(PPFA CLASS II)
Peterboro CSC (Conservation Solid Core) matboards combine the aesthetic and tactile qualities of Museum boards with a more accessible price point. When cut, the bevel reveals a uniform color throughout, replicating the appearance of 100% cotton matboards. Available in both 4-ply and 8-ply, including select oversize options, CSC offers framers a versatile conservation-grade solution that meets PPFA Class II standards for conservation framing.
The collection is crafted by laminating layers of pigmented alpha cellulose and buffering with calcium carbonate for stability and longevity. The dramatic depth of the 8-ply bevel in select references provides a bold, gallery-worthy presentation favored by professional framers.
