Acrylic

Acrylic at Gulf Photo Plus — Hahnemühle-certified fine art printing and custom framing in Dubai. Walk-in consultation at Alserkal Avenue.

Acrylic glazing replaces glass with optical-grade PMMA. Lighter (roughly half the weight), shatterproof, and safer to ship — standard choice for large-format prints (≥ 1m on long edge), travelling exhibitions, and any installation where breakage risk is a real concern. Premium variants offer anti-reflective and UV coatings on request.

Reads visually similar to glass at normal viewing distance; slightly more prone to surface scratching over time.

Best for

  • Large-format prints (≥ 1m on long edge)
  • Exhibitions that travel or move frequently
  • Children's rooms (no broken-glass risk)
  • Installations in commercial / high-traffic spaces
