Looking to add a touch of sophistication and protection to your precious pictures, artwork, photos, and certificates? Our high-quality conservation-grade mounts are just what you need. Available in various sizes, colours, and depths, our mounts provide the perfect finishing touch for any framed piece.
More than just a pretty border, mounts offer a triple range of benefits: enhanced protection, professional presentation, and effortless size adjustment. Our mounts serve as the final touch, adding a professional finish to your frame and elevating the presentation of your artwork.
To help you make an informed decision, we have put together a guide that delves into the importance of choosing the right picture mount, explores the various options available, and provides valuable tips. Whether you're a seasoned art collector or framing your very first range, we're here to assist you every step of the way.
The Benefits of Using Mounts:
- Professional Finish: Mounts add a polished and elegant look to your framed pieces, making them stand out and appear more valuable.
- Protection: They create a gap between the artwork and the glass, preventing scratches, dust, the image adhering to the glass or styrene and moisture damage.
- Size Adjustment: If your artwork doesn't fit perfectly into a standard frame size, mounts allow you to adjust it without compromising the aesthetics.
- Structural Support: Mounts provide structural support to your artwork, reducing the risk of warping or bending, especially for delicate or lightweight pieces.
- Enhanced Presentation: The right mount, colour and depth can complement your artwork and draw the viewer's eye in.
What We Offer:
- Standard and Deep Mounts: Choose from 1.4mm standard depth or 2.4mm deeper mounts in white and ivory for an even more prominent look.
- Single and Double Mounts: Single mounts have one layer, while double mounts feature two layers creating more depth and texture, ideal for giving more prominence or creating a unique composition.
- Wide Range of Colours: Express your style with our diverse selection of colours, including classic Bright White, Fabric White, Ivory, Soapstone, Black, Mid Grey, Light Grey, Beige, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Midnight Blue, Light Green, Dark Green, Dark Brown, and Maroon.
- Custom Cutting: Our expert team uses specialised equipment to cut mounts to any size you need, ensuring a perfect fit for your artwork.
Selecting your Picture Mount
- Harmonise with Artistic Style: Coordinate the colour and depth of your mount with the theme and palette of your artwork, enhancing visual coherence and impact.
- Consider Presentation Aesthetics: Tailor your choice of mount to achieve your desired aesthetic, whether it be contemporary and minimalist or classic and ornate.
- Precision Measurement: Take accurate measurements of your artwork to ensure a snug and secure fit within the mount, preserving its integrity and visual appeal.
Considerations for Longevity
- Archival Quality: Our mounts are acid-free and lignin-free to ensure the long-term preservation of your artwork. Archival-quality materials prevent yellowing, discolouration, and deterioration of your framed pieces over time.
- Thickness and Rigidity: Consider the thickness and rigidity of the mount, especially for larger or heavier artworks. Thicker mounts provide additional support and stability, reducing the risk of sagging or bending over time.
- Conservation Standards: If you have valuable or irreplaceable artwork, our mounts meet conservation standards set by professional framing organisations. These standards ensure that the materials used are of the highest quality and provide maximum protection for your artwork.
- Budget Considerations: While quality should always be a priority, consider your budget when selecting mount boards. There are a variety of options available at different price points, allowing you to find the perfect balance between quality and affordability for your framing project.
- White Core: Our mounts are white core which means you don’t get a yellowy core line around your artwork which you often see on other mounts which detract from your artwork.
