Photo Blocks is the latest wall decoration product from Profotonet. It is a high-quality and versatile product that you can use in many ways in your interior. It fits on a small wall, but you can also fill a large wall by hanging several next to each other.

And if you have no wall space left at all, you can choose the free-standing version. Profotonet allowed me to try out a 40x50 centimetre wall decoration with Fuji Lustre (matt) paper. This cost 56.93 euros, including delivery.

What are Photo Blocks?

A Photo Block is a real photograph mounted on a stylish foam block. Your photo is printed on quality photographic paper, with a choice of around 11 paper types. You choose the photographic paper that best suits your photo. Because the photo is first printed on photographic paper, there is no loss of quality.

The actual photo print is mounted on a 25 mm-thick foam block. This block is lightweight and not sensitive to changes in temperature. The side of the block is neatly finished with a black MDF finish. This gives the Photo Blocks a stylish, clean look, making it a beautiful product for any interior.

Photo wall

Photo Blocks are ideal for creating a unique photo wall. You choose your favourite photos and can order several sizes. You can hang them playfully or neatly next to each other to build your photo wall. The wall is never really finished, because when you have new, beautiful photos, you can order more Photo Blocks and expand your wall.

Or you can replace a Photo Block, whatever you prefer. This means you can vary endlessly, so your interior never gets boring.

Painting

If you do not have space for an extensive photo wall, you can also order just one size and hang it on your wall as a painting. The Photo Block creates a lovely sense of depth because the photo sits slightly further forward due to the thickness of the foam block. This really makes your photo stand out.

Photo frame

If you really do not have any wall space left, and you are not keen on standard photo frames, you can order a 20x30 Photo Blocks with a holder to display the photo. This is another special way to brighten up your interior.

Hanging system

There are several holes on the back of each Block, so you can easily hang the Photo Blocks from screws or nails. The smaller sizes also come with a holder so you can stand the Photo Blocks up.

My experience

I am very enthusiastic about the product! The quality is really very good, the colours are beautiful and the photo is mounted very neatly on the block. It is very lightweight and you see little reflection.

This means you can also hang the Photo Block in a bright, sunny spot without annoying reflections stopping you from viewing parts of the photo. I think the price is reasonable, considering the high quality of the product.

I am also enthusiastic about the software, the customer service and the ordering process. This Photo Block makes a lovely gift, for example for Father's Day. It is also great that you can order several Photo Blocks and create a complete photo wall.

Interesting. The question is how to choose the right type of paper.
