What Is a Matted Picture Frame?
A matted picture frame is a type of frame that has a thin, flat paper-based material incorporated into part of the frame itself. This paper-based material, called a mat, adds a decorative boundary around the contained items, like photographs or certificates. A matted picture frame also serves as a way to separate the image’s surface from touching the glass. When shopping for picture frames with mats at Staples, look for single and multi-image display capabilities to suit your framing needs.
What Materials Are Matted Picture Frames Made From?
Matted picture frames are typically made from materials such as wood, polyurethane or plastic. These materials correspond to the outer layer of the frame itself, whereas the matted inner section is paper or a paper-based product.
