Concealed, eccentric closures at the back of the picture frame allow it to be closed hermetically by hand with a light quarter-turn. This presses the glass evenly against the sealing gasket, making it air- and dust-tight. At the same time, it prevents unauthorised opening of the frame, which is not possible without a special tool.
Inner balance
The silica gel Pro Sorb in the HALBE PROTECT frame can absorb or release moisture very rapidly, so harmful temperature-related fluctuations in humidity are drastically reduced. The acid-free, ageing-resistant corrugated board used has a high water retention capacity, and its corrugated structure allows optimum air circulation.
Controlled climate
We recommend the Sensirion SHT4X data logger with Bluetooth readout function for monitoring humidity. The rear panel of all PROTECT units is prepared as standard for the optional mounting of the data logger.
Fit for every wall
To securely hang the frame at one or two points the rear panel has straight and tilted hanging holes on each side to help leverage. Like this, the frame can easily be shifted into a horizontal position even if the nails are tilted. The natural felt without plasticizer avoids discoloration by a slight distance to the wall.
Diffusion barrier on the back made of anodized aluminum
Special key to prevent unauthorized opening
Second inner tank avoids contact between work of art and seal
Dustproof and airtight
Fixed insertion depth of 8 or 9 millimetres depending on the glass thickness
Choose between glass directly on the picture or separated by a passe-partout
Optionally 5 millimetres distance between glass and object with the HALBE D5 insert frame
Glass type and UV protection on request
Cut glass edges to avoid cutting or chipping
Integrated holes for hanging at one or two pointsIntegrated holes for hanging at one or two points
Straight hanging holes for adjustment by sliding to the side
Simple framing from the front
Thanks to magnetic tapes the top frame can be removed and placed in just a few seconds. The work of paper is inserted on the display side to ensure exact positioning without shifting.
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 to add more distance to the picture. The fixed insertion depth of 8 millimetres can be minimised if you put an extra layer of paper underneath the picture when framing. Optionally, it is possible to create a distance between glass and object with the Halbe D5 insert frame.

Product-Highlights
Forever safe
The HALBE Protect magnetic frame provides consistent climate during exhibitions, relocations with changing or unpredictable humidity as well as in rooms that are not air-controlled. By meeting the special demands for conservation framing it is ideal for valuable and delicate drawings, prints, documents, flat collages and other works of paper.
Theftproof art
The frame can be securely fixed to the wall and protected against unauthorized removal. For that, it should be combined with the HALBE BS 4 (Protect) picture safety device.

Timeless design
The HALBE Protect magnetic frame is available in two profiles – Alu 18 or Wood 22. For both, we offer 40 standard formats or special sizes of up to 1200 x 1400 millimetres. There is a wide range of colours to match the frame optically to the work of art and surroundings. The various options in terms of material, colour, glass and size make it perfectly adaptable to its environment or single work – for institutional or private collections.
Glasses and UV protection
The HALBE Protect frame can be equipped with all types of glass. Artglass AR 92 with optical-interference anti-reflection and splinter-free Artglass AR 99 are particularly suitable for additional UV protection and to prevent mechanical damages, while Optium Museum Acrylic combines all positive features of the glass to meet even highest conservation requirements. All glass edges are cut to minimise the risk of injury.

Precision in the details
The flush-fitting 45-degree mitre is virtually invisible. HALBE PROTECT frame’s unrivalled precision is the result of painstaking craftsmanship.
Durable and robust
Embossed steel angles connect the robust aluminum profile frame in all four corners. Due to the high quality materials and neat workmanship the HALBE PROTECT lasts for decades despite frequent exchanging, e. g. for exhibitions.
Protects passively
PROTECT provides passive protection against a change in relative humidity inside the frame, regardless of the humidity outside, and guarantees a stable microclimate for the framed artwork. Large fluctuations in ambient relative humidity (grey) are stabilised by passive buffer materials inside the frame (blue) in a range that is uncritical for the paper.
