We offer 4 different types of glass:
- Standard Glass – our low cost, 2 mm thick glass is suitable for most framing jobs. This type of glass does NOT protect your picture from UV rays and therefore we do not recommend it for valuable art exposed to direct sunlight
- Non-Reflective Glass – diffused glass with single side etching. Reduces the glare produced by the reflection of direct sunlight
- Acrylic – clear acrylic is suitable for large images or for use in public areas. Lightweight, shatter-resistant and looks just like glass
- UV (various levels) Glass – conservation clear glass preserves original art, limited edition prints and other valued subjects. UV protection blocks up to 99 of UV rays that would otherwise cause fading and discoloration
Over 250 acid-free different colours and thickness mounts
All of our mounts are cut on an up-to-date, computerized mount cutter. Whether it is square or round openings or even both – we can cut as many as you need on a single mount. All mounts are acid free which guarantees that colours of mounts will not fade or change.

Dry Mounting
Dry mounting is a process in which artwork is permanently adhered to foam core or mount board using an adhesive. Humidity changes and shifting can cause buckling over time. Dry mounting is a great way to prevent this. Wrinkles and rips in artwork can be flattened out during the dry mounting process and can leave a wrinkled piece of art looking brand new in most cases. Dry mounting is permanent so we do not recommend it for original works of art or valuable artwork as this can devalue the art. We will also give you advice whether dry mounting is the right choice for your art.
For all your dry mounting and laminating requirements we have hot glass vacuum press which is an essential at the modern workshop. Using patented heat technology we can dry mount a wide range of presentation materials including card, foam board and wood we are also able to mount and laminate a variety of items including photos, art prints and even delicate fabrics.
