Product Information

Full details

The Wilko Rectangular Photo Mount is designed for photography enthusiasts and home decorators who want to achieve a professional, gallery-style look for their framed images. By providing a clean, textured border, it draws focus directly to the photograph, helping to protect the print from direct contact with the glass; however, users should ensure they measure their frames accurately, as the mount requires a specific frame size to fit correctly without buckling.

FAQs

Does the mount include an adhesive backing?

No, the mount is a standalone card border. You will need to use archival-safe mounting tape to secure your photo to the reverse side.

Can I trim the mount if it is slightly too big?

While it is possible to trim the outer edges with a sharp craft knife and a metal ruler, it is recommended to purchase the exact size required to maintain the clean factory-cut edge.

What sizes are available?

The Wilko range includes 10x8, 12x10, 14x11, 16x12, and 20x16 inch variants.

Is the material acid-free?

Yes, the mounts are designed for standard display use to ensure your photographs remain preserved during normal indoor environmental conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the glass size of your frame; that is the size of the photo mount you should purchase. The internal aperture will be sized specifically for standard photo printing ratios.

Troubleshooting

Photo appears crooked inside the mount window

Use repositionable artist tape to hold the photo in place while checking alignment from the front before final attachment.

Mount appears buckled inside the frame

Ensure the frame depth is sufficient. If the frame is too shallow, the mount may compress against the glass, causing warping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a professional gallery appearance to DIY framing projects
  • Subtle linen texture complements various decor styles
  • Helps protect photo prints by keeping them away from frame glass
  • Easy to install in most standard rectangular frames

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement of both photo and frame size
  • Linen surface can be prone to dust accumulation over time
  • Limited to rectangular formats only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install your mount, ensure your photo is slightly smaller than the aperture of the mount to allow for proper centering. Always handle the mount by the edges to prevent skin oils from marking the textured surface. Compatibility is straightforward: match the outer dimensions of the mount to the internal dimension of your picture frame. For care, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently remove dust from the mount's surface. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the linen texture and cause the cardboard core to warp.
