I've used Dibond through work a while back and a couple things come to mind.
-The edges can be sharp if not dressed correctly.
-They are aluminum, so if you were planning on using magnets to hold them up, you will have to glue some mating magnets on the back.
-Mounting hinges will most likely require hardware to be visible on the front side.

For those that don't know what Dibond is, its a polyurethane core sheeted with aluminum. If comes finished with a dozen colors and is weather proof.
If i recall correctly, they come in 4' x 8' sheets and are 1/8" thick.
