Frames & mats are an important part of the presentation of an artwork.  Artwork and photographs are simply not complete until they are displayed inside frames & mats.  The types of frames & mats that you choose will have a great impact on the appearance of a piece.  In this way, choosing the right frames & mats becomes an extension of the creative process!

If you are an artist or a photographer and you need a large quantity of frames & mats to get ready for your upcoming gallery show or art fair, you will enjoy the generous discounts that you will receive when you buy frames & mats in bulk from Documounts.  The bulk discounts begin when you buy as little as 4 of the same mats or 3 of the same readymade wood frame (for example), and they go deeper when you buy even more!

The quality of the frames & mats that you choose will have a great impact on not only the appearance of your artwork, but also on the longevity of the artwork.  If you want your artwork to last for generations, then you should preserve and protect your artwork inside high-quality frames & mats.  For conservation purposes, always buy archival mats and mount board to go inside the frames.  Mats such as Alpharag and Crescent Ragmat are museum-quality options that will protect your artwork from environmental pollutants that may get inside the frames.  Mats from the Bainbridge Alphamat Artcare line will also protect your artwork against deterioration, yellowing and fading.

In addition to frames & mats, Documounts also sells all of the supplies that you will need to assemble your artwork safely inside your frames & mats.  From adhesives to wires and other matting and framing tools and supplies, you can buy everything you need to assemble your frames & mats at Documounts!

Documounts sells all of the basic frame supplies that you will need to easily and affordably frame your artwork and photographs.  This article will walk you through some of the basic frame supplies that you can find at Documounts.

Mat boards and mount boards are essential frame supplies for framing artwork on paper.  Before you can even put your artwork in a frame, you need to mount and mat your artwork.

Mounting adhesives are important mat and frame supplies.  These frame supplies are used to securely adhere your artwork to the mat and mount board.  These mat and frame supplies include things like spray adhesive, linen tape, and photo corners.

Glazing is one of the necessary frame supplies that you can’t do without.  The glazing protects the artwork from direct exposure to sunlight and from environmental pollutants.

Frames or frame mouldings are the most important frame supplies, because the frames you choose will be on display as much as your artwork is.  The frame will have a great impact on the overall appearance of the artwork.

Picture hanging wire or hangers are necessary frame supplies for actually putting your artwork up on the wall.  We sell spools of picture hanging wire in various weights, to accommodate for framed artwork of different degrees of heaviness.  Our selection of frame supplies also includes various types of hangers, such as sawtooth hangers and strap hangers.

Documounts also carries many other frame supplies that will help with the assembly of your frames, such as framer’s points, spring clips, and glazier’s push points.  Additionally, our selection of frame supplies also includes useful tools such as putty, touch-up markers, burnishing bones, acrylic spacers, and point drivers.

You will enjoy deep discounts on many of our frame supplies when you buy in bulk.  For instance, mat boards, mounting boards, frames and frame mouldings are available with discount pricing when you buy large quantities.
