If you're looking for a contemporary way to display your favorite photograph or fine art print without the distraction or additional cost of a frame, then plexi face mounting is a method to consider. When your beautiful Giclée paper print is enclosed between a sheet of high quality acrylic glass and an aluminium Di Bond panel, the result is an uninterrupted, vividly modern display that highlights both the image and your wall.
Facemount creates a permanent bond directly between the image and the back of the plexi. Reflection between the image and glazing is eliminated, causing light to reflect differently than it would in a traditionally framed image. Colours are more vibrant and the image appears sharper than ever before, standing out with a near 3D effect. The adhesive Facemount film contains UV stabilizers so the glue won't yellow and colours will remain vivid for years to come.

Q1 : What is a plexi face mount? A plexi face mount is a frameless way to display your printed images. A metallic or glossy print is sandwiched between a sheet of aluminium di-bond and a sheet of crystal clear plexiglass. The three pieces are fused together using a cold press.
Your image will have enhanced color and a three dimensional appearance due to the plexiglass being affixed directly to the print. The plexi face mount is hung with an "invisible" hanger that gives the appearance your print is floating off the wall.
Q2 : What kind of print can I get in a plexi face mount? Any image you choose can be transformed into a beautiful, frameless plexi face mount. Photographs are the most popular choice, but you can get great results from a vibrant abstract painting or other artwork, too.
You can choose between metallic and glossy paper for your print.
Q3 : Is plexi face mounting an archival option? No. Because the plexiglass and aluminium backing cannot be removed without damaging the print, plexi face mounting is not an archival or conservation display option. However, your image is printed using archival Gicl&ecute;e inks and top quality papers, and the plexiglass is UV-resistant.
Q4 : What are the benefits of choosing plexi face mounting? There are many reasons to choose a plexi face mount instead of a regular framed print.
By attaching the plexiglass directly to the print, a sense of depth is achieved, resulting in an almost 3D effect. Reflection may be diminished compared to a regular framed image.
Sometimes the glass over prints can dull the image. With a face mount, the combination of the glossy or metallic paper and the high shine plexiglass results in vivid, rich color every time.
Your face mount is created using the same top of the line inks, papers, and plexiglass used in custom framing. This means your image is equal to a framed print in longevity and quality.
A plexi face mount is a bit less expensive than a framed print of the same size. The cost of the frame moulding, custom construction, and matting is avoided.
If your face mount happens to topple off the wall, there is a good chance it will remain undamaged. There is no frame to crack or break, and the plexiglass is unlikely to chip due to the reinforced backing.
Unlike the foam core backing on a framed print, the aluminium Di Bond protects your print from the back just as much as from the front.
Once your image is mounted onto the plexiglass, there is no chance of moisture, dust, or other problematic particles working their way between the clear cover and your print - the image will remain just as uninterrupted and clear as the day it was delivered.
Q5 : How is my plexi face mount made?
First a sheet of plexiglass and a sheet of aluminium are cut to fit your print
A piece of transparent mounting tissue is placed between the print and the aluminium backing. This "sandwich" passes through the cold press, which forms an adhesive bond. (Sometimes the aluminium will have an adhesive attached, which eliminates the need for the tissue.)
The same process is followed to affix the plexiglass to the front of the print.
Once the pieces are fused together, a custom size, heavy-duty hanging system is attached to the aluminium backing. This rectangular frame sits in from the edges of the face mount, creating a "floating" effect. The plexi face mount is hung on the wall using only a nail or two.
Q6 : How do I clean my plexi face mount? Your plexi face mount can be cleaned with a soft cloth and water. Do not use window/glass cleaner. Ensure the cloth is free of debris that might scratch the plexiglass. If you feel you need more than water, cleaners especially for acrylic glass can be found online and in certain stores.
Q7 : Can I send you my print to be mounted? No. We prefer to print your image ourselves as this ensures compatibility throughout the whole process.
Q8 : How long will my plexi face mount order take? The production time for your plexi face mount is 5 - 7 business days. Depending on where you live, shipping can take anywhere from one to 7 days longer.
Q9 : How heavey is a plexi face mount? Roughly 2Ib/Sqft, for example a 36x24 inch Face mount will be roughly 12Ib.
