5 Attractive Mounting Styles:

Original Style (OS) This is the ‘Original Frameless Mount’, and our most popular. It is a handcrafted, proven design, developed over 40 years ago. Light-but-sturdy braces on the back are recessed from the edge, making your artwork appear to float on the wall. It has black beveled edges and arrives ready for hanging.

Edge Brace Closeup (Black)

Edge Brace (EB) The Edge Brace, as the name implies, has its bracing flush with the edge of the image, creating a box (or “stretched canvas”) look that is 7/8” deep. The side edges are finished with a durable, bonded accent material in either white or black. The image is sealed with a clear finish and arrives ready for hanging.

  Original Style / No-Bevel (OS/X) This is a variation on the popular Original Style. Rather than a bevel, the edge is cut square. Like the beveled option, Original Style / No Bevel has recessed braces and is ready for hanging. This style is necessary for any project that does not have straight edges and right angle corners, like circles, ovals and unusual shapes.
  Push Pin (PP) Our Push Pin option is ideal for maps and other documents when it is necessary to easily install push pins or other position indicators. The image is mounted on ½” soft board and is braced on the back like the Original Style, but comes with a white or black edge finish like the Edge Brace style.
  Mount and Lacquer (ML) The Mount & Lacquer is an artistic approach for framing large images without requiring glass. It has no bracing and no finished edge, yet comes with a small hanger on the back unless otherwise requested.
