Always at a distance
As standard, CONSERVO-DISTANCE has 5 mm high spacer strips to preserve the distance between the glass and the framed work of art. The strips are ideal for conservational and picture mounting purposes, available in different colours and can be removed magnetically. Background board or mount can be fixed easily and securely in place, and the glass is held firmly, too. Depending on profile version and type of use, a 10 mm high spacer strip is also available on request.
Base element with upgrade
The back wall of the CONSERVO-DISTANCE frame is a full-surface, PAT-tested sheet of anodised aluminium. This offers significantly more stability and flatness, and is the base for loose-fitting corrugated board or KLUG-CONSERVATION museum cardboard. The advantages here: space is saved inside the frame, and the board can be replaced as desired to increase or decrease the insertion depth – resulting in more flexibility and adaptability to changes in exhibition requirements.
Magnetic spacers
The magnetically removable spacer strips are fixed at the sides of the base element and fit exactly in all four corners. Cut-outs at the corners ensure easy, convenient and reliable removal with only two fingers. The glass is then laid on top and positioned precisely and securely by the protruding edges of the metal brackets.
Well thought out design
The cut-outs mean that the inserted materials can be removed easily, safely and comfortably at a later date is. In this case, the CONSERVO-DISTANCE frame is filled with a corrugated board, museum cardboard with floating picture mounting, 5 mm high magnetic spacer strips and the glass. The base element with its continuous aluminium back wall forms a “trough” which holds all materials flat, level and firmly in position.
- Larger insertion depth of up to 4 mm under the removable distance strips available, even up to 11 mm for Alu 18 and Wood 22 profiles (adjustment at no extra charge)
- Exchanging the loose corrugated cardboard allows for flexible insertion depth even later on
- Can also be used without the standard distance strips and filled with cardboard
- Various glass types with anti-reflection coating and for UV and splinter protection
- Cut edges to avoid cutting and chipping
- Integrated holes for hanging at one or two points
- 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 Groglass anti-reflection Artglass 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.

Ready to hang on any wall
The back of the frame features two different types of hanging holes on opposite sides, so it can be hung easily at one or two points. You can choose whether to use the angled holes to adjust the frame until it hangs level, or the holes in a straight vertical line. The first option makes allowances for hooks or nails that are not directly in line, while the second allows you to move the frame horizontally.

Invisible picture security
As an option, the frame can be attached firmly to the wall (BS 4) and secured against unauthorised opening (BS 1 R). The optional picture lock BS 1 R (R for Riegel = bolt) prevents the frame from being opened without tools. The glass of BS 1 R is only accessible from the back. In general, the frame is also fixed securely to the wall with BS 4, so it can neither be opened nor taken down.
