Plaque mounting, sometimes known as block mounting, is a process whereby the image is covered with a UV protective laminate and mounted onto a piece of wood. The beveled edge can be painted in a variety of colours, including some more textured looks.

What is Plaque Mounting?

Plaque mounting is a modern display method where a printed image is permanently mounted onto a rigid backing board, creating a clean, frameless presentation. This technique enhances durability while giving photographs and artwork a sleek, professional look. Popular for galleries, offices, and home décor, plaque mounting offers a refined way to display prints without traditional framing.

Advantages of Plaque Mounts

Plaque mounts have some advantages and unique aspects to offer that make them an excellent method of presenting your prints. Due to the UV-protective laminate, the fading process is slowed over time. The plaque mount will practically last a lifetime. You can also choose between a variety of colours and patterns for the beveled edges and even change/overpaint them over time to try out new styles. The options for combinations and looks of the different edges are completely up to you.

As there is no usage of glass in this product, it makes a good choice for children’s rooms or highly frequented, narrow areas, such as corridors, where you usually would not place fragile items. If you want an alternative and inventive way of displaying your posters or images, plaque mounting is a great alternative.
