cut matboard
A cut matboard is a professional framing material designed to enhance and protect artwork while creating a sophisticated visual presentation. Made from high-quality, acid-free paper or board material, these precisely cut mats serve as a crucial component in professional framing applications. The matboard features clean, precisely measured cuts that create a window opening to display artwork while maintaining a professional border around the piece. Using advanced computerized cutting technology, modern cut matboards achieve exceptional accuracy and consistency in both straight and beveled cuts. The material composition typically includes multiple layers of alpha-cellulose, ensuring both durability and conservation-grade protection for valuable artwork. Cut matboards come in various thicknesses, typically ranging from 2-ply to 8-ply, allowing framers to create depth and dimensional effects. They are available in an extensive range of colors, textures, and finishes to complement any artwork or interior design scheme. The precision-cut edges can be either straight or beveled at a 45-degree angle, creating a sophisticated reveal that adds depth to the presentation. These matboards are essential in maintaining proper spacing between artwork and glazing, preventing potential damage from condensation or direct contact.
