Photo prints behind acrylic glass are one of WhiteWall’s most eye-catching and popular options for presenting images. Here’s why…
of laminating a photograph on Alu- Dibond and subsequently sealing it behind 2mm thick acrylic glass. The latter helps make the photos appear much more brilliant, with the increased contrast also lending imagery a three-dimensional depth, further enhanced if choosing an increased thickness of 4 or 6mm. Landscape photography in particular, such as the examples by nature photographer Iurie Belegurschi shown here, can be visually amplified in this way. For a more subtle effect, opt for matte acrylic glass. Or, if you have a brilliant image which deserves to stand out, then going for glossy acrylic glass is WhiteWall’s advice. Of course, framing lends any image the finishing touch. Here, it can advise on the best match for whichever acrylic finish you’re choosing. Almost anything can be done but, by way of example, reduced frame products such as the WhiteWall Slimline frame harmonise well with the restrained appearance of matte acrylic glass. As glossy acrylic frames command more attention, these can in turn be enhanced by a more striking frame. When mounting your work on the wall – and why wouldn’t you, as photo prints laminated behind acrylic glass always cut a fine figure when hung – the photo finisher has simplified the process with its easy WhiteWall mounting system, which further increases stability. Also consider that the desired location of where you choose to hang your image has a bearing on the choice of lamination, as does available space and the incidence of light. Note too that its acrylic glass finishes can be combined with other products such as passe-partout frames or laminated fine art prints to truly deliver a knock-out gallery effect in our own home.
