Fillet Inlay

Definition

A Fillet Inlay is a small, often decorative strip of moulding inserted inside a mat opening or between the artwork and mat. It adds detail, elegance, and visual separation in framed artwork presentations.

Applications

Best Practices

• Cut fillets accurately using a Fillet Chopper for precise angles.
• Choose a width and color that complements the mat and artwork.
• Secure fillets carefully to avoid shifting or damage over time.
