Construct
Archival framing is to the combination of material and practices used to mount and frame an artwork. The main components of Archival framing are the frame, the mounting board and the glass.
The Mounting board
The mounting board is a combination of single materials which form together the support for the artwork. It may be composed of:
Strainer: a wooden frame that goes in the back of the frame. It is most commonly used with cap frames, shadow boxes, mirrors and oversize jobs. It ensures the longevity of the mounting board and ultimately the artwork itself. It also prevents the backing board from bending and reinforces the frame’s joinery.
Backing board: Common materials are acid free foamboard, coroplast (corrugated plastic)
Mat board: This is the substrate commonly used to affix an artwork. 100% acid free rag mat to float artwork or with a cut in window. Other substrates include linen mat, sintra, dibond, wood and acrylic.
