Product Information
Full details
The Frames By Post Scandi Frame in Black is designed for individuals seeking a modern yet classic way to display their cherished photos or artwork. Its key benefit lies in its high-quality UK manufacturing and versatile design, allowing for both portrait and landscape orientation and optional mount usage. A minor caveat is the use of plastic glass, which offers durability but may not provide the same clarity as traditional glass.

FAQs
What are the exact external dimensions of the frame?
The external dimensions will depend on the specific size of the frame you purchase. The moulding itself is 46mm wide and 20mm deep.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While the frame is manufactured to hold plastic glass, it may be possible to replace it with a custom-cut piece of real glass. However, this is not a standard feature and may alter the frame's weight and balance.
How is the mount cut?
The mount is cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard. All mounts are cut 3mm smaller on both sides than the size of the picture they are designed to hold, ensuring the edge of your image is not exposed when framed.
Does the frame come with hanging hardware?
The frame is designed to hang portrait or landscape, implying integrated hanging points or the ability to add them depending on the specific size and model.
What is the warranty period for this frame?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information for details regarding this product, as warranty periods can vary.
Can I use this frame for diplomas or certificates?
Yes, this frame is suitable for diplomas and certificates, especially when using the included mount for a professional presentation.
Troubleshooting
Frame won't close properly
Ensure no excess material from the artwork or mount is obstructing the clasps. Check that the backing board is seated correctly.
Artwork appears dusty or has debris
Carefully open the frame and clean the inside of the plastic glass and the surface of the artwork with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Plastic glass has minor scuffs
Gently buff the area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper scratches, consider purchasing a replacement plastic glass panel.
Mount is not fitting correctly
Verify that you are using the correct side of the mount and that it is aligned properly within the frame's rebate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To insert your artwork, gently open the back clasps of the frame. Remove the backing board and place your artwork face down on top of the plastic glass. If using the mount, place your artwork behind the pre-cut aperture. Ensure the artwork is correctly aligned. Replace the backing board and secure the clasps. The frame is ready to be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation using the integrated hanging points.
Compatibility: This frame is designed to hold standard-sized artwork or photographs. The mount is cut to accommodate images where the visible area is 6mm less in width and height than the frame's internal dimensions. It is compatible with both paper prints and standard photographic paper.
Care: Clean the plastic glass with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic surface. For the frame itself, a dry or slightly damp cloth is recommended. Ensure the frame is completely dry before re-inserting artwork to prevent moisture damage.
