Artwork Displaying Methods: Which one should you choose? (Part 3)

We have gone over dry mounting, plaque mounting and plexiface mounts in the previous two sets in this series. Each method has its pros and cons in terms of: usage, look and feel and shelf life. I think these aforementioned methods are the most widely available, most popular and commonly known mounting methods.

We have recently started selling wooden panels on our website and they can be used for various art projects. I've seen a lot of different D.I.Y projects online using wooden blocks  which includes photos being mounted and displayed on wood. 

The natural wood material can make a space feel warm and cozy. It is also very durable and goes well with many spaces. Photo wood block mounts can be hung on a wall or stacked on a table.

The most common photo block mounts I've seen online have a rustic aesthetic to it. The wood usually shows through the print or the print is cut in a way to incorporate some of the wood texture into it. 

At Vancouver On Canvas, we not only sell the wood blocks but we also have mounting services (as of now it is by request only). Unlike the most typical wooden mounts I've seen online, that have a matte finish or protected with mod podge, we apply a coat of epoxy resin on the print to give it a glossy finish. This helps to enhance the colours and give the print dimension. 

The resin has a glass appearance but it is less fragile and it is frameless. Unlike plexiface mounts, the wooden panel has depth to it. The piece looks weighted and paired with the exposed wood grain it helps add depth to any space or brighten up a dark room.

Wooden photo panels are long lasting and work well in homes or personal spaces. If you're interested in buying a wood block or getting a wood block with resin visit VancouverOnCanvas.com to order yours today.
