We offer numerous options to beautifully display your new art that will vary by substrate:
ALUMINUM MOUNTS
Float Mount – Standard up to around 36” wide, our basic mount hangs the art ½” off the wall. Lightweight and simple to hang, they come pre-installed and include rubber feet to prevent marring the wall and to help minimize movement on the wall.
Inset Metal Mount – Standard on sizes above 36” wide, these mounts are ¾” thick and offer increased rigidity to prevent any warping of the print. They include a metal cleat, which keeps the print level at all times and this mount can be locked to the wall for rental units or in areas with high winds, etc. Inset mounts are also available as an upgrade for the smaller pieces if you are displaying them in a grouping and would like a consistent ¾” gap or lock them down, etc.
Exhibit Mount – This is our preferred mount, particularly for larger pieces. It takes an inset metal mount and adds a black Dibond backer to the metal, giving it a wonderful high-end presence on the wall with the added thickness.
Float Framing – With numerous wood and metal options, the metal print will float inside the frame with a ¼” gap all the way around. There is no glass or acrylic over the top of the print for a nice mixture of traditional and contemporary. They come finished with wire for hanging.
ALUMINUM LAMINATES
High-Gloss – This is the standard selection, simply because it is what most of our customers are accustomed to. Lots of shine, which results in the sharpest print we can get on metal. However, the shine can also result in distracting reflections, showing lights and windows in the room.
Mid-Gloss – This is our preferred laminate, cutting reflections significantly, with minimal loss in contrast or sharpness. We also enjoy the slightly more traditional feel that comes with an ever-so-slightly muted presentation.
Both laminates offer good UV protection, but we do suggest keeping metal prints out of the direct sun.
LUMACHROME MOUNTS
Inset Roma Mount – This is the ‘standard’ mount for our Lumachromes, but is far from typical. With genuine high quality Roma materials, this mount floats the piece 1.375” off the wall and hangs with large wood cleats. All of our pieces also include an acrylic backer, which prevents warping in humid environments. Heavy, and heavy duty.
Roma Mouldings – We offer a variety of the most stunning handmade Italian frames and linen liners and can frame pieces up to 10’ wide. Due to the specific and custom nature of these frame offerings, we are not currently offering them online. We would love to speak with you to help you pick yours out, please contact us and we’ll get you going!
LUMACHROME ACRYLIC
Standard – 1/8” thick clear acrylic, facemounted to the Lumachrome print.
Tru Vue – Also 1/8” thick, our upgraded offering is optically clear, reduces reflections somewhat, has more vibrant color, increased sharpness and improved scratch resistance.
