Acrylic mounted photos have become one of the most popular modern display options for photographers, artists and homeowners who want stunning, durable wall art. Unlike traditional framing, acrylic mounting gives your images a glossy, professional finish that lasts for decades without yellowing or fading.  

At Just Picture Framing Online, we create acrylic photo panels using premium materials and precise craftsmanship, giving your prints the same vivid depth you’d find in a gallery.

Why Choose Acrylic Mounted Photos Over Traditional Frames?

 

When comparing acrylic mounted photos to glass frames or canvas prints, the difference is clear — literally. Acrylic enhances every detail while protecting the image from dust, moisture and UV damage.

1. Exceptional Clarity and Colour Depth

Acrylic is optically clearer than glass, allowing colours to pop and details to shine through. The glossy surface intensifies contrast, making your images appear almost three-dimensional. This clarity is why many professionals now prefer acrylic photo panels for exhibitions and interior décor.

2. UV and Moisture Resistance

  Unlike paper prints or canvas, acrylic mounted photos are sealed to resist humidity and sunlight. Whether displayed in bright living rooms or office spaces, your image stays crisp and vibrant without warping or fading over time.

3. Lightweight and Shatter-Resistant

  Acrylic is lighter and far stronger than glass, making it safer for high-traffic areas or family homes. Even large prints can be hung securely without risk of glass breakage or damage during transport.

4. Clean, Frameless Look

  For modern interiors, acrylic mounting offers a sleek, minimalist look. The photo is mounted directly to a clear acrylic sheet with polished edges, giving it a floating effect that complements contemporary spaces beautifully.

 

How Acrylic Mounted Photos Extends the Life of Your Photos

Preserving your artwork is about more than appearance, it’s about longevity.

Sealed for Protection   Each acrylic panel forms an airtight seal around your image, keeping out dust and pollutants. This makes acrylic photo panels ideal for busy households or commercial environments where durability matters most.

Fade-Free Finishes   High-grade UV inhibitors in the acrylic protect against sunlight exposure. Even after years on display, your photo will retain its original vibrancy and tone.

 

Perfect for Homes, Offices and Galleries

  Acrylic mounted photos are as versatile as they are beautiful. Their clean presentation suits:  

• Home interiors and modern living spaces
• Office receptions or boardrooms
• Art exhibitions and photography displays
• Retail or hospitality fit-outs

They’re also available in multiple sizes and thicknesses, making them easy to customise to your space and style.      

How to Clean and Maintain Acrylic Mounted Photos

Keeping your acrylic panels looking their best is simple:  

1. Wipe gently with a microfibre cloth.
2. Use mild, non-ammonia cleaners.
3. Avoid abrasive pads or paper towels that could scratch the surface.

With minimal care, your acrylic mounted photos will continue to look pristine for year
