to solve these problems, let's talk about what causes them. Old books and paintings use paper, silk, and natural colors that can be easily hurt by what's around them.
- Acid: Over time, stuff breaks down and releases acids that can hurt art. This causes colors to fade or turn yellow, and things become weak. Normal display materials can make this worse if they aren't acid-free.
- Dampness: Changes in dampness are a big issue. Too much dampness causes mold, which can lead to damage, stains, and weakness that lasts. Too little dampness makes things break or crack. Keeping dampness steady is super important for keeping things safe for a long time.
Therefore, a high-quality display cabinet can avoid the above problems.
The Basics of Keeping Things Safe: Acid-Free Stuff (pH 7-8.5)
We keep art safe by using materials that don't have acid in them. Everything that touches the art inside our showcases has pH levels between 7 and 8.5. This cancels out acids and makes a safe place for your collections.
- Inside Layers: We use cloths that are acid-free.
- Glues and Sealants: Our glues won't release bad stuff.
- Building Materials: Even parts you can't see are made so they don't cause reactions.
Using the right stuff is the first move in stopping chemical damage.
The Hidden Shield: Tight Sealing
Besides what things are made of, a display case has to be sealed tight to keep the inside safe. Our showcases have strong seals to keep out dust, pollution, and dampness.
- Good Strips: We use quality strips that seal openings.
- Strong Locks: Our locks keep things from being stolen and seal the case tightly.
- Careful Build: We build cases with care to cut down on leaks.
Tight seals also help our air systems work well, so your items stay in a stable place.
Stopping Dampness: Air Systems Inside
With stuff that has no acid and tight seals, the next thing is controlling dampness. Our showcases have air systems that keep moisture levels steady.
- Smart Things: The air systems have sensors that watch the dampness and change things if needed.
- Two Kinds of Systems: We use things that control dampness naturally, along with electric air systems. The natural stuff deals with small changes, while the air systems take out extra dampness.
- Hidden Away: The air systems are hidden in the case and don't make much noise. They're easy to take care of and watch from somewhere else.
Put together, materials without acid, seals, and air systems make a safe place for old art to stay free from mold and damage.
It Works: 90% Less Mold
Our display cases have had great outcomes. In working with old writings and paintings, we've seen mold go down by 90%.
For example, a big museum with old paintings had mold issues. After getting our cases that don't have acid and control dampness, they saw much less mold. The stable place inside the cases made a difference. This shows how useful our display cases are.
