-

För konstverk eller reproduktioner som är större än 105 cm (cirka 41 tum) på någon sida, levereras ramen som ett isärplockat kit. Denna metod säkerställer en trygg leverans och förhindrar skador under transport.

Professionell montering krävs – detta är inte en produkt för självmontering.
Kitet måste monteras och duken spännas av en erfaren professionell inramare med hjälp av trälim (ingår ej), en spänntång för duk och klämmor för att hålla sargen rak medan limmet torkar. Felaktig montering eller ojämn spänning av duken kan orsaka permanenta skador på konstverket och täcks inte av vår garanti.

  • Alla massiva träribbor ingår, exakt tillkapade efter mått.

  • Monteras med de medföljande skruvarna, samt trälim för hörnfogarna, vilket inte ingår och måste anskaffas av din ramverkare.

  • Professionella verktyg krävs och ingår ej: en dukspännare och klämmor för att hålla listerna raka medan limmet torkar.

Viktigt:
Hörnjunctionerna kräver trälim, listerna måste hållas på plats med tvingar tills limmet har torkat helt, och för att spänna duken på den monterade ramen krävs en spänntång för duk. Inget av detta ingår i kitet. Vänligen kontakta en erfaren professionell rammakare innan du beställer denna storlek.
