Product Information

Full details

The Wilko Rectangular Photo Mount is designed for photography enthusiasts and home decor lovers looking to elevate their wall art with a professional, gallery-style finish. Its primary benefit is the added depth and sophistication it brings to any image, helping to frame and protect treasured memories. However, users should note that these mounts are intended for indoor display and require a compatible frame to ensure the mount remains flat and properly positioned against the glass.

FAQs

Can I use this mount for non-rectangular photos?

These mounts are specifically cut for rectangular images, though you can use them with panoramic or square prints if you are willing to trim the print to fit the aperture.

Are these mounts acid-free?

The materials are designed for standard display purposes; for high-value professional prints, consider using archival-grade mounting corners.

What is the best way to attach the photo?

Use archival artist's tape on the back of the print, attaching it to the mount only at the top edge to allow the paper to expand and contract naturally.

Do I need a specific frame size?

Yes, ensure the external dimensions of the mount match the frame size exactly so it fits snugly without sliding.

Can I trim the mount to fit a different frame?

While technically possible, it is difficult to achieve a perfectly clean edge with standard tools, so we recommend selecting the size that matches your frame.

Troubleshooting

The photo is shifting behind the mount.

Apply a small piece of acid-free tape at each corner of the photograph to firmly attach it to the back of the mount aperture.

The mount appears wavy inside the frame.

Ensure the frame is deep enough to hold the mount firmly against the glass; if the frame is too shallow, the mount may bend.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a refined, gallery-style appearance to standard photos
  • Subtle texture provides a high-quality visual finish
  • Available in a range of standard dimensions for easy framing
  • Helps protect photo prints by preventing direct contact with glass

Cons

  • Does not include a backing board or glass frame
  • Limited to rectangular photo formats only
  • Requires precise tape placement to mount photos securely

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your photo mount, place the mount face-down on a clean, flat surface. Align your photograph over the aperture and secure the edges to the back of the mount using acid-free archival artist's tape. Avoid using standard adhesive tape, which may degrade the photo over time. Ensure the mount size matches the frame's internal dimensions exactly. For maintenance, simply dust the mount periodically with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid using water or household cleaners directly on the mount surface, as the linen texture may absorb liquid and become discoloured.
