The plexiglass we use is the best of quality. Whether you re exposing your piece to indoor or outdoor UV light, UV can significantly degrade the quality of any artwork or document when left over time. Our plexiglass UV-protection keeps out the damage caused by the sun''s rays. It is resistant to Ultra-Violet (UV) light.

When you mount your paintings on a plexiglass at Smoothgift, you will be adding a new dimension to your paintings. The mounting process which incorporates use of special double-sided optical clear silicon adhesive ensures that the reproduced prints is firmly glued to the back of the plexiglass leaving no strips, air-bubbles nor silvering. What you get is a highly transformed paintings with vibrant colours and enhanced fine details. A centre piece for any room.

To send us the photo you would like to mount please do one of the following:
- Upload your photo/image files (also scanned images) to us from this website (in 'quot;Available Options'quot; below) or
- send it to us by email or
- If your file is on CD/DVD contact us (please use the contact form 'quot;Ask a question about this product'quot; just above the products images on this page) for the address to send it to by post.

After we receive your files or prints, your photo will then be printed on a professional highly glossy Kodak photo paper.

The printed photo is then mounted with a special double-sided optical clear silicon adhesive vinyl behind the Glass so that you can now see your paintings through the Glass. Now the image looks so real and vibrant.

Print Resolution:
Most photo editing file formats such as .PSD, BMP,TIFF, PDF, JPG, PNG, are accepted.

Most of the time, images can be enlarged from their original low resolution (small) size to the required bigger size. To ensure excellent quality, photos and scanned images are advised to be in the Minimum Prints resolution.

The rule of thumb with required Minimum Prints resolution is to use the professional standard of 300 pixels/inch for resolution. This is our recommendation.

Mounting VS printing
Why mounting is better than printing: Compared to directly printing on perpex and other substrates, our process produces a much better quality because the image is first printed (in a professional photo lab) on a high quality photo paper. The special double-sided optical clear silicon adhesive vinyl used for mounting is ultraviolet UV resistant. So is the plexiglass block. The mounting system and the UV resistance attribute help to ensure that the image mounted on to the plexiglass is protected as well as retains its quality over many years. Direct printing on plexiglass lacks this quality.

Engraving and Gilding
If your order involves engraving and or gilding, you would be sent an image of the texts and artwork to be engraved or gilded by email for your approval before engraving. We will not engrave your work until you have given us your consent to do so.

Smoothgift offers both Sandblasting engraving and Hand engraving methods. Sandblasting engraving is a true form of art. It is the most versatile form of engraving and as such, it requires specific skill set. It is distinct from other form of engraving like computer controlled form of engraving (e.g. cnc engraving, laser engraving, etc). With sandblasting engraving, no two engraved pieces are ever exactly the same.

Hand engraving is the most authentic form of engraving. It is almost as versatile form of engraving as sandblasting engraving. It shows character and just like sandblasting engraving, no two engraved pieces are ever the same.

See more about our different engraving methods in 'quot;help'quot;. Both engraving methods are perfect for texturing on all hard surfaces. While sandblasting cannot achieve deep engraving only on steel and metal surfaces, deep engraving and carving can be achieved with hand engraving or with a combination of sandblasting and hand engraving on steel, plexiglass, glass, acrylic, metals, woods, stones and on almost all other hard surface objects. The result is usually stunning and impressive.

Mounting and EngravingMounting and Engraving processes

Smooth-Mountain Award is made of highly polished Plexiglass (chemically known as Poly methyl methacrylate - PMMA) is often used as a light or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. Plexiglass is 10 times stronger than glass, weights half the weight of glass and it is up to 17 times more impact resistant than glass

Plexiglass was first brought to market in 1933 by Rohm and Haas Company in Germany (Now called Evonik Industries Germany), under the trademark Plexiglas? It has since been sold under many different names including Lucite, Perspex and Plaskolite. Smoothgift uses Plexiglas?.

Plexiglass transmits up to 92% of visible light and filters ultraviolet (UV) light at wavelengths below about 300 nm.. These attributes along with its attractiveness, durability and resistance to warping make it an ideal interior and exterior sign and displays material.

Cleaning and maintaining Plexiglass is relatively easy. Always make sure that you are using a soft, clean cloth. First, blow the dust or dirt off, or use water and a soft cloth to float the dirt off. A mild solution of dish-washing detergent and warm water takes off stubborn dirt easily without doing any harm. Never, ever, use cleaners containing ammonia. Thus, cleaners such as Windex or 409 will harm your piece of Plexiglass. Use only products specifically recommended for cleaning Plexiglass such as Novus, Plexiclear or Brillianize etc.

Fine scratches on Plexiglass can be removed with a mild abrasive polish. Heavier scratches, such that you can feel with your fingernail, will require some extra efforts to remove with a bit of sanding and buffing. These services are available at Smoothgift.
