Art collections cover an incredibly broad range of subject matter from watercolour to oil, from wall carvings to etchings, and from prints and maps to sketched drawings. The care of such collections is highly important and handling is restricted as much as possible to reduce the chance of damaging irreplaceable pieces of art.
Storage of artwork can be varied to suit the pieces your collection contains and designed to reduce the frequency of handling, which is when damage is most likely to occur. Because we understand how precious your Art collection is, we’ve gone through a rigorous process of creating prototype storage specifically for the collection of art. We understand that preservation of such valuable pieces is paramount and that where possible handling should be restricted.
However we also know how important it is to have easy access to your collection, so Metalrax Storage have various products to suit your specific needs, from stand alone shelving and display units, to easy access roller drawers that are designed specifically with heavy stone and wall paintings in mind.
Metalrax Storage can design, manufacture and install picture racking on which your paintings and art can be securely fastened and stored. When mounted on mobile tracks, this ensures the collection is easily accessible for viewing purposes yet remains safe and minimizes handling.
Our innovative drawer units are perfect for your public access and visible storage requirements as they allow delicate works of art to be safely preserved whilst still allowing members of the public or faculty to view the collection without touching the piece, therefore significantly reducing the risk of damage.
We can also provide heavy duty pull out shelves for the flat storage of bigger or heavier art such as wall paintings taken from the inside of old churches or buildings.
From initial consultation our Museum Storage experts will work with you to ensure to get the right solution for your requirement at a price that suits your budget. Our professional team will carry out a full audit of your existing collection as well as liaising with your department to ensure we understand the way in which your collection is used and the kind of access you require.
We will provide you with a fully integrated solution that you can adjust to fit your ongoing storage requirements and our friendly team is always on hand to provide you with product training should you require it.
