The HALBE Conservo Magnetrahmen offers perfect conservational conditions. It is equipped with certified corrugated board by KLUG. The board passed the PAT test and is free of acids and chemical substances. In addition the dustproof construction still allows for the air to circulate to let the picture "breathe". Restaurators recommend this frame to protect valuable works of paper in museums or private collections. Pictures can be framed and exchanged within seconds on the display – without shifting or tools. This is made possible thanks to the HALBE principle of magnetic opening and closing.
The right distance to the wall is finetuned by wall spacers – with plasticiser-free felt pads. The frame is available in a wide range of colours, in aluminum or solid wood. 40 standard formats can be delivered on short notice. On request, we offer custom-made formats down to the millimetre (up to 1400 x 2500 mm). Optional are HALBE picture safety devices to prevent any unauthorized opening or removal. The HALBE Conservo was awarded with the Red Dot Design Award for exceptional design quality and received a Special Mention at the German Design Awards.
Conservo Magnetic Frame
For museums, restaurators and more
Precision in every detail
The flush 45 degree mitre is almost invisible. The unmatched precision of the Halbe Conservo Frame is achieved by careful handmade craftmanship.
Thought out design
One advantage of the HALBE Conservo is that the certified KLUG corrugated board can be loosely placed into the frame – unlike a rigid foam board. For maximum ageing resistance it is free of acids, solvents and plasticisers.
Durable and stable
Embossed steel angles connect the robust aluminum profile frame in all four corners. Due to the high quality materials and neat workmanship the HALBE Conservo lasts for decades despite frequent exchanging, e. g. for exhibitions.
Fit for every wall
To securely hang the frame at one or two points the back has hanging holes on each side. Tilted hanging holes serve as an additional leveling tool to level the frame horizontally even if the nails are tilted.
- Insertion depth selectable without additional charge
- Large insertion depth allows for exchanging corrugated cardboard for loose sandwich layering
- Choose between glass directly on the picture or separated by a passe-partout or insert frame
- Glas type and UV protection on request
- Cut glass edges to avoid cutting or chipping
- Integrated holes for hanging at one or two points

Forever safe
The Halbe Conservo Magnetic Frame is suitable for valuable, delicate drawings, prints, documents, flat collages or other works of paper. The various options in terms of material, colour, glass and size make it highly adaptable to its surrounding or single work – for institutional or private collections.
Timeless design
The HALBE Classic Magnetic Frame is available in aluminum or solid wood. For the aluminum version there are five profiles and a wide range of colours to choose from. In the solid wood version, the frame is available in four strip cross sections with rectangular shape as well as in eight different colours.




QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS
Product-Highlights
Steel fortifies wood
Wooden top frames are glued in the corners. They are additionally strengthened with corner angles made of steel to achieve high stability even with delicate Wood 10 frames.
Flatness and insertion depth
Even contact pressure on the glass ensures proper flatness of flat pictures. Insert the glass directly on the paper or on a passe-partout or insert frame to add more distance to the picture. The insertion depth from 0 to 16 millimetres is available without additional charge. If the profile allows, you can also combine it with the Halbe D5 insert frame.

Glasses and UV protection
The frame can be equipped with all types of glass. Use Mirogard Plus for optimum UV protection of the front. Mirogard Protect glass offers additional protection. This 2-pane safety glass cannot splinter and protects the work against mechanical damage. The edges of the glass are always cut to avoid cutting injuries or chipping. Optium Museum Acrylic meets even highest demands.

Keeping artwork theft-proof
The frame can be connected securely with the wall and protected against unauthorized opening. Also it can be combined with HALBE picture safety devices. The Conservo is available with the BS 1 which is invisible on the display side.
Outstanding design
In 2013 the timeless Halbe Conservo magnetic frame was awarded with the renowned Red Dot Design Award.

Conservo magnetic frame as Distance
The "upgrade" of the CONSERVO is the new CONSERVO-DISTANCE magnetic frame. Compared to the CONSERVO magnetic frame, it is equipped with a full-surface eloxated aluminum wall and magnetic spacer strips in 5 or 10 mm height, thus offering the additional advantages of the DISTANCE magnetic frame. In addition, the aluminium rear wall offers extra stability and flatness even for KLUG corrugated cardboards, museum cartons or folding passe-partouts. All other properties of the CONSERVO magnetic frame are of course retained. The invisible BS 1 R image protection is also available as an option.
