Product Information
Full details
This Metro Black Frame in Grey is ideal for anyone looking to stylishly display photos or artwork with a modern aesthetic. Its key benefit is its versatility, allowing for both portrait and landscape orientation and use with or without the included mount. A minor consideration is that it uses plastic glass, which offers durability but may have a different look than real glass.

Troubleshooting
Frame backing is difficult to close
Ensure the image and mount are lying flat within the frame and not interfering with the backing closure.
Plastic glass appears smudged or cloudy
Clean the plastic glass using a soft microfiber cloth and a cleaner suitable for plastic surfaces. Ensure no dust is present before wiping.
Mount does not fit the image correctly
Double-check the dimensions of your image and compare them with the opening size of the mount. Ensure the image is correctly positioned within the mount's boundaries.
Frame feels loose on the wall
Ensure you are using appropriate wall fixings for your wall type and that the frame's hanging hardware is securely attached.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Open the frame backing by releasing the clips or tabs.
- If using the mount, place your image onto the back of the mount, aligning it carefully.
- Position the matted image (or just your image if not using the mount) onto the frame backing.
- Carefully place the plastic glass over your image/mount.
- Reattach the frame backing, ensuring it is secure.
- Close the backing clips or tabs.
Compatibility:
- Image Sizes: Compatible with various image sizes depending on whether the mount is used. The mount is designed to accommodate images where the visible area is approximately 27mm x 27mm less than the outer mount dimensions (which are cut to fit the frame). Refer to the frame's internal dimensions for exact fit.
- Orientation: Supports both portrait and landscape display.
Care:
- Frame: Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Plastic Glass: Clean gently with a microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a cleaner specifically designed for plastic or acrylic surfaces, applied to the cloth, not directly onto the glass.
