picture and photo mounting

What is a picture mount?

Mountboard is a key element in framing. On a practical level it positions and protects, on an artistic level it leads the eye to the picture in the frame. By trying different kinds of mounts - colour combinations, size and positioning you can see the image in many different ways, as illustrated by the examples on this web site.

Our mounts help Art, photos, documents - everything that is valuable to you - to be protected from yellowing and becoming brittle.

Preserve and enhance?

Mounts help to position and enhance the artwork that is inside the wooden or metal frame. It guides the eye towards the artwork and helps give your artwork or photo essential breathing space.

In addition, a mount also prevents the artwork from being damaged by the glass of the frame. It also creates an air trap to prevent any moisture getting inside the frame which can turn into condensation and mildew. Moisture can really damage an artwork so it is important to factor in a mount when framing pieces of art. With our mounts you will have long lasting, clear pictures.

Now you can visit our mounts page and create your own mount.

Multi aperture vs single aperture mounts

Mounts come in a range of different sizes and widths as well as an array of different colours. It is not difficult to find a mount which is perfect for the piece of artwork that you are framing and with the help of our online inspiration you are sure to find the right one in no time.

Single aperture mounts are mounts cut with one hole in the middle. A multi aperture mount is a mount with multiple holes cut out allowing you to display more than one photo inside a single frame. Multi opening mounts are not as popular as single opening mounts but offer a fantastic method of displaying a story on your wall.
