Framers Love...
...our cut-to-size fluted polypropylene backer board, an affordable alternative to Coroplast. It is a 100% archival, acid-free, neutral-PH polypropylene with no dies or additives. We have it made just for us in 4mm, 6mm and 8mm thicknesses.
In addition to cut-to-size, we also sell full sheets by the carton.

New Colors?
Are there powdercoat colors you wish we offered? Do you get a lot of requests for colors that we don't have?
We're considering expanding our offering. What's missing from our standard line?

Carpet Easel -
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
We recently worked with Vizcaya Museum & Gardens to make a display/storage fixture for the 27 foot long by 8 foot wide "Admiral Carpet". The carpet is now on display in the Living Room at Vizcaya, with about 16 feet exposed and supported by our lightweight and rigid aluminum honeycomb panels. The remaining length of carpet is rolled and stored in the pedestal below.

New for AIC
Wendy and Mike will be attending the 41st American Institute of Conservation Annual Meeting at the end of May in Indianapolis. Please stop by booth #6 and see us.
We've been working on expanding our line of silica gel and humidity-regulating products, and we'll have some new toys to show off. Please pay us a visit to see some of the new products we're distributing.
We can show you the latest Lascar Electronics wireless datalogger, which we'll have installed in a case,
as well as a mini USB version that we can hide inside a decorative aluminum sleeve.
We'll also be demonstrating
Preservatech's Active Microclimate Generator.
This product regulates the humidity in your case without the need for water and the associated filling and emptying of reservoirs. Stop by Booth 6 and learn how it works!

LED Lighting in Museum Environments
Van, Hoyt and Mike recently attended a seminar on LED lighting for museums at the Lunder Conservation Center in Washington DC. It seems that despite some fears and concerns, LEDs are not only acceptable for museum use, they are preferred. You can learn more, including downloading the summary report from the AIC committee, and viewing the archived presentations on YouTube
Did you know SmallCorp makes LED spotlights and lightbars? All our products are dimmable to low light levels suitable for museums. We also offer color-adjustable LEDs offering the full spectrum between 3000 and 6000 K. Give us a call to discuss.
