What is Plaque Mounting?

 

Plaque mounting, also known as a block or "plak" mounting, is a popular method of displaying artwork, photos, and prints. In this process, your artwork is laminated with a matte, UV-protective laminate film. It is then mounted on a sturdy, high-density wood fibre plaque and finished with a coloured bevelled edge, which can be customized with various colours. Hanging the artwork for display is made easy with a keyhole cut into the back of the plaque ensuring your artwork hangs flush against the wall.

 

 

Why Choose Plaque Mounting?

 

• Affordable: Cost-effective compared to traditional framing, with added benefits like ease of cleaning and glare-free viewing.
• Glass-Free: Perfect for high-traffic areas and children's rooms, eliminating the risk of shattering glass.
• Durable & Frameless: Plaque mounting secures your art on sturdy wood fibre plaques, eliminating the need for frames.
• Modern & Customizable: Choose from a variety of edge colours for a contemporary and personalized look.
• Easy for Moving: Our lightweight wooden backing makes it convenient for moving, allowing you to display your art with ease wherever you choose.
• Permanence and Preservation: The UV-protective laminate ensures your art not only lasts for generations but also remains protected against moisture, UV light, smudges, and scratches, preserving its beauty for years to come.
