The basic functions of a mount are twofold;

• The mount helps protect your artwork or print by providing a gap between the frame glass and the surface of your picture.

• The mount will greatly enhance the appearance of your framed picture and offers a professional presentation. A mount can also crop a picture which does not match a standard frame size.
   

Hints and Tips for selecting mounts:

• Remember, the colours you select should enhance your picture. If your image has very predominant colours or enough of a particular colour, a plain cream or white mount will compliment it best.

• When using a double mount, a darker inner and paler outer mount will give a greater impression of depth - ideal with a distant landscape picture, for example.

• Remember, 'wider is better' - If your mount is too narrow, the eye is drawn to the outside instead of being drawn to the centre where it needs to be. As a guide, an 8in x 10in mount should not be less than 1.75in wide.You can select a single or double mount which can be of the same colour or differ depending on your desired effect. Double mounts add a perception of depth to a presentation.
   

When you look at a framed picture, the first thing you should notice is the picture, the mounts are there to enhance your artwork.
