Common questions

Everything you need to know

Yes — both come ready to hang. Canvas arrives with a wooden frame and hanging hardware included. Acrylic glass comes with a flush wall mount system that gives it a clean, floating look. No tools needed beyond a hammer and a nail.
The same design will look slightly different depending on the material. Acrylic glass enhances colour depth and contrast, making the image appear more vivid and luminous. Canvas gives a softer, warmer tone that feels more like a traditional painting. Both use the same printing technique and will not fade over time.
Our acrylic glass prints are made from 5mm thick acrylic — sturdy, lightweight and far more resistant to breakage than regular glass. It is safe, durable and easy to clean with a soft cloth. Every order is packaged with protective foam corners to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
We recommend acrylic glass for rooms with moisture or steam, such as bathrooms and kitchens. The acrylic surface is non-porous and easy to wipe clean, whereas canvas can be more sensitive to humidity over time in poorly ventilated spaces.
Every Atora Gallery piece is carefully packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Canvas prints are wrapped and boxed with corner protection. Acrylic glass prints are packed with foam padding and protective film on the surface. You can remove the film before hanging.
