Mountboard

First and foremost in both the preservation and the presentation of your work of art is the mount board you are likely to use, not only to create a gap between the art and the glass but also to protect and enhance it. We have chosen our range of mount boards for it's exciting and comprehensive choice of colours, as well as it's inherent ability to actively protect from pollutants whilst being fade, bleed and age resistant. Welcome to Alphamat Artcare - Simply the best. Let us explain:

Using Artcare mount boards in your framing will help you protect your framed images from deteriorating. Prints, posters, watercolours, photographs and newsprint can all resist yellowing and ageing with the use of Artcare mount boards.

In fact, Artcare is so effective it is regularly used for museum and other important collections as well as everyday framing. Artcare boards have a range of features to actively protect your framed images.

  • Fade Resistant - Artcare boards use 100% pigmented surface papers so the colours of mount you choose do not fade away as other mount boards can.

  • Bleed Resistant - Artcare board colours are stable and cannot bleed onto your images even in very humid conditions.

  • Age Resistant - Artcare's molecular traps and buffers built into the paper structure neutralise the harmful pollutants that cause ageing and damage to prints, pictures, watercolours, photographs in fact all types of art media and even newsprint.

  • Artcare Filter - Artcare traps and neutralises air-borne acids and free acids, acting as a filter to protect the image.

Most mount boards being sold in the UK today, including so called 'conservation' boards, still contain highly damaging levels of acid (lignin), because they use cheaper recycled pulp in all or parts of the board.
Artcare mounts will not only offer you unrivalled protection of your picture but also offer you an important design accessory in presenting your framed image in your home or workplace.

  • Mounts provide space around the image to give it balance in the frame.

  • The colour of the mount can be chosen to compliment, contrast or highlight particular colours in the image.

  • The colours in the room design in which the picture will hang can be complimented in the mount colours.

  • Multiple mounts, creative mount cuts and colour core mounts can be used to add design flourish.

  • Artcare bevel accents can be added to give a look of refinement and opulence to the overall design.

The Choice is Yours!
