Mounts - tips for new customers

tips for new users:

  • You should never use sellotape or similar to attach your picture behind the window. Likewise masking tape. It is designed only to be temporary – these type of products designed for other applications will quickly damage your picture and not stay stuck for as long as you think. Gum tape is best.
     

  • Fix the picture at its top only (the correct way). This way it will fit and stay flat behind the window of the mount, You should not fix it all the way round.
     

  • If putting it in a frame You should put a “barrier layer” behind the picture to protect it (between the picture and the frame back)
     

  • If you are reselling your pictures you should fit a backing to the mount, the usual method is with double sided tape. This both protects your picture and tidies up the product. Cellophane or a good fitting clear plastic bag are recommended to keep the item clean, vital if it is going into a shop display browser.
    Daylight and strong sunlight (in fact any light) will fade your mounts! Keep this in mind when placing the price stickers etc if putting them in shop windows, and rotate the stock regularly!
     

  • We highly recommend the fine art trade guild web site for full info on mounting pictures. They have all the info you need www.fineart.co.uk
