Mounting for Different Purposes

Mounting corners are small, adhesive-backed squares that allow for easy attachment and removal of photographs, making them suitable for temporary display.

Dry mounting involves adhering the photograph to a rigid backing using heat and pressure, resulting in a permanent bond that is often used for archival purposes.

Floating mounts involve attaching the photograph to a backing with a small gap, creating a visually appealing effect that draws attention to the photograph.

Mat boards provide a visually appealing border around the photograph, enhancing its presentation and drawing attention to the image.

Laminating involves sealing the photograph between two layers of protective material, making it resistant to moisture and UV damage, which is ideal for outdoor display.

Backing boards provide a solid foundation for the mounted photograph, ensuring its stability and preventing bending or warping.

Dry mounting involves using heat and pressure to adhere the photograph directly to a rigid backing, creating a permanent bond.

Spacers are used to create a small gap between the photograph and the backing, allowing for air circulation and preventing the photograph from sticking to the backing.

Stretching involves wrapping the photograph around a wooden frame and securing it with staples or tacks, creating a taut and visually appealing presentation.

Conservation mounts are designed to protect photographs from moisture, dust, and other environmental factors that can cause damage over time.

Wet mounting involves using a water-based adhesive to adhere the photograph to a backing, creating a permanent bond.

Hinges are used to attach the photograph to a backing in a way that allows it to be opened and closed, making it suitable for albums and portfolios.

Magnetic mounting involves using magnets to attach the photograph to a metal surface, allowing for easy removal and repositioning.

Frames are used to enhance the visual appeal of the photograph by providing a decorative border and drawing attention to the image.
