Our materials

Choose the material that suits you

At Mantawall we print your design on two high-quality materials. Each with its own properties and benefits. Read below which one best fits your project.

Premium choice

Dibond: Aluminium composite

Dibond is the best-selling material at Mantawall, and for good reason. It consists of two thin aluminium sheets with a sturdy, lightweight plastic core in between. This results in a panel that is extremely strong yet surprisingly light. The matte surface absorbs light subtly, making your photo or design look photographically perfect, without any reflective glare.

Dibond is exceptionally well suited for humid spaces. It doesn't dent, doesn't warp and withstands temperature fluctuations. Whether you're placing a wall panel in the bathroom, kitchen or toilet: Dibond stays beautiful for decades. Thanks to the UV-resistant coating, your print won't fade even after years of sunlight.

Alternative choice

Sign Again: PVC Foam Board

Sign Again is a premium white PVC foam board with a closed-cell structure. It is lighter than Dibond and therefore easier to handle with larger panels. The smooth, hard top layer absorbs ink perfectly and delivers sharp, vivid prints with vibrant colours.

This material is the ideal choice for drier spaces such as kitchens, bedrooms or offices. The 4 mm thickness provides sufficient rigidity for wall mounting without warping. Sign Again is a durable alternative for indoor applications with professional print quality.

Why Sign Again?

Light & manageable

Finished PVC foam board that is easy to lift and transport.

Moisture resistant

Closed-cell structure keeps moisture out, perfect for kitchens.

Vivid print

Smooth surface produces sharp, vibrant colours with direct printing.

5 mm thick

Sturdy enough for wall mounting without warping.

Scratch-resistant top layer

Protects your design against daily use and cleaning.

15+ year lifespan

Durable for indoor applications with normal use.
