diasec

Diasec is the established and patented process to face-mount photographs onto a Perspex acrylic sheet invented by Heinz Sovilla-Brulhart in 1969. The image side of a traditional photographic print (digital C-type) is bonded directly to clear cast acrylic, the properties of which allow for a clearer and sharper image compared to normal glass. The Diasec bonding liquid contains a UV filter and is resistant to fungicidal, bacterial agents and airborne pollutants increasing the longevity of the print. The photograph is then backed with an aluminium sheet to reinforce the panel and allow for a custom made aluminium subframe to be attached which can then be hung directly on the wall. It will appear to float off the wall as the support is hidden from the edges. A matt acrylic finish is also available.

photograph mounted on aluminium

Traditional photographic prints (digital C-type) are mounted onto a 1.5mm sheet of aluminium. Often considered the best method to mount a traditional photographic print since the aluminium has a perfectly smooth and flat surface. All prints are coated with a UV seal to reduce harmful UV light damaging the print. A custom made aluminium subframe is attached to the back to hang directly onto the wall, which will give the appearance of the print floating off the wall.
