Frequently Asked Questions ?

Generally, metal art only needs the occasional dusting to keep cobwebs or dust from gathering. Use a dry, soft cloth to lightly rub off dust. It is emphasized that the cloth should be soft and clean, as a dirty or grimy rag will only cause damage.

To remove fingerprints, first remove any dust from the work to reduce the chance of scratching the metal art with loose grains. From there, use a diluted spray detailer, which can be obtained at an auto parts store, to gently wipe off the fingerprints.


Regular artwork without customization may be returned as long as it is not damaged and in it's "like new" condition. Customer is responsible for any and all return shipping costs. After receiving the item back we will inspect for any damage. If damage is found, we will contact the customer and discuss before any refund is issued. Once we've cleared the item the due refund will be refunded less any damage fees and the original shipping costs to the customer.

Art by Design will pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).

You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in most cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).


Special dyes are printed onto a transfer paper and then infused into a patented coating under pressure and heat.


Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of a metal print. Your image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum. The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back. The wooden frame includes a hanging wire for easy mounting on your wall (see photo on the left). All metal prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with mounting hooks and nails. Metal prints are extremely durable. They're lightweight. They won't bend, and they're water resistant. The high gloss of the aluminum sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
