Aluminium Composite (Dibond) for Picture Mounting
Dibond, an aluminium composite material, is a highly popular choice for mounting and displaying pictures due to its unique combination of durability, lightness, and sleek appearance. It consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a solid polyethylene core, offering several benefits for both professionals and art enthusiasts.
-
Lightweight: Dibond is significantly lighter than glass or solid metal, making it easy to handle and hang, even for larger pieces or displays.
-
Rigidity & Stability: Despite its lightness, Dibond is incredibly rigid and stable, preventing warping or bending, and keeping your mounted picture secure and flat over time.
-
Durability: This material is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, UV rays, and scratches, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
-
Professional Appearance: Dibond provides a sleek, modern finish that enhances the visual impact of your artwork or photograph, offering a clean, sophisticated backdrop.
-
Versatility: Available in multiple thicknesses, finishes, and colors, Dibond can be tailored to suit custom designs and mounting preferences. It can also be cut into various shapes and sizes to fit specific display needs.
-
Easy to Clean: The smooth surface is easy to maintain, simply requiring a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust or smudges without causing any damage.
-
Fire Resistance: Dibond’s aluminium composition grants it fire-resistant properties, making it a safe choice for commercial spaces or public areas.
With its lightweight durability, versatility, and professional finish, Dibond is an excellent choice for photographers, artists, and businesses seeking a high-quality and visually striking mounting solution.
Fine Art Prints Mounted on Dibond
Dibond is an excellent choice for showcasing high-gloss or metallic Fine Art photos, offering both a sleek and durable mounting solution. Made from an aluminium composite, Dibond weighs less than half of traditional aluminium boards, while still providing a rigid, extremely flat surface. This makes it an ideal option for large photographic prints, especially for exhibition purposes.
The mounting process can include a subframe. This adds a three-dimensional floating effect to your artwork, giving it a unique and professional presence when displayed on the wall.
The Hanging Subframe
The subframe can be selected from either wooden or aluminium options, and is mounted to the back of your Dibond or aluminium composite print. This creates a three-dimensional floating effect, giving your artwork or photos a striking, modern look when displayed.
Dibond prints are available in a range of sizes, from 8.25 x 11.75 inches (A4) up to 118 x 60 inches, offering versatility for various display needs.
