How to Hang and Care for Metal Prints: A Simple Guide
· CaptivMart
Metal prints are rigid aluminum panels, so they hang flat on the wall or lean on a shelf with no frame needed. Keep them indoors, out of direct sun, and clean them with a soft, dry cloth. That is all the care a CaptivMart metal print or photo panel needs.
Do metal prints need a frame?
No. Each print is a rigid aluminum panel, so it stays flat without a frame or glass. Our 12×18 wall prints and Night Squad posters arrive ready to hang, and metal photo panels can hang on a wall or stand on a shelf.
Where should I hang a metal print?
Indoors, on a wall away from direct sunlight. Indoor use is recommended for panels and prints. Living rooms, offices, gaming setups and garages are all popular spots. For a set like the Night Squad, line up the prints at the same height so they read as one gallery wall.
How do I hang a metal print straight?
Measure first and mark the wall lightly in pencil. Aim for the centre of the print at about eye level, use hardware suited to your wall type, and check with a level before you let go. For a group of prints, keep the gaps between them equal.
How do I clean a metal print?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. That is the care we recommend for all our metal pieces. Because the image is infused into the coating rather than printed on top, it won't peel or scratch off easily with normal cleaning.
Can metal prints go outside?
Panels and prints are made for indoor use. Our metal plates and signs are weather-resistant, but they also last longest out of direct sun. For an outdoor spot, a garage sign or license plate is the better fit.
