Hi!
I'm trying to make sure all the (non-framer) staff here are using the same language when we take in orders.
Looking to see if everyone uses the same terminology (more or less).
[*] A mount which overlaps the edges of the picture I'd call a window mount
[*] If I use a hedgehog mount to mount a picture straight to a piece of mount board, I'd call that a surface mount
[*] if I do the same thing but mount it to a bit of foam core board first, I'd call that a float mount
[*] Is there a term for something which is (what I call) surface mounted and then has a window mount around the outside of it, say 10mm away from the edge?
Any other types of mount that people can think of? I'm trying to put together a list, which will hopefully turn in to well labelled examples behind the desk.
Cheers,
andrew

Re: Mount terminology
I think everyone has their own personal terminology when it comes to framing.
As long as you all understand each other.

Re: Mount terminology
What you call surface mounting I would call float mounting either straight onto mountboard or on top of foamboard.
I don't have a term for having a window mount around the outside as I would simply demonstrate for customers if required.
