Picture mount is used for both functional and aesthetic purposes. They make your picture look more impressive, whilst keeping the glass from touching your work, a very important part of picture framing.

The Frame Workshop only uses acid-free mountboard, we feel your job deserves acid-free mountboard. This term means the damaging acid content in the paper or board has been neutralised and will no longer be a serious threat, and helps reduce discolouration, which over time will damage and de-value artwork


Your artwork can be framed in a single, double or multiple mount's. With more than one mount, colours in your artwork can be brought out to enhance and sharpen the image. These colours help lead the eye from the frame to the image and make the image the focal point.

 

The size of the picture mount is personal preference, a larger mount will give the print more space to breathe and therefore be more prominent. Traditionally prints are mounted with the sides and top equal and the bottom slightly larger. As I have said size choice is personal but large mounts tend to look better in neutral colours whereas dark colours may overpower the picture. Mount size also makes pictures much larger so this may be a cosideration, also room decor can have a strong influence on your choice.

 

Nowadays a popular form of mounting is float mounting, great where the whole of the print needs to be shown, see example below.
