Product Information
Full details
The Metro Frame in Grey is designed for individuals seeking a stylish, modern way to display their photos or artwork. Its key benefit is its versatile design, allowing for both portrait and landscape orientation and use with or without the included mount. A potential caveat is the use of plastic glass, which may not offer the same clarity or protection as traditional glass.

FAQs
What material is the glazing made of?
The frame uses plastic glass, which is a durable and safer alternative to traditional glass.
Can I hang this frame in either direction?
Yes, the Metro Frame is designed to be hung in both portrait and landscape orientations.
What are the dimensions of the frame moulding?
The frame moulding is 39mm wide and 15mm deep.
Is the mount included, and how is it sized?
Yes, a 1.3mm white core mountboard is included. It is cut 3mm smaller on each side than the frame opening to ensure the edge of your image is not exposed.
How should I clean the plastic glass?
Clean the plastic glass gently with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels to prevent scratching.
Is this frame suitable for children's rooms?
Yes, the use of plastic glass makes it a safer option for areas where breakage could be a concern.
Where is this frame manufactured?
The Metro Frame is manufactured in the UK.
Troubleshooting
Frame appears warped or uneven.
Ensure the backing board is seated correctly and evenly, and that the securing clips or tabs are all properly fastened. This can help to square up the frame.
Plastic glass has smudges or streaks.
Clean the plastic glass with a soft microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a cleaning solution specifically designed for plastic or a very dilute mixture of water and mild soap, then wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Image is not sitting flat within the frame.
Check that the mount (if used) is correctly positioned and that the image is placed flat against it or the backing board. Ensure the frame backing is securely fastened to apply even pressure.
The mount doesn't fit properly.
Confirm that you are using the correct mount for the frame size and that it is oriented correctly within the frame.
