Overview
The Silent Support Behind Every Great Frame While unseen, backing boards play a critical role in framing. They ensure the artwork stays flat, prevent warping, and shield against dust, humidity, and environmental wear.
Types & Styles
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)
Our go-to for solid, stable backing. Smooth, dense, and ideal for both small and large frames.
• 2.5 mm: Small frames
• 3.5 mm: Medium frames
• 5 mm: Large wall pieces
• 8–10 mm: Oversized, layered, or archival frames
Green MDF
Same strength, made sustainably. Contains low-emission adhesives and eco-certified fibers. Ideal for green buildings, eco-conscious clients, and institutions.
Sunboard (PVC Foam)
Lightweight yet rigid — used when frame weight is a concern. Especially great for shipping, portable art, or large installations.
