The Plaque Art Process
Dry-mounting
LaminART mounts all images onto medium density
fiberboard (MDF) using various types of acid free
adhesives. Dry mounting is a method by which heat is
applied and the adhesive activates and bonds the
print to the substrate, in this case the MDF.
Laminating
The
thin laminate film is applied to the surface once
the print is dry-mounted to the MDF. The laminate
also uses heat to seal down onto the print. It is
rated to 80% UV protection and has a matte finish to
it (non-glare). The matte finish is more scratch
resistant than glossy laminates and it is also
highly water resistant. Therefore, damp cloths may
be used to clean and dust the finished product.
Edge Colours
The
process is not complete until the edge colour has
been applied. This beveled edge is applied to the
edge of the MDF, accenting the print and the various
colours within it. The finished product is a
transformed print ready to hang as art on your wall.
The process is designed to last for a lifetime and
the cost is a fraction of traditional framing.

The Plaque Art Styles
Lite
The lite is the standard
plaque mount on 3/8" medium density fiberboard (MDF).
It is mounted, laminated, and then the coloured edge
and bevel is applied.
|
 |
Float
The float is similar to the
Lite in that it is mounted onto MDF and then
laminated and the edge colour and bevel is applied.
The difference in this is that the image is mounted
onto 1/4" MDF and then a 3/4" frame is mounted onto
the back. The frame is 2" inside the outer
dimensions of the image board and can be hung on the
wall from the frame. This gives the 3D illusion of
the image "floating" off the wall.

 |
Lux
The
Lux is a "larger than life" version of the Lite.
This product has a finished size of 1" thick rather
than the 3/8" thickness of the Lite. In order to
limit the weight of the piece, the image is mounted
onto a 1/4" board and a 3/4" frame is mounted flush
to the edges of the image. The coloured edge and
bevel is then applied to give the image a big bold
finished look.

Lex
The Lex is a prestigious way
to finish certificates and photos. This process has
two boards, both finished with laminate, a bevel,
and edge colour. The first board, the base, is a
3/8" board with a mat paper mounted to it. This
board is bigger in size, typically 3" giving a 1.5"
border of mat paper visible all around, than the top
board which holds the image. The top board has the
image mounted to it and is 1/4" thick to reduce the
overall weight.
