    When to Use the Special Request Mat Cutting Form

    If you want a Multi-Window Mat whose windows are not all the same exact height and width. In addition to filling out the form, we ask that you submit a PDF drawing or diagram of the layout and dimensions.

    If you get a pop-up warning when entering dimensions in the Custom Mat Cutting page. If your mat exceeds dimensions or the border is too small you will have to use the Special Request Mat Cutting page to submit a request.

    How to order a non-standard weighted bottom border that isn't listed in the drop-down menu.

    Use the multi-window form to customize your single-window mats with your desired border and window dimensions. Select the multi-window option and choose to have just one column and one row. Specify the window height and width as well as the border dimensions. This allows you to customize the weighted bottom border for your mat.
