Variety Of Mat-Board Selections
We offer mat-board manufactured by most major suppliers, to provide artwork protection, but also to add depth and interest to the art. Matting is primarily used to separate the artwork from the glass. Since paper expands and contracts with temperature and humidity changes, the mat allows room for art expansion. Mats should also enhance the beauty of the artwork, drawing your eye to the image. Mat-board types include the popular Paper Pulp Mat, available from many companies and manufacturers in a variety of styles and colors. This mat-board is the least expensive of all mats and should only be used on inexpensive artwork such as posters., since many contain traces of acids, which can hurt original or limited edition artwork. Only Rag Mat is 100% museum grade conservation mat-board and should be used for original art and limited edition prints.
