WHAT IS MOUNTBOARD?

Mount Board is a versatile material, used for crafting, professional presentations and mounting photography. We have a variety of options available, including different shades, core colours and sizes, as well as pre-cut or full board! But what's special about our Pinnacle Mount Board?
Our Pinnacle boards are acid free. Acid free mount board is specially formulated to protect artwork and photographs from degradation over time. It is free from acidic compounds that can cause yellowing and deterioration, making it ideal for archival purposes.

PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITIONS

We stock a variety of different sizes, including 11 500x400mm options that are perfect for PAGB (Photographers Alliance of Great Britain) approved competitions. You can use these to cut any size window you require, or alternatively, you can purchase pre-cut mount board.

Windows are cut with a 45-degree bevel to draw your eye to the photograph.


To accompany these, we also have a selection of 0.7mm thick 
backing boards that finish off your entry perfectly.

HOW TO CUT MOUNT BOARD:

1. Use a sharp utility knife or a mat cutter to trim your mount board to the desired size/shape.
2. Measure and mark your cutting lines carefully before making any cuts.
3. For straight cuts, we recommend using a metal ruler as a guide for extreme precision.

MOUNTING ARTWORK & PHOTOGRAPHS:

1. Prepare your mount board by ensuring it is clean and free from dust/debris.
2. Apply an adhesive to the front or back (depending on how you are mounting) using a brush or roller, ensuring clean and even coverage. Alternatively, you can use double sided tape or an alternative adhesive.
3. Carefully position your artwork or photograph on the mountboard, taking care to avoid any wrinkles or air bubbles. Use a brayer type roller to smooth the image out and ensure a secure bond between the artwork and mount board.
4. Allow sufficient drying time before handling or framing your mounted piece.

  Don't forget to add a backing board to your artwork/photograph.

  We offer regular and self-adhesive backing boards.

CREATING 3D ART & DISPLAYS:

- Use multiple layers of mount board to create depth and dimension in your artwork or displays.
- Experiment with stacking and layering pieces of mount board to achieve the desired effect.
- Consider using foam adhesive or spacers to create distance between layers and add visual interest.

FRAMING & DISPLAYING:

- Use mountboard to add visual interest and highlight key information.
- Experiment with different mounting techniques, such as layering, overlapping and angling,

to create dynamic and eye-catching displays.
Using mount board opens a world of creative possibilities for photographers, artists, and crafters alike. Whether you're mounting PAGB competitions prints, artwork, creating displays, or enhancing presentations, mount boards provide a versatile and reliable solution.

By understanding the various cutting and mounting techniques, you can unleash your creativity and bring your projects to life in stunning detail.
