Mounting and Finishing

Mounting and finishing require steady hands, a surgically-clean workspace, and unparalleled attention to detail. Our mounting department has the tools, technique, and experience to ensure a flawless presentation. All our work is custom designed and made to your specifications.

Mounting

We offer a variety of mounting substrates, including FoamCore, Gatorboard, and Aluminum Composite Panels, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your artwork and aesthetic preferences. To enable ease of hanging, we offer back cleats and back bars made of Wood, Gatorboard, and Sintra. We also offer Grommets and Pole pockets for hanging canvas signs.

Lamination

Our lamination process creates a protective barrier that shields your artwork from dust, dirt, and moisture, preserving its color, texture, and longevity. We offer 3ml Luster, Satin and Glossy Film Laminates in both cast and calendared vinyl as wide as 60”.

Framing

We offer coordination of framing, and delivery of finished prints to a long list of local framers. We offer many custom framing solutions, including custom-stained wood, metal, and many other bespoke options. Framing can be finished and glazed with regular PlexiGlas, UV PlexiGlas, and anti-glare Optium. We can also make lightboxes for backlit pieces.
