There was once a time when having outdoor wall art was just not practical—whether that meant you had to encase your pictures in glass only to see it fog up throughout the day or watch as the colors in your picture slowly fade away due to too much sun exposure.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you that outdoor wall art does not have to be such a hassle the crowd goes wild! Ney… for now there are pause for dramatic effect METAL PRINTS!!!!!!!!!
In all seriousness, metal prints are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. “But why?” you may ask. Well, let’s start at the beginning.
Why Metal Prints Make for Great Outdoor Wall Art
Metal prints, as you may have guessed, are pictures that are printed (or rather infused) onto a sheet of metal. This results in a very resilient, vibrant, and, quietly literally, shining piece of art. Here’s why they make such good outdoor wall decor:
1. Waterproof
First off, metal prints are waterproof, so no matter rain or sleet, it will maintain its brilliance and will in no way be ruined. In fact, it will probably look better after a good soak.
2. Resilient
Next, it is both durable and scratch-resistant. So, if it happens to be hanging outside and does get knocked down by the wind or a stray ball, the image will likely come out of it unscathed.
3. UV-Resistant
Then there is the convenient fact that metal prints, at least the ones produced here, are UV-resistant, which helps prevent the image from fading over time due to the rays of the sun.
4. Mold and Mildew Resistant
Unlike a canvas print, you don’t have to worry about a metal print molding or developing an unpleasant odor.
5. Vibrant
When it’s sunny out, images often don’t look as vibrant as they would indoors. However, that is not the case with metal prints. If anything, their vibrancy increases in well-lit areas, and they even have a nice reflective quality to them.
Final Thoughts
With all that being said, if you want to spice up your outdoor area with some art, then having it printed on metal is a good idea. It ensures that your picture not only lasts but stays vibrant throughout its lifetime.
