Mount Your Artwork onto Acid Free Backing
Mounting your artwork on acid free backing is an important part of conservation framing. If you want your artwork to last for generations, then using materials such as acid free backing are an essential part of protecting and preserving your artwork.
Documounts carries two types of acid free backing: Bainbridge foam core and Bainbridge Artcare mounting board. These acid free backing boards are permanently acid free.
Our foam core acid free backing is available in 2 sizes: 1/8” thick and 3/16” thick. The thicker foam core is ideal for mounting larger works of art. Both of these sizes of foam core acid free backing are available for the same price. Foam core is lightweight yet sturdy, so it will not bend, crease, or buckle. The foam core acid free backing will protect your artwork by neutralizing environmental pollutants. The 3/16” foam core is available in white, while the 1/8” foam core is available in both white and black. Black foam core is ideal when you are also using a mat that has a black core.
Bainbridge Artcare mounting board is an acid free backing that is made of 100% alpha cellulose. This museum quality acid free backing is an ideal option when you want to use a paper mount board.
We can expertly custom cut your acid free backing to the exact size that you require. Best of all – you will save money when you buy a lot of acid free backing. If you buy 4 or more of the same sized acid free backing, you’ll receive a bulk discount. When you buy more than that, the price for acid free backing gets even lower!
Documounts also sells all of the supplies that you will need to mount your artwork onto acid free backing. There are several different archival mounting options, such as conservation paper tape, linen mounting tape, mount strips and mounting corners. You can also buy mat board, frames, glazing, and other framing supplies at Documounts!
