Consolidation
Conservation & RestorationA conservation treatment focused on strengthening and stabilizing fragile materials or structures. For example, a crumbling wall painting or decaying wooden beam may be consolidated by impregnating it with a suitable resin or lime-based solution. Consolidation helps prevent further deterioration by binding weakened components together while minimally altering the object’s appearance.
