To guide you through your options, we will cover the qualities, effects, and applications of the mat board of choice for most veteran framers: the eight-ply mat board.
What is an eight-ply mat board?
The word “ply” refers to the number of layers of material used to make a mat; an eight-ply mat board is one of the thickest options for DIY framing. At American Frame, the material is constructed from either 100% cotton or treated Alpha Cellulose.Great American Art suggests eight ply for professional artists because it is rigid (at double the normal thickness), acid-free, lignin-free, alkaline-pH buffered, and resistant to bleeding and fading.
What are the benefits of an eight-ply mat board?
The eight-ply mat board is all about drama. Its 45-degree bevels, approximately three-sixteenths of an inch wide, accent the extra-thick core, making this mat board ideal for pieces that benefit from bold and enigmatic displays.From a functional perspective, eight ply is constructed for conservation of your work, relieving you of concerns about fading, bleeding, and other types of material degradation. It also provides a solid base for custom framing in larger works of art.
When should you use an eight-ply mat board?
Because of its optimal archival protection, Great American Art recommends eight ply for rare, antique, and historical works of art and paper documentation. It is also the option of choice for watercolor paintings in art galleries and museums.![]() |

Also, keep in mind that with a thicker mat board, you’ll need to calculate your measurements correctly. The thickness of the mat board needs to be added to the thickness of your artwork, acrylic glazing, and mounting board, then measured against your frame’s channel.
Visit us online to look at our current sale on our varieties of eight-ply mat boards! We carry five AlphaRag eight-ply mat boards and two in the AlphaEssentials collection. We offer free samples to help you properly prep for your next DIY custom-framing project. Contact us at (800) 537-0944 or AmericanFrame.com for more information!
Laura Jajko is President of American Frame and a longtime contributor to "A Good Frame of Mind." Here, she delights in bonding with others over her love of art and framing. With more than 40 years of practical experience, she brings a unique perspective in a straightforward style that she hopes will spark lots of interesting and relevant dialogue in our online community.

8 plys are my favorite. Nothing looks more professional!

I've seen multiple dating sites in this life, they're nothing special. Both are monotonous and dull, they are sound like one, as if they are useless according to a blueprint, but I was shocked only by ukrainian mail order brides. I quickly got a girl I met and was pleased with on this platform. I would now suggest this service to the same person men I used to be!

I have some very good ideas for you, when you are very sad, sad, and feel very bad. Frankly speaking, I was exactly the same person as you, and it was really hard for me too, as there's no one that just gives your energy. In general, I never know the real life, I prefer dating apps, so I would like to advise a italian mail order brides. In reality, I was able to meet a real girl on this dating site! For a little over a year, we've dated and all is perfect!
