Picture mountboard is used for both practical and aesthetic reasons. It can make your picture look more impressive, whilst keeping the glass from touching your work, which is a very important part of picture framing.
Floren has a full range of picture mountboard from Arqadia and D&J Simons as a part of our bespoke picture framing service. Chevron corners are available for you to view and test against your artwork in our framing workshop or gallery.

Mounts also come in different thicknesses. The thicker the mount is, the deeper the bevel and the more dramatic the piece will look.
Your artwork can be framed with a single, double or even multiple mounts. By using multiple mounts, colours in your artwork can be brought out to enhance and sharpen the image. The mount can also help lead the eye from the frame to the image and make the image the focal point.
Our framers offer expert advice on what colours and style of mounting would make the most of your artwork.
