Bringing pictures from UK

[Pioneer]

No doubt a question that has been asked a zillion times already, but as we get closer to our moving date, I have read various peoples concerns about bringing pictures in Singapore because of the humitdy.

We have a number of resonably priced (S$2000+) limited signed prints from UK artists that are mounted and framed behind glass. We are somewhat attached to them and I am worried that we may end up unintentionally damaging them due to the humidity.

Does anyone have a view / opinion on it.

Cheers

Here are some things you can do to keep them mold-free:

Hang them in a room with air conditioning and use it. Run the air/con a few hours a day.

Don't hang them on a wall under a wall-mounted a/c unit. They all leak.

Buy the heavy felt discs, usually used to put under furniture legs to prevent scratching the floor. Apply these to the back of your artwork, 4 in each corner or more. Your goal is to create enough space so that air can flow behind.

Hope this helps, good luck with your move.

What else can we add? Everything has been said...

Thanks for the advice, I now feel a bit more confident in bringing them over, just hope the walls in the condo will take the weight

Are you kidding? They'll be 8 inch thick poured concrete! I hope you have a masonary drill bit or you're going to need a handy man...

Great, no point getting a handyman in as my wife is convinced she got one as part of the marriage deal
