DISPLAY OPTIONS

The two main options are generally float mounted artwork and the more traditional window mount, although there is an option where l include both techniques. The depth of the moulding also gives the artist other options to create a more 3D effect.

Float mount

Artwork can be attached to a backing board using archival tape, this means the artwork can be removed from the backing board in the future. The overall effect makes the artwork 'float' usually around 2 to 3mm from the mount board. Combined with a box frames this can really enhance your artwork.

Window mounts

A more traditional approach is to window mount an artwork. This enables the artwork to be held flat between the window mount and the backing mount board. 'L' samples of a wide range of mount boards colours are available to view against your artwork.

Window and float mount combination

Combining both a window mount with a flat mount can be a really nice touch to displaying your artwork. In this example it shows off the raw torn edge of the cartridge paper. 

Displaying fabrics and textiles

Creating a box frames allows space inside to mount textiles and 3D objects. This example shows a football top pinned to polyboard and float mounted. The frame depth is 38mm
