Mounting

At Love to Frame, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of mounting styles to suit every framing need. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you choose the perfect mounting method to enhance and preserve your artwork, photographs, or memorabilia.

Dry Mounting

Dry mounting is a popular choice for ensuring artwork or photographs lay flat without any wrinkles or creases. This method involves adhering the piece to a sturdy backing board using heat and pressure. It’s ideal for posters, prints, and photographs, providing a smooth, professional finish.

Best For:

  • Posters
  • Photographs
  • Prints

Advantages:

  • Prevents warping and wrinkling
  • Creates a smooth, flat appearance
  • Long-lasting and durable

Float Mounting

Float mounting is a stylish option that gives the appearance of the artwork “floating” within the frame. This method involves mounting the artwork on top of a backing board, rather than being placed behind a mat. It’s an excellent way to showcase the edges of the piece, adding depth and dimension.

Best For:

  • Art on textured or handmade paper
  • Pieces with decorative edges
  • Modern and minimalist designs

Advantages:

  • Highlights the edges of the artwork
  • Adds visual depth
  • Contemporary and elegant presentation

Shadow Box Mounting

Shadow box mounting is perfect for three-dimensional objects or items with significant depth. This method involves creating a deep-set frame that allows for the display of objects such as memorabilia, sports jerseys, or collectibles.

Best For:

  • Sports jerseys
  • Memorabilia and collectibles
  • Sculptures and artifacts

Advantages:

  • Accommodates three-dimensional objects
  • Protects and displays items effectively
  • Adds a unique and personalized touch

Canvas Stretching

Canvas stretching is essential for artworks painted or printed on canvas. This method involves stretching the canvas over a wooden frame, securing it tightly to create a taut, smooth surface. It’s a preferred choice for both original paintings and canvas prints.

Best For:

  • Original canvas paintings
  • Canvas prints
  • Textile art

Advantages:

  • Provides a professional finish
  • Ensures the longevity of the canvas
  • Suitable for gallery-style presentations
