Photo on wood

Photo on wood at Decorateondemand.co.uk

Wood wall art has become very popular in recent years and can be found in homes up and down the country. Don’t miss out; make sure your photo on wood makes your wall looking good. Before you order a print of a photo on wood, it’s important that you know something about the different types of wood first so you can make an informed choice. Decorateondemand.co.uk. supplies personalised products printed on the following types of wood:

Photo on plywood

When you order a photo on plywood, or photo on MDF, your photo is printed on a single wooden panel. This is the option without separate pieces of wood, which means there will be no seams visible in your photo. Plywood also has little structure, with almost no knots in the wood and only a few fine lines of woodgrain visible. The colour of the wood is slightly warmer than the other options, so we recommend you order a layer of whitewash under your photo. This involves the application of several white layers of paint to your plywood panel, which will result in a sharper photo. This service costs 22% extra on the standard price of the format you have chosen. Our plywood panels can be made from different types of wood. For example, you can have a photo printed on birch wood or poplar wood to hang in your home. Plywood is very strong, lightweight, and above all incredibly good value. Plywood is our number one budget material; personalised prints cost from just £13.95. Photos can be printed on various different sizes of plywood, but the panels are always 1 cm thick.

Photo on spruce

Spruce is our most popular type of wood, which makes sense considering its attractive, natural appearance. Spruce wood prints are made from multiple planks, each 10 cm wide and 2 cm thick. The boards are attached to each other at the back with a perpendicular slat. There is a seam between each plank. Spruce is planed on four sides, but the grain and knots remain visible. If you want this structure to be less visible in your image on wood, you can order a layer of whitewash under your photo. This involves the application of several white layers of paint to your plywood panel, which will result in a brighter photo. This service adds 22% to the standard price of the format you have chosen. If you order a print of your photo on this type of wood, you’ll be glad to know we only use sustainable spruce with the FSC or PEFC quality mark. For just £23.95, you can have a photo on spruce in your home.

Please note: wood is a natural product, and expands and contracts under the influence of humidity and temperature. The gaps between the boards can become larger or smaller due to this contraction or expansion.

Photo on ayous

Ayous is probably the least known type of wood we use. This is a shame, because prints on ayous reproduce colours faithfully and look beautiful. Ayous is a whitish wood with virtually no wood structure. The relatively few knots and grain are subtly visible, making this a great type of wood to print photos on. Details of your photo are perfectly visible, and a print on ayous is always neatly finished. Because ayous is a highly resilient hardwood, it’s also perfectly suited for placing outside under a roof. This type of wood is not prone to warping, and can withstand all types of weather. This is an advantage when you compare this product with a photo on spruce, which is not resistant to different types of weather. The UV print is resistant to fading. When ayous is used for printing, it is again in the form of separate planks. You can choose from vertical or horizontal planks, but remember that the gaps between the planks always remain visible. The planks are 2 cm thick, and the length is cut to the size you choose for your personalised wood print. A photo on ayous costs from £25.95.

Photo on wooden block

Finally, you can also have your photo printed on a woodblock. For more information on this option, please see our special photo on woodblock page.

Finishing and photo editing

When you order a photo on wood, you can edit your photo online after uploading it. At first, you can choose to provide your photo on wood with a whitewash underlayer. A wood print with whitewash means grains and knots are less visible and is highly recommended for photos with faces. The white parts of the photo are printed along with the rest of the image, resulting in a high-resolution print with brilliant colours. This involves the application of several white layers of paint to your plywood panel, which will result in a sharper photo. We are charging an additional fee of 22% of the price of your chosen format for this service. If you decide to have your photo printed on wood without whitewash, the white parts in your photo will not be printed. These parts will be the same colour as the wood, and the wood structure will be more clearly visible through the print. Grain and knots are more obvious, while the print loses some sharpness and becomes slightly darker. Besides the whitewash finish option, you can also choose to have your photo printed in black and white or sepia. It is possible to add text to your photo, so you can even hang a text on wood on the wall. Finally, we are also ablte to print a beautiful photo collage on wood for you. After uploading a photo, our designers will contact you to make sure your collage on wood looks perfect.
