Mounting is an important part of the framing process that keeps your artwork from wrinkling and buckling inside the frame as it ages.
Dry mounting is a technique of mounting where a heat-sensitive, acid-free tissue is placed between your artwork and a mounting board, and is then heated to melt the tissue and bond the artwork to the board.
Vacuum mounting is a technique of mounting where the back of your artwork is sprayed with a glue adhesive and placed in a press with the mounting board until the adhesive cures. The vacuum press suctions out all air pockets and wrinkles so that the artwork is smoothly and permanently bonded to the mounting board.
Museum mounting is a technique of mounting where no tapes, glues or adhesives touch your artwork. The artwork floats in acid-free sleeves to preserve and protect the value of collectible artwork. Other mounting methods can reduce the value of museum or collectible art. The artwork can be taken out of the frame, and it will be as though it has never been framed.
