Perspex Reverse Mounting

 		  
       
 

 

This type of acrylic glass mounting is a high quality specialised mounting technique that is constructed to order by skilled crafts people.   This type of mounting should not be confused with a cheaper, mass production technique whereby the mounted photograph is attatched to the wall using 4 aluminium bolts in each corner.  The Reverse Perspex Mounting technique that I provide has no such intrusive bolts, and the mounted photograph is the highest quality c-type print.  The photograhic image provided with  these cheaper products are transfered onto the acrylic, which provides a lower quality image. 
PERSPEX REVERSE MOUNTING

Perspex Reverse Mounting is one of the most impressive ways of presenting a modern and striking photographic image.

Once the finished piece is hung on the wall it is sleek and minimal, with no visible wall fixings, which gives the appearance of the artwork 'floating' from the wall.   

The photograph is bonded to clear acrylic glass using silicon gel ensuring an airtight seal with no creases or bubbles, the print is then mounted onto a solid aluminium substrate.  The result is a completely flat mount of the photograph that is sandwiched between clear acrylic glass and an aluminium backing.

The combined light penetration and refraction of the acrylic glass produces higher image definition, brilliant colour and a fine detailed texture. This superior clarity cannot be achieved with ordinary glazing methods.

It is these qualities that has made this form of mounting very popular with art galleries.

The finished piece is supplied ready to hang on the wall, eliminating the need for a picture frame. 

The mount is signed and - where appropriate - numbered.  The artwork is signed  and numbered on stickers attatched permanently to the back of the mount.

Signed Certificate provided, which contains edition information plus a description about the photograph 

The mounted photograph is hung onto the wall using 9mm MDF battens or 12 x 8 inch.  All larger sizes are supplied with a 20mm aluminium subframe.  (see bottom of this web page for a description of wall hanging systems).
