Where to Buy a Frame, Mounting Board and Mat Board

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Whenever you need to frame your artwork, Documounts is the best place to buy a frame, mounting board and matting board.  The frame, mounting and matting form the basis for the presentation of your artwork.  Documounts carries frames, mats and mounts in a wide range of different styles, types, colors and sizes, so that you can easily design the best combination of matting, frame & mounting to showcase your artwork.

Here are some suggestions that you should consider when deciding which type of mat, frame & mounting board to buy:

If you need a mat, frame & mounting that will protect and preserve your artwork, you should use an archival mat, a wood or metal frame & mounting board that is archival.  UV acrylic glazing will help to further protect your artwork.

If you are displaying open edition prints, then you can select pH neutral mats, any type of frame & mounting cut from pH neutral mount board.

If you are displaying inexpensive posters or photographs, you might want to consider using an economy mat, a simple frame & mounting such as an adhesive mount board.

Do you need to buy more than one frame & mounting boards or mat boards in large quantities?  Documounts offers bulk discounts on frames, mats, and mounts.  For instance, you’ll receive a discount if you buy just 3 or more of the same readymade frame.  Mounting boards and mat boards qualify for the bulk discount when you buy just 4 or more of the same custom cut mounts or mats.  The discounts get even bigger when you buy more!

Documounts also sells of the supplies that you need to assemble your artwork inside a frame, mounting and matting.  In addition to the frame, mounting and matting, you’ll also need glazing, adhesives, and either hanging wire or a hanger.
