IMPORTANT Transit damage to mountboard
We endeavour to pack mount board in a way that protects it during delivery to you. However, on occasions, a small amount of damage occurs to the board edges or corners. To prevent the need to replace damaged mountboard and the inconvenience it causes to you, we have reduced the price so it is equivalent to a board size that is 30mm smaller all the way around.
