MOORMAN MATBOARDS WITH IMITATION SUEDE AND LINEN
NEW AESTHETIC DIMENSIONS
Apart from matboards with a paper surface, Moorman also carries items with imitation suede and linen covering. There is no difference in quality from the types of matboard that have been mentioned earlier, but there is a difference in appearance.
Beautiful effects hitherto unattained can be achieved with imitation suede and linen
matboards and hence the demand for these matboards is increasing. Both traditional and modern art are suitable for framing in these rich materials. If a work of art requires that little bit extra, you will do well to consider using imitation suede or linen. Without exception, the results are subtle and special.
The fiber of the imitation suede that is used is microscopically short, so that it retains its position on the mat. The short fibre also means that the mat can be placed directly on the glass of the frame.
MATBOARD WITH A COLOURED AND BLACK CORE
The coloured core of Moorman matboard is identical to the white acid-free cellulose core, except that colour has been added. The coloured core provides additional aesthetic possibilities when framing. A contour line in a contrasting colour round the work may provide a specially refined effect.
In addition, there is also the black pH neutral core. This is buffered with at least 3% calcium carbonate. Matboard with a black core - you will find several items in the Moorman collection - can give an additional dimension to the work of art. The back of Moorman matboards with a black core is a dark-grey, smear-proof, high-quality buffered acid-free paper.
