Yes, the artwork is UV resistant. You can hang it in a
conservatory or in a place with a lot of sun.
Each Piece of Art has two hooks on the back with a steel wire stretched between them. This way you don't have to attach the work with two screws and you can hang the work on 1 screw. Because there are many different types of walls, we do not supply screws or plugs. Don't know what to use? Ask at a hardware store what is needed for your wall. Or a handy acquaintance of course ;)
When hanging the work, it is important that you do not grab the artwork at the top, but at the sides. If used carelessly, the top can come loose.
We advise against using an adhesive nail and hanging the artwork with a fixed connection such as a screw hook or hanging system.
Yes, round artworks are made without a frame.
Everything we make is custom, so that is certainly possible. Because deviating artworks do not fall within our process, we make a quote for this based on your wishes.

Maintenance
Water has no effect on the material. However, prolonged exposure to a very humid environment will eventually cause the material to wear out. We also do not recommend hanging the artwork in the bathroom or other humid space.
The material can be cleaned, but it is always better to make sure that the work does not get dirty. If it does happen, you can find some tips here. Read them completely before you start, so that you follow the correct steps.
o Alcoholic beverages | Let blotting paper soak up the liquid. Then clean with a pH neutral dishwashing liquid and water.
o Blood | Wash with cold water. Not removed enough? Clean with a pH neutral dishwashing liquid and water
o Fruit juices | Try to remove excess fruit. Then clean with pH neutral dishwashing liquid and water.
o Vegetables | Wash with cold water. Not removed enough? Clean with a pH neutral dishwashing liquid and water.
o Ink stain | Let blotting paper soak up the liquid. Clean this with 20% denatured alcohol. Then clean with a pH neutral dishwashing liquid and water.
o Chewing gum | Freeze the chewing gum using cooling elements. Scrape the frozen chewing gum from the panel. Not removed enough? Clean it carefully with white spirit.
o Coffee | Let blotting paper soak up the liquid. Then clean with a pH neutral dishwashing liquid and water.
o Paint | Water-based: clean with a pH-neutral detergent and water.
o Paint | Turpentine base: Clean with turpentine, then clean with a pH neutral dishwashing liquid and water.
Other cleaning tips
o Try to clean the stain as soon as possible while it is still damp.
o In most cases, first clean the dirt with a pH-neutral dishwashing liquid in water.
o Try to clean the material by dabbing, do not scrub/rub.
o Use a clean cotton cloth, not colored cloths.
o In case of dust, vacuum the dust with a vacuum cleaner.
o Once you have cleaned the material with a cleaning agent, clean the panel with a damp cloth without cleaning agent.
Acoustics
The works of Pieces of Art are made of a material that also dampens acoustically. This material contributes to better acoustics in the space due to its dampening properties.
The material has an average acoustic effect of 0.55 NRC. For comparison: an open window is equal to 1. With an open window all the sound disappears. The material ensures that 55% of the sound is absorbed.
Fire resistant
The material has a B1 certificate. This is the European standard and indicates that the material is flame-retardant and fire-retardant. It is therefore also suitable for use in public areas.
We believe it is important to contribute to a better world for everyone. That is why we donate 1% of our turnover to the Ronald McDonald Children's Fund.
