Frequently Asked Questions About Picture Mounts
A picture mount (also called a mat or matboard) is a card border placed between your artwork and the glass in a frame. Mounts serve two purposes: aesthetic (creating a visual border that enhances the presentation) and protective (keeping the artwork from touching the glass, preventing moisture damage and sticking). Conservation-quality mounts are acid-free to prevent yellowing of your artwork over time.
We stock picture mounts in all standard frame sizes including: 6x4, 7x5, 8x6, 8x10, 10x8, 10x12, 12x16, 16x20 and more, plus A-sizes (A5, A4, A3, A2, A1) and metric sizes. Custom sizes are available via our online mount builder — specify your frame size and aperture size for a bespoke cut mount.
A single mount has one layer of mountboard with a bevelled aperture cut. A double mount has two layers — an outer mount and an inner mount of a different colour — creating a visible coloured border around the aperture. Double mounts add depth and are popular for fine art and photography framing.
