How to choose picture framing and mount board

Choose the frame and mount together: the mount aperture should overlap the artwork slightly on every side so it holds the work without hiding detail. For valuable or original work, use acid-free or conservation mount board.

• Standard mount board is around 1.4mm thick; thicker board gives a deeper bevel and more shadow.
• Measure the artwork, not the paper, and cut the aperture a few millimetres smaller all round.
• Acrylic glazing is lighter and shatter-resistant; glass is clearer and resists scratches.
• UV-filtering glazing helps reduce fading for works hung near windows.
