Mat Boards

  • Mat boards not only enhance the visual appeal of your artwork but also play a crucial role in its protection.

    Without proper matting, your artwork is at risk of:

    • Water Damage: Moisture can compromise the integrity of your artwork.
    • Dust Accumulation: Dust particles can settle and damage your piece.
    • Mold and Mildew: Excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth.
    • Paint Smearing: Contact with glass can cause paint to smear.
    • Photographs Sticking: Photographs can adhere to the glass over time.
    • Physical Damage: Unprotected artwork is susceptible to various forms of physical harm.

    Ensure the longevity and safety of your artwork by using a high-quality mat board.
