Crystal Acrylic Art: "Innovative Artistic Imaging for Modern Spaces"

What is Crystal Acrylic Art?
We take a high grade piece of acrylic and reverse mount a Giclee print or direct print on it's backside, cutting holes in each corner. We flame polish the sides and add 4 x stainless steel or acrylic standoffs to hang your acrylic art on the wall. A leading edge contemporary design that sets new standards in the décor market.
There are a number of different methods of creating Crystal Acrylic Art.

Reverse Mounting Crystal Acrylic Art
Reverse mounting involves a high resolution image being digitally printed on special high grade photographic paper, using long life archival inks. The image is heat mounted under extreme pressure to the reverse side of 6 - 10mm crystal acrylic using 100% optically clear adhesive, providing the perception of increased depth,visually dramatic
and beautiful.

The finished artwork is mounted to the wall using the provided 4 x stainless steel, chrome or acrylic standoffs (spacers). This allows your image to stand away from the wall by approximately 25mm, giving it a sleek modern and ultra stylish finish. This will be the centre of attention. Suitable in areas of low light conditions,graffiti can't even deface the image.

Direct Print Crystal Acrylic
This acrylic wall-art is produced using state of the art flatbed printing technology. The printing process creates a layer of long lasting ink. The image is inkjet printed directly to the reverse of the acrylic and flooded with a screen-white UV layer pulling out the color and details in the photograph. The image is then cured, using UV lights. This alleviates the need for lamination, sealing or a back plate, making it 100% waterproof. Each acrylic art print comes with 4 x stainless steel or acrylic standoffs. Suitable in areas of low light conditions.

Semi Transparent Crystal Acrylic Art
The areas of the artwork that appears white on paper will appear clear on the acrylic. The printing is done directly on the backside of the acrylic, letting the white parts of the image to be absent. The light shines through creating a moody interesting piece. The ambient light replaces the white element of the image. The light interacts with the image, which is therefore back-lit creating almost a 3D effect. The process is particularly effective for the display of monochrome or minimalist photographs as the white background is replaced by the crystal clear background of the acrylic. The translucent quality of the material creates a visual impact that enhances any surroundings.

Artworks Acoustic Panels

Traditionally, sound absorbing panels provided an improvement in the listening and speech environment of a room while adding typical aesthetics. Now acoustic panels can be customized with images. Art, graphics, personal pictures, logos, motivational quotes and many other types of images can elevate the acoustic panels to be more aesthetically pleasing and decorative. This opens up limitless design possibilities to transform any interior environment.

The images are printed by a special dye-sublimation process on polyester acoustically transparent fabric which meets building codes. The printed fabric is then wrapped around sound absorptive rigid fibreglass producing a gallery wrap finish. Standard panel sizes are 2'x2', 2'x3', and 2'x4' in standard 1" and 2" thicknesses. Custom size panels can be manufactured along with wall murals.

The size and shape of the panel needs to reflect the image form with it being wrapped around all sides. Art images can be chosen from various sources - our online gallery at www.perrinphotoart.com or from www.istockphoto.com/perrinphotoart.php (and get 10% off a purchase of 50.00 or more) or submitting personal digital images in the appropriate format.
