Archival mounting from the experts

   
Mounting is the latest word in photographic exhibitions. Although mounting to card was common for framing photographs for some hundred years, other modern materials such as Foamboard, Foamex and Aluminium have become very popular for their archival stability. We recommend archival materials listed below for any artworks that you would like to see last for a very long time.
