Recommendation: If hanging near a window or lights you can use the UV protected matte in order to avoid reflections. The matt ever so slightly tones down the colour where as the glossy has a vibrant punch. Therefore some people are happy to print the glossy with the reflection. I personally prefer to avoid the reflections.
Acrylic glass or Plexiglass is lightweight, shatterproof and resistant to temperature variations. The plexiglass photo print considerably increases the quality of your photo choice: the brilliance of the colours is enhanced and the effect of depth accentuated. 4mm is the gallery standard and the most popular choice but if you want a more discrete photo you might choose 2mm and for a deep 3D effect you might prefer 6mm. Combined with the three-ply Aluminium Dibond back panel, acrylic glass gives your photos great stability. The different materials are sealed together by durable elastic silicone: it is flexible and absorbs the shock caused by the various expansion processes of the materials in the event of temperature variation. The Crystalline acrylic glass is 4mm thick and has a durably elastic photo print & silicone 3mm Dibond Aluminium Plate. This is a hard wearing, quality feeling product that has really high impact, especially at larger sizes.

Recommendation: Glossy in darker locations and Matte if near a window or light to avoid reflections. The matt tones down ever so slightly the colour where as the glossy has a vibrant punch. Therefore some people are happy to accept the glossy with the reflection.
Silisec® is a process used for face mounting photographs on acrylic glass.
Because the print is ”glued” to the acrylic glass, the result is a completely flat mount of the image.
The whole process is dedicated to mounting the print without air bubbles or smears.
For the reverse, we use 3mm Dibond® or anodised aluminium.
All Silisec® prints are equipped with an aluminium back-frame that allows the work to be hanged.
The frame is hidden and it leaves the picture floating from the wall.
