IMPORTANT: These matboard sheets are supplied loose,  unwrapped, unboxed and without any cardboard or bubble wrap.

These Acid-Free Whitecore Matboard Sheets, or mountboard sheets, are the paper board sheets from which window mats, or window mounts, are cut either by hand, or by machine, by picture framers, artists and hobbyists.

The sheets sold below here are the  most common size, being 32"x40" or  81.5 x 101.6 cm in the four most popular colours, Cool White, Warm White,  Cream and Black.

The window mats, or window mounts ( more often simply called ‘mats’ ) are those coloured 'cards ', 'borders' , ‘surrounds’ or 'edges', which separate and go around the pictures, photos or images  when these are framed.

A common use for a window mat  ( by way of instance ) is to accommodate, or to adapt, a large picture frame to accept a smaller picture inside it, such as our popular,  A3( 29.7 x 42 cm ) Black Wood Matted Picture Frame .
