The HALBE CONSERVO-DISTANCE magnetic frame is characterised by the distance between the glass and the back wall, matched by optimum conservation conditions. A mix of CONSERVO and DISTANCE, this frame is the perfect option when it comes to picture presentation with top-notch conservation standards. The magnetic spacer strips provide distance to the glass; the Professional base element has a completely closed back wall made of anodised aluminium and certified cardboard from Klug-Conservation. Invisible picture locks provide safety for framed art. The insertion depth for picture and passepartout can easily be changed thanks to loosely inserted materials. Excellent glass types protect art for full enjoyment, while aluminium profiles and wooden strips in timeless colours and shapes leave nothing to be desired in terms of design.
XL formats over 1200 x 1400 mm are also available on request. The construction of the magnetic frame allows for dust-proof framing, and the frames are custom-made to meet your demands. Like every HALBE magnetic frame, the CONSERVO-DISTANCE is equipped with the proven magnetic frame principle for fast and easy framing. In cooperation with leading European museums, it was designed as a logical continuation of the proven CONSERVO magnetic frame. Conservators recommend CONSERVO picture frames to protect valuable works at museums or for private collections. While the CONSERVO magnetic frame is suitable for flat paper work, the CONSERVO-DISTANCE is ideal for sculptural work and freely mounted pictures – in other words, whenever distance is required.
Conservo-Distance Magnetic frame
Keep safe. Keep distance.
KEEPING THE DISTANCE
Every CONSERVO-DISTANCE frame has 5 mm high distance strip for a distance between glass and artwork – ideal for conservation and mounting pictures. It is available in various colours and is magnetically removable. Mounting cardboard or passepartout can be easily and securely fixed, and the glass is held firmly in place. Depending on the type of profile and use, a distance strip with 10 mm height is also possible on request.
Upgraded base element
The rear wall of the CONSERVO-DISTANCE consists of a full-surface anodised aluminium sheet offering a definite plus in stability and flatness. Loose corrugated cardboard or museum cardboard by Klug-Conservation is simply placed on top. Advantage: You’ll save space inside the frame, while the cardboard can be exchanged and the insertion depth varied independently. This creates a noticeable flexibility for changing exhibition requirements.
Magnetic spacer strips
The magnetic removable spacer strips are placed laterally in the base element and fit exactly in the four corners. Recesses in the sheet metal angle compound simplify a removal with two fingers – for practical and safe handling. Finally, the glass is placed on top and fits precisely due to the protruding edges of the sheet metal angle compound.
Clever construction
The recesses make it safe and easy to remove the inserted materials. In this case the CONSERVO-DISTANCE frame holds the corrugated cardboard, a museum carton with floating picture installation, the 5-mm high magnetic distance strips and the glass. The base element with a continuous rear aluminium wall is like a tub where all materials are held together tightly and evenly.

- Straight hanging holes for adjustment by sliding to the side
- Additional tilted hanging holes to make up for tilted nails / hooks
- Finely adjustable wall spacers to make up for uneven walls
- Fixing holders on stainless-steel rope, specially optimized for HALBE. Compatible for rope hanging
- Plasticiser-free felt pads to prevent wall damage
- Corrosion-protected metal
100% CONSERVATIONAL
The HALBE Conservo-Distance magnetic frame is ideal for particularly valuable and delicated light three-dimensional works such as documents with relief seals, corrugated paper, textured collages, or even floating installations of prints, photographs and sketches. Compared to the proven CONSERVO magnetic frame the CONSERVO-DISTANCE also has a closed rear metal wall made of anodized aluminium and magnetically removable spacer strips to the glass.
INVISIBLY SAFE
The optional BS 1 R picture safety device is operated from the back side of the CONSERVO-DISTANCE. Hanging on the wall, it is neither visible nor can it be opened. Flat glass panes can easily be bolted into the frame and locked with a tool to prevent it from opening. In combination with the additional BS 4 lock the framed picture on the wall is also secured against theft – invisible and usable regardless of vertical or horizontal formats.
QUALITY Characteristics
PRODUCT-HIGHLIGHTS
EVEN AND STABILE
The base element with integrated aluminium sheet as a full-surface layer provides optimum flatness – even with the insertion of only thinner installation carton or folding passepartouts instead of standard KLUG corrugated cardboard. In the base element all cartons are loosely inserted in the metal frame and can easily be replaced. The insertion depth can therefore be adjusted any time. To meet your requirements, you can of course precisely define the insertion depth during the configuration. We provide the suitable cardboard thickness.
Magnetic to keep distance
The 5 mm high aluminium spacer strips can be magnetically removed and create a protective distance between the picture and the glass – a popular option for professional picture framing in terms of both conservation and design. The CONSERVO-DISTANCE always comes with the 5 mm spacer strips; the profile variants Alu 18 and Wood 22 even with 10 mm high spacer strips.

best TYPES OF GLASS
Anyone who appreciates the properties of the CONSERVO-DISTANCE frame will not want to make any significant cutbacks in glass quality. The three premium variants of the Schott anti-reflection Mirogard glass and the Optium Museum Acrylic by Tru Vue are our primary recommendations for the CONSERVO-DISTANCE. The Röhm White Glass or PLEXIGLAS® types are economical and equipped with good properties. Click here for all types of glass.

Fit for every wall
The back wall provides variously shaped holes opposite each other for easy hanging at one or two points: Decide for yourself whether you want to use the tilted hanging holes as a levelling aid or the exactly horizontal suspension holes. While the first option levels out crookedly mounted hooks, the other enables the frame to be moved horizontally. (Photo: Back side, CONSERVO on the left, CONSERVO-DISTANCE on the right)
Invisible picture lock
Optionally, you can connect the frame firmly with the wall (BS 4) and protect it against unauthorized opening (BS 1 R). The optional BS 1 R picture lock prevents the frame from being opened magnetically. With the BS 1 R picture lock, the glass is only accessible from the back side. Generally the frame is also fixed with a BS 4 picture lock to make opening or removing the frame impossible.
