4-Ply Mat Colors

Each mat color offers conservation-level art protection throughout its surface, core and backing.

8-Ply Mats

The mat opening is cut on an angle, creating a beveled edge around the inside. The thickness of the mat board, or ply, determines the size of that beveled edge. Standard mats are 4-ply, and we offer a thicker, 8-ply mat in select colors for a more refined and elevated look.

Float Types

To reveal the edges of your artwork, you can float it on top of the mat. Change the Float Margin to adjust the amount of matting shown on each side. The artwork will be pressed between the glaze and the matting (hence the "sandwich").

If you are framing at home, the matting will arrive with pre-configured, double-sided tape strips to help you position the art.

Spacers inside the frame create a 1/4" air gap between the matting and glaze, and your artwork floats 1/8" above the mat on an archival foamboard lift. This creates a dramatic shadow around the edges and creates the illusion that your artwork is literally floating.

When we frame for you in our studio, we'll dry-mount your piece so that it lies perfectly flat and smooth (this will not damage your artwork, but cannot be reversed). When framing at home, the pre-installed lift comes with double-sided tape strips to help you position the art and secure it in place.

The mat window should be at least 1/4" smaller than the edge-to-edge dimensions of your artwork. Otherwise, the art may fall through.

Also, the inside of the frame should be large enough to contain your artwork underneath the matting.
