Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals looking to stylishly display photographs or artwork. The Metro Dark Grey Frame offers a modern aesthetic and high-quality UK manufacturing, with the flexibility to hang either portrait or landscape and use with or without its included mount. A minor caveat is the use of plastic glass, which while durable, may not offer the clarity of real glass.

FAQs
What are the outer dimensions of the frame?
The outer dimensions will depend on the specific size of the frame you purchase, but the moulding itself is 39mm wide and 15mm deep.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While modifications are possible, the frame is designed with plastic glass. Replacing it with real glass may alter the weight and balance, and require different securing methods.
How is the mount sized?
The mount is cut 3mm smaller on both sides than the aperture it covers, ensuring the edges of your image are not exposed when framed.
Does the frame come with hanging hardware?
The product description does not specify that hanging hardware is included. You may need to purchase suitable fixings for your wall type separately.
What is the colour of the frame?
The frame is a dark grey colour, belonging to the Grey colour family.
Is this frame suitable for children's rooms?
Yes, the plastic glass makes it a safer option than frames with real glass, reducing the risk of breakage and injury.
Troubleshooting
Frame backing is difficult to close.
Ensure the artwork/photo and mount are positioned correctly and lying flat within the frame. Gently push down on the backing board before re-securing the fasteners.
Plastic glass appears smudged.
Clean the plastic glass with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a cleaner specifically designed for plastics, applying it to the cloth first, not directly onto the glass.
Frame does not hang straight.
Ensure the hanging hardware attached to the frame is level and securely fastened to the wall. Adjust the position of the hanging hardware on the frame if needed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Modern and stylish design suitable for contemporary interiors.
- Manufactured to high standards in the UK, suggesting quality and durability.
- Flexible display options with portrait/landscape orientation.
- Includes a mount for a professional presentation of artwork or photos.
- Shatter-resistant plastic glass offers enhanced safety.
Cons
- Plastic glass may not have the same optical clarity as real glass.
- The frame's depth and width might be too substantial for very minimalist aesthetics.
- No explicit mention of wall-mounting hardware included.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Carefully unpack the frame to avoid scratching.
- Decide whether to use the included mount. If using the mount, gently remove the backing and place your image on it. Ensure the image is secured to the mount backing if necessary, without covering the visible area.
- If using the mount, place the matted image into the frame, ensuring it sits flat.
- If not using the mount, place your artwork or photo directly into the frame.
- Replace the backing board and secure it using the frame's built-in fasteners.
- Attach appropriate hanging hardware (not included) based on your chosen orientation (portrait or landscape) and wall type.
Compatibility:
- Image Sizes: Compatible with standard photo and artwork sizes, accommodating both with and without the provided mount. The mount is designed to fit common print dimensions, with its inner aperture sized to reveal the core image area.
- Orientation: Suitable for both portrait and landscape display.
- Wall Types: Ensure you use appropriate fixings for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick).
Care:
- Frame: Wipe the frame clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Plastic Glass: Clean the plastic glass gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. A mild plastic cleaner can be used if necessary, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, which can damage plastic.
