English term

mat board

English to Romanian Other Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting woodworking
There’s nothing like a felt-lined drawer. It makes
a classy drawer classier. Master craftsman Frank
Klausz starts with a small dovetailed drawer.
Begin by measuring the interior of the drawer;
then cut pieces of cardboard or mat board
slightly undersize. Cut each felt piece about 1 in.
larger all around than the board; then cut away
the corners of the felt at roughly 45 degrees, so
the felt just touches the board at the corners (A).

ok, thx.
Peer comment(s):

agree lumierre : Passepartout is the correct word to be used. There is no Romanian version established, and this type of board has special properties differentiating it from other boards. One can not define it as merely Carton Decorativ.

Passepartout

A special acid free board that has a face color and a different core colour. Unique defined board to frame artworks with apecial properties. Source. I work in framing bussiness. Only the original french word is correct to be used in Romanian, it has been imported as so.
