What Are Acrylic Facemount Prints?

Have you ever looked at a stunning photo or artwork and wondered how it achieves that vivid, almost lifelike quality? The secret lies in acrylic facemount prints. Revolutionising image display with their durability and sleek, modern aesthetic, these prints are gaining popularity. Let’s find out why.



THE BENEFITS OF CHOOSING ACRYLIC FACEMOUNT PRINTS

Acrylic facemount prints are a premium choice for artists and photographers seeking to showcase their work with unparalleled clarity and impact.



ENHANCED VISUAL QUALITY

Acrylic facemount prints are renowned for their ability to enhance the visual quality of images. The acrylic layer adds depth and luminosity, making colours more vibrant and details sharper.



DURABILITY AND LONGEVITY

One of the most significant advantages of acrylic facemount prints is their durability. The combination of high-quality materials ensures your artwork is protected against fading, moisture and dust. The acrylic layer shields the print from environmental factors, while the backing materials provide structural stability.



MODERN AESTHETIC APPEAL

The sleek and contemporary look of acrylic facemount prints can complement any decor style, from traditional to modern minimalist. This versatility makes them a popular choice.



THE FLOATING LOOK

A standout feature of the acrylic facemount is its distinctive floating look, achieved through an ingeniously designed inset wooden frame attached to the back. This creates a subtle gap between the wall and the artwork, giving the impression that the piece is effortlessly hovering in mid-air.

This adds a touch of modern elegance and draws the viewer’s attention entirely to the artwork itself. The floating effect is particularly striking in well-lit spaces, where the shadows cast around the edges of the frame contribute to a dynamic, three-dimensional appearance. 

NAVIGATING THE ACRYLIC FACEMOUNT PROCESS

The creation of an acrylic facemount is a meticulous process:

Printing: The image is printed on high-resolution metallic paper with archival inks, ensuring each detail is captured with utmost precision and the colours remain vibrant over time.

Mounting: The print is face-mounted to the acrylic panel using Opti Clear® film, a process that secures the print and enhances its luminosity.

Backing: A DIBOND® aluminium panel is attached to the back for protection, providing a sturdy and durable foundation that ensures the longevity of the artwork.

Framing: An inset wooden frame is added for the floating wall effect, meticulously crafted to create a subtle and elegant levitation illusion that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the display.
