Mounting Services for Clean, Modern Presentation

Certain artworks and displays benefit from mounting rather than traditional framing. We help you understand when mounting is appropriate and which materials are best suited to your piece.

Plaque Mounting

Plaque mounting offers a clean, modern look for artwork, photographs, and signage. It provides a rigid backing and works well for frameless presentation in contemporary spaces.

Dry Mounting

Dry mounting creates a smooth, flat surface for prints and posters. We explain when this method is suitable and when conservation-friendly alternatives should be considered instead. Clients often explore these options when searching for picture frame shop, Vancouver services that go beyond standard frames.

Advanced Mounting Substrates

For some artwork and photographic prints, the mounting substrate plays a major role in long-term stability and appearance. During your consultation, we explain when specialty substrates are advisable and when simpler materials are more appropriate.

Ultramount

Ultramount is a lightweight, rigid board used to keep prints flat and visually clean. It is often chosen for contemporary photography and display prints where presentation matters but long-term reversibility may not be required.

Ultramount is commonly used for:

  • Photography prints
  • Display artwork
  • Short- to medium-term installations

We clearly explain its benefits and limitations so you can decide if it suits your piece.

Dibond

Dibond is a composite aluminum panel with a solid core that offers excellent rigidity and resistance to warping. It is often recommended for larger pieces or environments where stability is essential.

Dibond is well suited for:

  • Large-format prints
  • Commercial and public spaces
  • Artwork requiring strong structural support

This option provides a sleek, modern look while maintaining durability.

Aluminum Mounting

Direct aluminum mounting offers a bold, contemporary presentation with excellent dimensional stability. This approach is typically used for modern photographic prints where visual impact is a priority.

PAluminum mounting may be appropriate for:

  • High-contrast photography
  • Modern interiors and gallery settings
  • Pieces intended to make a strong visual statement

Because aluminum mounting is not reversible, we discuss this carefully before proceeding.

Sintra

Sintra is a lightweight PVC board commonly used for mounting prints and display graphics. It offers a smooth surface and good rigidity, making it suitable for short- to medium-term displays where weight and cost are key considerations. Sintra is often chosen for exhibitions, signage, or temporary installations rather than long-term conservation framing.

Face-Mounted Plexiglass

Face mounting involves bonding a print directly to clear plexiglass, creating a high-gloss, modern appearance with strong visual depth. This method enhances color vibrancy and contrast, making it popular for contemporary photography and gallery-style presentations. Because the process is permanent and not reversible, we carefully discuss suitability before recommending it.
