For kunstverk eller reproduksjoner som er større enn 105 cm (ca. 41 tommer) på noen side, vil rammen bli sendt som et sett som må monteres. Denne metoden sikrer trygg levering og forhindrer skader under transport.

Krever profesjonell montering – dette er ikke et DIY-produkt.
Settet må monteres og lerretet strammes av en erfaren profesjonell rammelegger, ved bruk av trelim (følger ikke med), en lerretstang og klemmer for å holde rammelisten vinkelrett mens limet tørker. Feilaktig montering eller ujevn stramming av lerretet kan påføre kunstverket permanente skader og er ikke dekket av vår garanti.

  • Alle massive trelister er inkludert, presist tilpasset i størrelse.

  • Monteres med de medfølgende skruene, samt trelim til hjørnene, som ikke er inkludert og må anskaffes av din rammehandler.

  • Profesjonelt verktøy er nødvendig og er ikke inkludert: en lerretstang (strammer) og klemmer for å holde rammene vinkelrette mens limet tørker.

Viktig:
Hjørnene krever trelim, listene må holdes på plass med tvinger til limet er helt tørt, og stramming av lerretet på den ferdige rammen krever en lerretstang. Ingen av disse produktene er inkludert i settet. Vennligst sørg for tilgang til en erfaren profesjonell rammehandler før du bestiller denne størrelsen.
