Window Mount or Passe-Partout Overview
A “Passe-partout” (or Passepartout) is a French term referring to a mat, paper, or cardboard sheet positioned over a print and beneath the glass in a picture frame.
Advantages of Using a Window Mount or Passepartout
Passe-partouts, commonly known as window mounts, serve not only to enhance visual appeal but also to provide protection for photographs and artwork. By creating a barrier between the artwork and the glass, these mounts prevent condensation, safeguarding against water damage, mould, mildew, or surface deterioration. Our exclusive use of conservation quality boards certified by the Fine Art Trade Guild ensures archival, conservation-grade window mounts that enhance and protect your images. The precision-cut, bevelled shape of passe-partout mounts prevents shadows, offering a seamless presentation that complements and protects your artwork without distraction. Window mounts are available in sizes up to 60 x 40 inches, with a window size of 30 x 40 inches.

With in-house production capabilities, we ensure the finest quality in sizes up to 70 inches, adding an extra layer of sophistication to your presentation.
