PRINT MOUNTING….
Our "Gallery Collection" is a new mounting process designed to enhance and protect any type of photograph. This quality alternative to conventional custom framing provides a distinctive new look that is durable, versatile and affordable.
The Process
Your print is professionally mounted to superior quality substrate, then a non-glare, UV protective vinyl is laminated over the print. The edges of the substrate are then beveled, sanded and finished with your choice of edge colors. Your print comes ready to hang.
The Advantages
The Gallery Collection Mount offers a sophisticated look in a quality product at reasonable prices. There is no breakable glass. It is safe for kids' rooms, work areas, schools and public areas. The non-glare surface makes images clearer to see and easier to read from any angle. The 80% UV protective laminate reduces the sun's yellowing raysmaking it ideal for sunlit rooms, lobbies and offices. The surface is completely washable with regular household non-ammonia glass cleaner. Please call customer service for size and pricing.
BLACK STYRENE
Styrene sheets are an excellent alternative to traditional cardboard mounts. Styrene mounts have no natural fibers in them. They are not affected by
variations in moisture content in the environment. They will remain stable (flat, and warp free) even when they are subjected to large changes in
humidity. They are also less prone to edge and corner damage than cardboard mounts. Styrene is often used as a backer board for traditional framing, Our black styrene is .080î thick and comes in many standard sizes.
STAND OUT
The Stand-Out is 3/4″ thick and is made of lightweight, dense Gatorfoam with a high quality, black display banding around the edges. The mounts are precoated with our ultra smooth CM1 adhesive. Stand-Outs have a moisture barrier on the back that will prevent future warping of the mount. All Stand-Outs have pre-drilled holes for mounting the boards flush to the wall with the use of push pins or Velcro strips to give a clean, high-tech appearance. Stand Outs come in many standard sizes.
CODA FOAM
Coda-Foam is a proprietary foam-centered board that is coated on both sides with a tough snow white plastic shell. Stiffer than standard foam core, it is completely sealed and cannot absorb moisture. Changes in humidity will not cause Coda-Foam to warp. Coda Foam is 1/4î thick and comes in many standard sizes.
CANVAS GALLERY WRAPS
