Mountboards
The Fine Art Trade Guild, in collaboration with board manufacturers has created a classification of mountboards to designate quality and suitability for use.

Level 1 Standard Quality, short term presentation
Level 2 Conservation Quality, long term mounting and storage
Level 3 Museum Quality, high quality artworks and artefacts

We stock representatives of each kind. Below is a selection of our range.
