Spoilt for choice

Larson-Juhl’s 320+

mountboards

It’s nearly 360 if you include backing boards, fastmount and foamboard – and the updated selector breaks down the 11 variants available by way of an easy reference key for customers to identify the code, pack size, microns and Fine Art Trade Guild (FATG) level.

The specification guide, meanwhile, details Blue Wool Scale rating, ageing test results and all technical characteristics of the board types.

Matt George, sales & marketing director for Larson-Juhl, says: “With nearly 180 colours available too, our extensive choice of quality mountboards is second to none and the new selector has swatches of every board type, so customers can compare across the range to find the right option for any framing job. It’s specifically designed to be ‘consumer friendly’ so our customers can use it during the consultation process or individually to help select the optimum board for the frame.” Larson-Juhl mountboards are all made in the English Lake District and milled with the natural resources of the River Kent. They all fully comply with the latest FATG Mountboard Quality Standards, which are directed to the composition, combinations and characteristics of papers and paper boards used in the framing of artwork, keepsakes and memorabilia.

They also help to give material categorisation of how these fit into four levels of framing specified by the FATG – and for extra convenience the new selector lays them out as:

Level 1 - mountboards with all parts made from 100% cotton fibres and best for Museum and Conservation level framing.

Level 2 – the best for Conservation level framing, but can be used in any framing except Museum Level.

Level 3 – not for Museum or Conservation levels of framing, but can be used for Commended level framing and below.

Level 4 - best suited to low quality and Minimum level framing, but not suitable for Museum or Conservation framing. Matt adds: “The new selector additionally highlights our impressive choice of some 140 sustainably certified products, because we’re proud to offer the largest range of FSC™ and PEFC products in the industry. We’re also working ever closer with our forestry supply chain and manufacturers to ensure that our commitment to the environment is traceable and authentic, as well as taking steps to optimise our sustainability in other parts of the business.”
