Why We Choose Aluminium for Our Fine Art Photography Artwork Editions
Whilst offering our customers a choice of traditional printing surfaces such as: Baryta, Giclee, Canvas and Acrylic - we now choose aluminium Dibond and brushed aluminium surfaces almost exclusively for presenting our fine art photography.
Why? Quite simply, we believe aluminium is currently the finest substrate available for showcasing fine art photographic work—particularly larger images—and is ideally suited to today’s contemporary homes and workspaces.
In recent years, aluminium has emerged as the modern standard among discerning collectors, galleries, and interior designers seeking a sleek gallery quality presentation that is both contemporary and enduring.
Aluminium substrates are superb for presenting fine-art photography; they are rigid yet lightweight, non-reflective - yet have an attractive luminance, resistant to moisture, warping, and temperature fluctuations, and offer exceptional clarity, depth, and luminance. The result is a striking visual presence with long-term stability.
Aluminium Dibond provides a smooth, matte sheen, glare-free surface with outstanding tonal accuracy and consistency. It is ideal for crisp, refined imagery and large-scale works that complement modern interiors.
Brushed Aluminium introduces a subtle metallic sheen that interacts beautifully with light, enhancing highlights and whites. This surface adds a gentle warm or cool glow, creating a distinctive and contemporary aesthetic.
All Cloud 9 Editions aluminium artworks are produced in collaboration with our associate world-class professional laboratory. Each image is printed directly onto 3 mm aluminium panels and UV-cured to ensure archival quality and exceptional longevity. Artworks are finished with aluminium or wooden frames and supplied ready to hang.
Our fine art limited editions on premium aluminium possess a distinctly contemporary presence—valued not only by collectors. galleries and interior designers, but by anyone seeking wall art that combines modern sophistication with lasting visual impact.
Each Cloud 9 Editions aluminium-based photographic print is not just a work of art, it’s a museum-quality artwork designed to be enjoyed and admired for generations.
