Fish and chips, salt and pepper, cheese and wine – some things just go together. And here\u2019s another winning combination for you: picture mount and picture frame!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a <\/span>picture mount<\/span><\/a>, you can add an extra element of style to your frame. Not to mention a much-needed layer of protection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Read on to discover why they are so important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is A Picture Mount?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In simple terms, a picture mount refers to a special layer of material that surrounds your photo or picture. They can be made from cotton fibre, wood pulp, foam or paper. Your choice of material should be influenced by the value of your piece and how long you wish to preserve it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These days, many people favour acid-free mounts to ensure that what they select doesn\u2019t damage their picture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Picture Mounts Do\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Picture mounts serve two purposes. The first of these is protection from the glass in the frame. Without a mount, the glass can stick to the picture. The lack of a barrier can also let dust and condensation into contact with the artwork.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, mounts can be used to heighten the visual appeal of both a frame and its picture. Colour choice is important here for making the artwork stand out.
