Our Paper
About
Made from white, archival museum-quality material, its uncoated matte surface weighs in at 200 gsm/80lb, making it ideal for the fine art domain.
What distinguishes this paper from others is its impeccable color integrity, achieved by minimizing the use of optical brightener additives (OBA). This ensures the paper's natural white shade remains steadfast, regardless of lighting changes, and guarantees color consistency over time.
Prioritizing longevity, the paper benefits from advanced alkaline papermaking technology, making it entirely acid-free with a pH above 7. Additionally, the buffering process involving calcium carbonate acts as a shield, warding off potential acid compounds to prevent any yellowing or discoloration in the long run.
In our commitment to the environment, we source FSC-certified paper or its regional equivalent, championing sustainable forestry practices.
Do note that paper sizes slightly differ depending on the region: in the US and Canada, dimensions are in inches, while other regions use centimeters.
Packaging & Installation
When it comes to posters, we use different packaging (either flat, tube, tube with shipping roll, or triangular/rectangular box) depending on the size of the poster as well as the country where the item is produced and shipped.
This is based on our experience shipping orders worldwide and it is supported by our customer feedback which has helped us define the most efficient and damage-resistant ways to package our products
Wood Frame
About
The frames is carved from quality pine, are available in a palette of four: black, white, natural wood, and dark wood. Structurally, they're both robust and stylish with a thickness ranging from 20-25mm (0.79"-0.98") and a width between 10-14mm (0.4"-0.6").
One of the standout features is the use of shatterproof plexiglass. Transparent and durable, it guards the poster from potential harm while ensuring clarity is not compromised.
Oakhouse's framed posters are recommended for indoor use, seamlessly blending durability with aesthetic appeal, all tailored for the discerning art lover.
Packaging & Installation
When purchasing one of our framed prints, it's crucial to note a key detail: the posters are packed separately from the frames. They are meticulously placed inside an inner cardboard folder to ensure their protection. Because of this packaging method, it may initially appear that the envelope or packaging is empty or doesn't contain the poster.
Please be extra cautious and thoroughly check the packaging to avoid accidentally discarding the poster. This approach ensures that both the poster and the frame reach you in pristine condition. Therefore, upon receiving your order, inspect both components to make sure everything is as expected.
Metal Print
About
Constructed from durable aluminum, the frame sports a chic black finish. Its dimensions — approximately 20mm (0.8") in thickness and 10mm (0.4") in width — harmoniously marry durability with refined style. To further amplify the poster's longevity and aesthetic value, we've incorporated shatterproof plexiglass. Transparent and resilient, this layer safeguards the artwork beneath while preserving its vividness.
Packaging & Installation
We've designed our product with user convenience in mind. The posters are packaged separately in an inner paperboard. However, rest assured, piecing them together is straightforward and hassle-free.
The frames come pre-packed with corners and film and then packed in a box with strong edges to protect the frames. L-beams are used in addition, to give the package extra sturdiness.
Plexiglass used in frames may also carry a protective film but this is often applied to both the front and the back of the glass. This often has a blue hue to it. These protective films can be mistaken for scratches, bubbles, or a colored cast to a print/glass.
Acryllic Print
About
Transform any room with the multi-faceted charm and refined elegance of our acrylic pieces. They're lightweight, shatterproof, and resistant to temperature variations.
The artwork is meticulously printed directly onto the acrylic using a 7-color UV direct print method, resulting in vivid colors and a remarkable depth effect. Crafted with premium materials, our acrylic prints are designed to maintain their vibrant hues and sharp details over time. With a thickness of about 4mm (0.15"), each print seamlessly combines durability with a touch of finesse. And, to underscore their contemporary style, they're finished with straight-cut corners.
Packaging
We understand the importance of your print arriving in impeccable condition. That's why we've added a protective film over the print, safeguarding it from potential damages during transit. Once you've securely mounted the print on your wall, please peel off the protective film to unveil the true brilliance and quality of the image.
