MOUNTING
Correct archival mounting practices are essential for ensuring the longevity and preservation of artworks. Mounting can protect artwork from environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and UV rays.
If you're looking to present photographic prints, posters, or artwork, mounting can be a great alternative or addition to framing. We offer a range of mounting materials that provide different effects, archival qualities, and uses. Additionally, we have facilities that can accommodate large-scale works.

DRY mountING
Dry mounting is a process whereby an artwork is mounted to a backing substrate filmed with a PH neutral pressure sensitive mounting film.
We use a variety of mounting materials and techniques, all of which create different results to suit different needs.
We offer a range of mounting materials that offer different effects, archival qualities and uses, and are facilities to mount large scale works.
We recommend Aluminum and Aluminum composite as archival methods of mounting photographic prints. Alternatives to this are Gatorboard, Foamcore, archival mat board and other substrates.
Block mountING
Block mounting is a cost effective solution suitable for posters and photographic prints ready for display.
The process allows for a clean and minimal presentation of your images.
Block mounts may also be framed to further preserve and protect your images.

Face mountING
For Duraclear prints, photographic works and posters with a gloss finish, face mounting is a premium archival mounting solution that is ideal for vibrant colours.
The face mounting process involves the work being mounted to an acrylic or glass surface and backed with an aluminium composite substrate. To adhere we use an optically clear adhesive film for results with great depth, colour saturation and brightness.
