Display in a Shaded Area

Direct sunlight is the main cause of UV damage. As such, we recommend choosing a hanging location that is not exposed to direct sunlight. If you must display in a sunny area, consider using UV-protective window film to filter out harmful rays.

Limit Exposure to Artificial Light

Artificial light can also cause damage, so limit exposure by turning off lights when you’re not in the room. Avoiding excessive light from any source is actually ideal.

Rotate your Artworks to Minimise UV

If you have a large collection of canvas, consider rotating pieces periodically to limit exposure to UV rays. Additionally, this will also give you an opportunity to showcase different pieces throughout the year.

Keep your Canvas Clean

Dust and dirt can accumulate and causing issues over time. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently dust regularly. Avoid using any chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.

Store your Art Properly

Make sure you store your pieces in a cool, dry, and dark location. Avoid storing in a basement or attic, where humidity and temperature fluctuations can cause warping over time.
