Mounting and Display Board
Picture mounts are used to compliment prints and paintings, whilst providing the artwork with protection. A variety of colours, styles and textures are available. We use both conservational and museum quality mountboard, preserving the most delicate of artwork.

Mountboard made of wood pulp that is buffered with calcium carbonate to slow the damage caused by acid and lignin. Over time, acid and lignin can degrade the mountboard and the artwork. These products are best for non-conservation mounting.

General Presentations
These conservation quality mountboards are made of alpha-cellulose (wood pulp) that has been chemically treated to eliminate the acids and lignins that can degrade the mountboard and the artwork. These products are suitable for minimum levels of conservation framing and as an alternative to non-conservation materials.

Best mountboards are made of cotton fibres, which are naturally acid-free and lignin-free. Cotton is time-tested and naturally free of any chemicals or pollutants that would degrade mountboard or artwork. Cotton is also an annually renewable resource, making it an environmentally friendly option. Cotton rag mountboard is ideal when the highest levels of protection are required.
