The Product:
This is a Double Cream
Core Mount not Frame. The Surface colour Mount and an under mount
What are the main features
of the Standard Cream Core?
· Soft, easy to bevel cream
core.
· Very cost effective for
all non-conservation framing requirements.
· Neutral pH specification
· 1250-micron thickness
(1.25mm)
This is standard 14-play
matboard that has been buffered, which means the centre and the backing paper
have been treated with calcium to neutralize pH level, with enough left over to
provide an alkaline reserve, to help protect against future acid problems. But,
because buffering delays but does not prevent deterioration, this board is not
suitable for conservation framing and is intended for use of decorative arts
only. These boards have an off-white core cream core that will eventually
darken.

Sizes/Measurements:
Please message us in ebay
with your requirements we will quote you and if you are happy we will add your
size to the pull down menu for you to select.
To obtain your
measurements: -
1. Please measure the width
and length of the picture/photo you intend to mount. This is your internal mount
size. * Please note we cut all our mount openings 2mm smaller all around to
enable you to easily attach your artwork/photo to it.
2. If you already have a
picture frame you intend to insert your picture and mount in, please measure
your frame (the opening at the back, not the glass at the front). This is
your external mount size.
*We can cut openings to
exact size on request.
For example, if you have a
picture which measures 3x3" and a picture frame opening of 5x5" then
you should order size 5x5" to fit 3x3".
We cut on a computer mount
cutter that is calibrated using a calibrated metal ruler, and cut to order.
There will be over-cuts on the back that can be smoothed out.
We accept a tolerance of
0.5mm we check weekly.
Please be aware there are
different types of measuring devises in the home and work, a ruler, a
retractable tape measure, a seamstress tape measure and a lazer measure, these
devises can be out of calibration by up to 3mm.
We are happy to cut to
custom sizes, we would ask you to select the size larger than you require and
send us a message with your order and in eBay after you have ordered with the
exact size you require. We do not accept returns for custom or personalized
orders.
