Forex (PVC) Mounting
Forex is rigid expanded PVC — heavier and more durable than foamboard, with a smooth uniform face and no liner that can lift or yellow. 3mm thick, white or black, with or without a wooden spacer batten behind the substrate.
GPP's house default for direct-mount work (print bonded straight to substrate, no frame, no glass) — ages well, doesn't warp, reads clean on a wall. The spacer-variant adds a slight float-from-wall effect popular with contemporary photography.
Best for
- Direct-mount prints (no frame, no glass)
- Contemporary photography and editorial work
- Long-term installations
- Humid environments (kitchens, bathrooms, outdoors-adjacent)
