Product and Alu Dibond backing
What is a photo print on Alu Dibond?
An Alu Dibond photo print is a photograph printed on a rigid backing composed of two thin aluminium plates around a composite core. This backing offers a contemporary, sleek, and durable finish, particularly suitable for wall decoration.
On AluArtMountains, Alu Dibond enhances Alpine landscapes: peaks, snow, lakes, glaciers, forests, ridges, sunsets, and grand mountain panoramas.
Why choose Alu Dibond for a mountain photograph?
Alu Dibond is particularly suited for mountain photo prints thanks to its rigidity, its sleek, frameless appearance, and its excellent longevity. It allows for creating a striking wall decoration without visually cluttering the room.
- contemporary and elegant finish;
- rigid and durable backing;
- matte finish limiting reflections;
- hanging system adapted to the ordered format;
- suitable for living rooms, chalets, offices, and professional spaces;
- ideal for Alpine landscapes and large formats.
Are the photographs offered real?
Yes. The photographs offered on AluArtMountains are taken from real shoots in the mountains. They are not generated by artificial intelligence.
Each image represents a real place, photographed during a field trip, under specific lighting, seasonal, and atmospheric conditions.

Is the print finish matte or glossy?
The prints offered by AluArtMountains have a matte finish. This finish limits reflections and accurately reproduces the contrasts, textures, and colors of Alpine landscapes.
It is particularly suitable for bright living rooms, chalets, offices, and rooms with large windows. To achieve the best rendering, however, avoid placing the print directly opposite a bay window or a very intense light source.
Formats and print selection
How to choose the right photo print size?
The right format depends on the wall size, available viewing distance, furniture, and desired effect. For a small wall, a medium format may suffice. For a large living room wall, above a sofa, in a stairwell, or in a chalet, a large format will generally have more impact.
Generally, a print should be large enough to structure the wall without appearing lost in space. If you're unsure, you can send a photograph of your wall to get personalized advice.

Which format to choose above a sofa?
Above a sofa, a horizontal format generally works very well. The goal is to create visual continuity with the furniture, without the print appearing too small relative to the width of the sofa.
Open Alpine landscapes, ridgelines, lakes, and sunsets are particularly suitable for this use.
Which print to choose for a chalet?
For a chalet, photographs of snow, peaks, forests, alpine lakes, or warm lights enhance the mountain atmosphere without appearing too busy.
Alu Dibond also creates an interesting contrast with wood: it maintains the alpine identity of the image while bringing a more contemporary and sleek finish.

Which print to choose for an office or professional space?
For an office, waiting room, clinic, hotel, or professional space, prioritize a clear, elegant, and calming image. Large panoramas, snowy landscapes, alpine lakes, and black and white photographs often offer a particularly sleek and professional look.

Is it possible to request a wall simulation?
Yes. You can send a photograph of your wall to get advice on choosing the image, format, and orientation.
This simulation is particularly useful for a large wall, a chalet, an office, a stairwell, or a professional space.
Order and manufacturing
Are the prints made to order?
Yes. AluArtMountains photo prints are made to order. This approach avoids unnecessary production and allows for offering several formats adapted to different interiors.
Does the print come with a hanging system?
The prints are offered with a hanging solution adapted to the ordered format, in accordance with the information provided on the product page.
Before installation, always check the wall type and use fasteners compatible with plasterboard, concrete, brick, wood, or stone.
Is it possible to order a custom format?
For certain images and projects, a custom format can be considered. Its feasibility depends on the source file, framing, proportions of the photograph, and desired rendering.
For a custom project, chalet decoration, a large wall, or a professional space, provide the wall dimensions and, if possible, a photograph of the room.
Is it possible to purchase a photograph for professional or editorial use?
Yes. Certain photographs can be subject to rights transfer for professional, editorial, tourism, institutional, or commercial use.
Conditions depend on the image, the medium used, the duration of use, the territory concerned, and the scope of the project.

Delivery and reception
What are the delivery times?
Delivery times depend on the country of delivery, the chosen format, the time of year, and the time required for manufacturing.
As each print is made to order, a production time must be added to the shipping time. For a gift, installation in a chalet, or a professional project with a specific date, it is recommended to anticipate the order.
Do you deliver to France, Switzerland, and Europe?
Yes. Prints can be shipped to France, Switzerland, and several European countries, depending on the options available for the format and delivery address.
Applicable delays and costs are specified during the order. For a large format or a specific destination, you can contact AluArtMountains before purchasing.
What should I do if the print arrives damaged?
If the print arrives damaged, immediately photograph the package, packaging, protections, and the print.
Then quickly contact AluArtMountains, providing your order number and attaching the photographs so that the situation can be reviewed.
Installation and maintenance
How to install an Alu Dibond photo print?
Before installation, check the weight of the print, the type of wall, and the hanging system provided for the ordered format.
For a large format, take precise measurements, use a spirit level, and choose fasteners adapted to the surface: plasterboard, concrete, brick, wood, or stone. In a chalet, on an uneven wall, or for a large print, installation by two people is preferable.
How to maintain an Alu Dibond photo print?
A soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient to dust the print. Avoid abrasive products, solvents, rough sponges, and aggressive cleaners.
To preserve the finish, also avoid permanent exposure to high humidity, excessive heat, or very intense direct sunlight.
Can an Alu Dibond print be installed in a bright room?
Yes. The matte finish limits reflections and is suitable for bright rooms.
However, it is still preferable not to place the print directly opposite a bay window or in an area receiving prolonged direct sunlight. A side wall or indirect light will generally offer better visual comfort.
Returns, warranty, and trust
Is it possible to return a photo print?
Yes. For prints offered in standard catalog sizes, you have a period of 14 calendar days after receipt to exercise your right of withdrawal.
This right does not apply to truly personalized or custom creations, for example, a format not in the catalog, a photograph provided by the client, or a retouch specifically made at their request.
Direct return costs due to a change of mind remain the responsibility of the client. Before any return, contact AluArtMountains to obtain the appropriate instructions and address.
Consult the complete return and refund policy
What if you're unsure between several photographs?
You can request personalized advice. Ideally, provide a photograph of the room, the wall dimensions, the dominant colors of your interior, and the desired ambiance: snow, sunset, black and white, alpine lake, grand panorama, or a more graphic image.
