Complement your picture with a mount board
This, the most important part of the framing process, not only protects but also complements the image. The mount board serves as a spacer between the glass and the image, which enables the artwork to expand and contract. Omission of a mount board can all too easily render your art work obscure. The mount board not only makes the total picture stand out but gives your eyes a resting place between frame and art work. "A mount board provides a transition between two worlds," it is said. It also prevents the image from touching the glass in the area where condensation occurs, preventing damp patches from forming on the art work, which can cause permanent damage.
The main purpose of a mount board is to complement your picture, not the room in which it is to be displayed. If it has to fit in with your décor, suitable art should be chosen. The mount board is a window for your picture.
There are many ways to complement your art work: Using a "slip" between image and mount board, V-grooves, ovals, creative window openings, using up to four mount boards, all of these, for a better show piece on your wall.
