Not sure which mounting style is right for you? Here's a quick look at all five options.
Standoffs are metal hardware posts that hold your print a short distance away from the wall, creating a sleek floating effect. Popular for acrylic and metal prints where a modern, clean look is the goal.
Wood stands let your print sit upright on a desk, shelf, or mantle without any wall hardware at all. A great option for smaller prints you want to display and reposition easily.
A French cleat is a two-piece interlocking bracket — one piece attaches to the wall, the other to the back of your print. The result is a clean, flush hang that's easy to level and remove without tools.
Slim aluminum frames give your print a sharp, professional edge with a contemporary feel. Lightweight and durable, they work especially well with large metal and acrylic prints that require a sturdy brace.
Custom 3D printed blocks mount directly to the back of your print and hold it slightly off the wall for a subtle floating effect. A unique, lightweight option available in a variety of sizes.
Wall vs. freestanding
Standoffs, French cleats, aluminum frames, and 3D printed blocks all mount to the wall. Wood stands are freestanding and require no wall hardware at all — ideal for shelves, desks, and mantles.
Floating effect
Standoffs and 3D printed blocks both hold your print away from the wall to create a floating look. French cleats and aluminum frames sit flush against the wall for a more traditional hang.
Ease of installation
French cleats are the easiest to hang, level, and remove — no tools needed once the wall piece is up. Standoffs and aluminum frames require a bit more precision during installation.
Best for
Standoffs — acrylic & metal prints. Wood stands — smaller prints & desktops. French cleats — easy wall hanging. Aluminum frames — modern framed look. 3D printed blocks — lightweight floating display.
