Make a Statement with Photo Metal Prints

February 15, 2021 by Jeremy Lindy

Completely bare walls are usually a design no-no, so if you’ve got some space to fill then investing in some wall art is the obvious solution. But where to start? We recommend first deciding on the atmosphere you want to create – because you’ll need very different decor choices in each case. Do you want a cozy refuge, or an elegant space for entertaining? If it’s the latter, we can recommend a sleek and contemporary design classic: custom metal prints. Never heard of them? Then read on to learn more about this striking new decor trend.

What Is a Metal Print?

Metal has always been prized for its strength and versatility. And now it’s taken on yet another role – as a substrate for luxury photo prints. The production of a custom metal print is a multi-stage process. First the buyer’s own choice of digital photo image is printed on lab-quality photo paper. Then the photo paper is laminated onto a metal composite panel consisting of a jet-black featherlight core enclosed between a pair of aluminum sheets. Thanks to this ingenious composition, metal photo prints are slim and lightweight yet extremely durable.

Why Metal?

Why print photos on metal when there are plenty of good traditional alternatives? Printing on canvas, for example, is a popular choice for good reason, but sometimes canvas prints can feel almost too popular – you see them in private homes, cafes and offices. By contrast, metal photo prints have an exclusive appeal that can really make your photos stand out from the crowd. 

Metal photo prints don’t need to be framed. They come in a borderless design that leaves visible the silvery edges of the aluminum sheets, giving the prints a touch of contemporary glamor. The use of aluminum sheets or leaf are also known as high quality imitation silver leaf. The combination of pure black and metallic sheen at the edges of metal prints makes them ideal for loft-style apartments, or even edgier warehouse living with an industrial touch.

A Wall Art Solution that Lasts

Compared to many other photo print substrates, metal has superb durability. Your metal print will boast excellent resistance to scratches and moisture, and can even be displayed (in a sheltered position) out of doors. Metal prints are built to withstand household wear and tear such as the attentions of curious pets and toddlers. All in all, you can expect your print to last for many decades in the same superb condition it arrived in.

Classic Style Never Goes Out of Fashion

Metal photo prints have the exclusive appeal and the sheer quality to be the next sleeper hit of the interior design world. If you’re looking for a luxury decor statement in a striking contemporary style, a beautiful photo printed on aluminum is hard to beat. 

If you’ve got a picture that’s the perfect match for metal, just choose a respected photo printing provider such as CanvasDiscount.com and you can be assured of premium quality every time. Go to their online store now to find out more.
