Dibond Mounts & Custom Art Mounts

Dibond mounts & custom art mounts as an alternative to acrylic face mounts

Our Dibond mounts and custom art mounts are a popular alternative to our  acrylic face mounts. Various substrates (e.g Dibond) can be used to mount any type of printed paper and in some cases original artworks.

Using a double-sided, acid-free adhesive film, your print is adhered securely onto an aluminium composite panel (i.e. Dibond), or other rigid or semi-rigid substrates.

If additional durability (i.e. UV and scratch protection) is required, your image is then laminated with one of our premium laminates. See Original Print Lamination.

All our wall display products are finished ‘ready-to-hang’ unless specified otherwise.

Substrates we use for our Dibond and art mounts are:

• Aluminium composite panels (i.e. Dibond)
• Foam PVC Boards (i.e. Forex)
• Foam Boards (e.g. Gator, Kapa)
• Screen Boards
• MDF

Chromasheen welcomes and responds to customer’s imagination and ideas and offers innovative and high-quality products whenever possible.

We are proud of each product that leaves our workshop and we want to make sure that our customers are delighted when receiving their finished, ready-to-hang masterpiece.

Each of these substrates comes in various thicknesses and has unique surface- (texture and appearance) and core- (stability and rigidity) qualities as explained below:

Aluminium Composite Panel – Dibond (3mm)

3mm Aluminium Composite is a combination of a dark plastic core with a thin layer of aluminium coated on each side. This archival mounting solution is perfect for very large pieces or touring exhibitions and due to its smooth surface, works perfectly with metallic or glossy prints.

Foam PVC – Forex (3mm)

Available in either black or white, this material is flexible, but tougher than both card and foamboard. This expanded PVC material is often used to keep prints flat within a frame but can also be hung directly to the wall.

Foam Core (5mm, 10mm)

Foam-Core is lightweight with a white centre core. It is often used to keep prints flat within a frame but can also be hung directly to the wall, just be aware that it can be effected by changing temperature and humidity, so take care where you hang the print.

Kapa board (5mm, 10mm, 20mm)

Kapa Board is extremely lightweight has a grey centre core with an aluminium foil liner to give it extra strength. With a smoother surface than Foam Core, it is often used to hang directly to the wall. On the 10mm or 20mm thick options we offer an optional black or white edging service to hide the grey core.

Screen board (2mm)

2mm Screen Board is our most cost effective mounting solution, it is very thin and lightweight, and can either be hung directly on the wall using Velcro or used within a frame. All cards have a slight texture, so gloss prints can lose the smooth look on this material.
