Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a mount overlap my artwork?

To ensure your artwork does not just fall through the front of the mount's opening, we will cut your mount slightly smaller than the size you enter. A mount will overlap your artwork by 4mm on each side. This means that in total, the mount size will be 8mm smaller on both the width and the height.

What is barrier board?

A barrier board is a sheet of acid neutral board that will sit behind your artwork inside the frame. It helps to keep your artwork flat within the frame to avoid any ripples or creases. It can also improve the lifespan and reduce fading of your artwork over very long periods of time.

Can i order a multi-aperture frame / mount?

Yes, however its not something that can be purchased via the website. The best thing to do is to draw out a diagram on paper showing how you would like your mount to be laid out, including all the sizes, then scan it in or take a photo of it to send to [email protected] and we'll get back to you with a quote usually within a few hours.
