Metal artwork has always been a form of self-expression since ancient times. Metal prints, also known as metallic prints, which are modern, high definition art pieces made of a sleek metal panel (usually aluminium), layered with an image of your choosing.

Why Metal Art?

While the accurate medium you choose for your photographs and artwork is largely based on personal style, there are some unique benefits of metal art.

Metal prints basically use a frame less design, giving photos a clean, modern look. You don’t have to deal with framing or matting the piece: the art is ready the minute it arrives. Because of its durable, long-lasting material and professional finish, metal art has immense longevity. It always looks as new in 20 years as it did on day one.

In addition to basically its longevity, metal prints are scratch-resistant and waterproof. Yes, you have heard it right: you can hang it in your kitchen, bathroom or even playroom, without worry that it will be damaged.

 

 

When mainly deciding on your metal print, you can choose from a few options for your surface finish:

• A brushed metal surface: Allows a silver base coat to peek through your image, enhancing the metallic elements and muting the image colours.
• A true colour surface: Provides a white base coat that allows the colours of the image to truly pop.
• A shiny finish: Available for both surface types. Tends to give the image a more vibrant, crisp appearance.
• A matte finish: basically available for both surface types. Offers a more subdued, muted look.

No matter the surface type or finish you choose or go with, metal prints experience less glare than framed artwork. With complete metal prints, there’s no glass for the light’s reflection to interfere with. It is always recommended that you not place your metal print in direct sunlight, in order to reduce any fading that may occur.
