Mounting instructions

How to Mount Your MagnetArt

Everything you need to hang your print comes in the box. No drill, nails or tools required. Follow the four steps below.


What's in the Box

Your print arrives with its own magnetic mount. Aluminium itself isn't magnetic, so the mount does the holding.

  • Front and back of a MagnetArt aluminium metal print

    Your aluminium print

    Your photo, sublimation-printed on a 1 mm aluminium panel.

  • Metal photo print with magnetic mounting system including wall protector and strong magnet for easy installation

    The magnetic mount

    A strong magnet for the back of the print, and an adhesive base for the wall.

Step by step

Mount Your Print in Four Steps

    • Clean
    • Dry
    • Smooth
    • Dust-free
    01

    Clean the Wall

    Choose a clean, dry, smooth spot such as a painted wall, wood, glass or tiles. Wipe away any dust so the adhesive can stick properly, and decide where you want the print to hang.

  1. 02

    Attach the Magnet to Your Print

    Peel the backing from the magnet and press it firmly onto the back of your print.

  2. 03

    Stick the Base to the Wall

    Peel the protective layer from the adhesive base and press it firmly onto the wall for a few seconds, where you want the print to hang.

  3. 04

    Place Your Print

    Bring the print to the base and the magnets hold it in position. To straighten it, lift it off and place it again.


Before You Start

The mount sticks with adhesive, so the wall matters. Check these first.

  • Clean, dry, smooth surfaces

    Painted walls, wood, glass and tiles work best.

  • Rough or textured walls

    Avoid bare brick, render or heavily textured finishes, where the base may not hold.

  • Press firmly

    Press the adhesive base firmly onto the wall for a few seconds.

  • Not sure about your wall?

    Please contact us before you mount and we'll help.


Moving, Removing and Care

Good to know once your print is up.

  • Repositioning

    The print lifts off the base to straighten or reposition it. Moving the base itself means removing the adhesive.

  • Removing the base

    How any adhesive comes away depends on your paint and wall. We can't promise removal without marks on every surface, so if you're renting or your paint is delicate, check with us (and your landlord) before mounting.

  • Changing prints

    Planning to put a different print on the same base? Please contact us first and we'll confirm what's compatible.

  • Caring for your print

    Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scourers and rough cloths.
