Mountboard - also known as ‘mat board’ - is a high quality cardboard sheet with facing papers on both sides, used to cut window mounts and as a substrate for mounting artwork.
Sheets are mostly 1200mm x 815mm. The minimum order for mountboard is 10 sheets, mixed. You can also include other sheet materials to meet the 10 sheet minimum and you don't have to order full pack.
Mixed sheet combinations can include: Mountboard, Backing Board, Foam Boards, Acrylic Glazing and Adhesive Boards.
Mountboard is available in four quality levels, as defined by Fine Art Trade Guild. The quality you chose will generally relate to the value of the artwork and the level of protection it needs.
Museum Level 1 Mountboards made from 100% cotton fibre rag which is naturally acid free. Any colouring is pigment and won’t easily fade. Long term protection for the finest art.
Conservation Level 2 Acid-free face papers with pigmented colouring. Pure white core and the backing papers are acid-free. Buffered with CaCO3 to help protect the art. Good for high quality art.
White Core Level 3 Lignin-free face paper, core and backing paper. Bevel starts white and stays white. Great for high quality framing of replaceable artwork.
Cream Core & Black Core Level 4 Lignin-free face and backing papers. Lignin in the core gives it a cream tint which may darken over time. Cost effective for low value framing.
