What is Dibond Mounting?

Dibond, an aluminium composite, is comprised of two ultra-thin 0.3mm aluminium panels sandwiched around a polyethylene core. Dibond is lightweight, rigid and will not delaminate or warp due to the material’s low thermal expansion – making it a perfect permanent mounting solution for photographs or artwork.

We can produce Dibond mounts in sizes up to 2 997 x 1 828mm (118 x 72 inches).

For a frameless finish, each completed Dibond mount is supplied with an Aluminium sub-frame – making it easy to hang and providing additional rigidity and support against warping.

Why should I choose Dibond Mounting?

Dibond provides a very rigid yet optically flat panel, making it a perfect photographic mounting material. Mounting on Dibond gives you all the advantages of aluminium but with a significant weight saving –  making it ideal for mounting larger photographic prints without any bowing.

The aluminium subframe, mounted to each finished Dibond mount provides a visible space between the mounted work and the wall, giving a 3 dimensional ‘floating’ presence to your photographs or artwork.
