Acrylic Mounting
The Acrylic Photo Mount offers a modern, crisp, and clean alternative to traditional framing, allowing the image to take center stage without distraction. Mark’s images are face-mounted on solid 6mm high-lustre Shinkolite Glass Perspex, featuring 3-dimensional diamond-polished bevelled edges. They are back-mounted to HIPS and protected with heavy-duty, museum-quality UV-protected acrylic to ensure longevity. Aluminium U channels on the back make the picture float 20mm off the wall, creating a window-like effect. These acrylic float frames are designed and manufactured in Sydney, Australia, and can be shipped worldwide in our custom-made interstate packs.
Enhanced Visual Appeal With Acrylic Mounting
Acrylic enhances the colours and details of the print, providing a high-definition look. The material’s transparency adds depth and dimension to the image, making it appear more vibrant and lifelike. The clean, glossy finish of acrylic creates a contemporary look that fits well in modern decor. The absence of a traditional frame gives the artwork a floating appearance, adding to its elegance.
Durable & Versatile Art With Acrylic Mounting
Acrylic provides a protective barrier against UV rays, dust, and moisture, which helps preserve the longevity of the print. It’s also less likely to break compared to glass, making it a safer option. Acrylic mounting is suitable for various types of prints, including photographs, digital artworks, and fine art reproductions. It can be used for both small and large-scale pieces, offering flexibility in presentation.
