Conservation-Grade Mounts
A well-cut mount transforms a piece — adding space, focus and a clean professional finish. At Love to Frame, every mount is cut by hand in our Timperley workshop, sized to the millimetre and tailored to the artwork it surrounds.
From single openings to multi-aperture displays, we cut conservation-grade boards in a wide range of colours, textures and depths — built to protect and present your work for the long term.
No order is too small or too large — from a single mount for a treasured print to hundreds of identical boards for a gallery edition, exhibition or commercial fit-out. Planning a larger run? Get in touch with the team and we'll scope the job, agree timings and confirm volume pricing before a single board is cut.

The Machine · Gunnar AIOX
Our mounts are cut on the Gunnar AIOX — a Swiss-engineered computerised mount cutter capable of flawless 45° bevels, multi-aperture layouts and intricate decorative work at scales right up to oversized exhibition boards.
It means every aperture is square to the micron, every bevel is glass-clean, and bespoke designs that would take hours by hand are cut in minutes — without ever leaving the workshop.
