Why You Should Use Mats in Your Picture Frames
Picture frame mats are a wonderful way to make your framed photos look amazing. If youve never used a mat and youre looking for a simple way to make your photos look even better, then you should definitely consider using mats. Picture frame mats add a dimension to your finished picture frame that will help to showcase your photos beautifully.
Mats are very versatile and make a big difference in the look of your framed piece of artwork.
What will a picture frame mat do for your photo? Here are three simple ways matting can make a difference with your photo:
- Mats can help in framing pictures or artwork in odd sizes
- Mats offer unique and different ways to show off your creativity
- Mats can help your photograph stand out
If you want to avoid the expense of a custom frame but have a picture or piece of artwork in a non-standard size, picture frame mats can solve your problem. A picture frame mat basically inserts into the frame, between the picture and the glass, and surrounds the picture like an inner frame giving it a beautiful finished look. The benefit of mats is that you can have them fit any size of artwork and fit any picture frame size. Picture frame mats can display a non-standard photo or piece of artwork and make it fit nicely in any ready made standard sized frame without the big expense of a custom made frame. Mats can be cut to fit any size frame, whether a ready made frame or custom frame and are the perfect way to enhance your picture or artwork.
Mats are also popular for displaying more photos in a smaller space like collage frames or other multiple opening frames like double or triple picture frames.
Personalizing your picture frames is another great benefit of mats. Picture frame mats can be used to personalize your frame, from special messages to whimsical notes, signatures or drawings. You can use mats for personalizing picture frames when displaying wedding photos, graduations, anniversary parties, vacations and just about any type of photo display.
Picture frame mats also allow you to express your creativity. Mats can be cut many different ways and are available in a wide variety of colors so you can create a truly stunning photo display. A mat will help set off frames in just about any color from white picture frames to black, blue or even red picture frames.
Mats can serve another purpose besides adding to the eye appeal and personalization of your picture. Mats will help prevent your photos from touching the picture frame glass. This is important because over time moisture exposure can damage your photo by causing your photo to stick to the glass. If you really want to protect your photos or artwork long term, you should consider using conservation techniques and archival products for all your framing. These types of archival products do not contain chemicals that would otherwise degrade your pictures over time.
With so many benefits, the only downside of picture frame mats is that it costs a little extra time and money to buy the mat. But even that is small since you can use precut mats for standard picture frame sizes that are easy to find and affordable. A non-standard mat for a unique size, however, will require a little additional cost because it has to be hand cut but is almost always well worth it.
One thing to be careful of when using multiple mats in a frame is to avoid non-glare or anti-reflective (AR) glass. If you use two or more mats with non-glare glass your photo may very well appear fuzzy or out of focus. The thickness of the multiple mats creates a larger distance between the photo and the non-glare glass making the photo look diffused.
So, remember these two helpful hints – use pre-cut mats to save money and never use non-glare glass when using more than one mat.
Once you try your first picture frame mat, youll be sure to love the look a mat can add to your favorite photo. No wonder picture frame mats are so popular by professional photographers -they really add a finished look to any picture. Hopefully this article has helped you see the benefit of mats and will help to encourage you to try one with your next picture frame.
