Overview
Walk into almost any luxury hotel lobby in Dubai. Or a premium office in Business Bay. Or a well-designed restaurant in JBR. Chances are, there's an acrylic print on the wall somewhere - and chances are, it's stopping people mid-step.
That's what good acrylic printing does.
At Art Smiley Biz, we've been delivering premium acrylic prints across Dubai and the UAE for years. We work with homeowners, interior designers, hospitality groups, corporate clients, healthcare facilities, and everyone in between. If you've got an image - a photograph, a piece of artwork, a company logo - we'll put it on acrylic in a way that genuinely turns heads.
What Is Acrylic Printing?
It doesn't look like a poster. It doesn't look like a canvas. It looks like the image is inside the material. Which is kind of wild, honestly, and it's why so many interior designers in Dubai reach for acrylic first.
Here's the simple version. Acrylic printing
also called plexiglass printing or UV printing on acrylic - is the process of printing a high-resolution image directly onto a clear or frosted acrylic sheet. The result is a glossy, vibrant, almost three-dimensional piece of wall art that catches light differently at different times of day.
Why Clients in the UAE Love Acrylic Prints
First, the clarity. You don't lose a single detail. Photos printed on acrylic look sharper and more vivid than virtually any other medium. The colours pop. The contrast is deep. And if you've got a high-res image, the print quality is genuinely gallery-level.
Second, durability. Acrylic is scratch-resistant. It doesn't warp. It won't yellow over time the way some print materials do. For a region like the UAE - where sun, humidity, and air conditioning create tricky conditions for wall art - acrylic holds up better than most alternatives.
Third, it looks premium without necessarily costing a fortune. Interior designers in Dubai use it all the time because it gives a high-end finish at a price point that makes sense for commercial projects.
I've had clients ask me this
"why acrylic and not canvas?" And honestly, it comes down to a few things.
Our Acrylic Printing Options
We don't do one-size-fits-all here. At Art Smiley Biz, we offer a full range of acrylic print formats - each suited to different spaces and purposes.
We also handle custom acrylic photo prints - personal photographs, family portraits, pet portraits, you name it. And our face mount acrylic prints use the Diasec method to bond the image to the back of the acrylic for maximum depth and clarity.
Standard Acrylic Prints
clean, frameless, mounted flush to the wall. Perfect for modern interiors that don't want anything fussy.
Framed Acrylic Prints
an acrylic print inside a sleek frame. Black, white, metallic, or custom colour - whatever matches your space.
Backlit Acrylic Prints
LED lighting mounted behind the acrylic creates a glow effect that's absolutely stunning in restaurants, reception areas, and hospitality spaces. These consistently get the most attention.
Standoff Mount Acrylic Prints
the print floats a few centimetres off the wall, creating a shadow that adds depth. Very popular in corporate offices and gallery-style interiors.
Layered Acrylic Art
multi-layer printing that creates an actual three-dimensional effect. Statement pieces. Not subtle, not trying to be.
Large Format Acrylic Prints
we go big. Full wall installations, oversized feature pieces, panoramic cityscapes. We do all of it.
Split/Multi-Panel Acrylic Prints
one image divided across multiple panels. Great for wide walls and architectural spaces.
Sizes, Thickness & Installation
We print on 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm acrylic sheets. Thinner sheets (2-4mm) are lightweight and cost-effective. Thicker sheets (8-10mm) have a substantial, gallery-quality feel. We'll help you pick the right one based on your space and budget.
As for installation
we handle that too. We provide all the fixtures, fittings, and mounting hardware, and our team installs across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, and the wider UAE.
Who We Work With
Hotels, restaurants, hospitals, real estate developers, corporate offices, retail brands, schools, government institutions, and homeowners. We've worked with some of Dubai's most recognised names - and we bring that same level of attention and quality to every single order, regardless of size.
