Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone looking to display photos or artwork with a modern, stylish frame. The Metro White Frame offers a high-quality, UK-manufactured solution that can adapt to various display needs. Its primary benefit is versatility, allowing for portrait or landscape orientation and use with or without the included mount. A minor caveat is the use of plastic glass, which is durable but may not offer the clarity of real glass.

FAQs
What material is the 'glass' made of?
The frame uses durable plastic glass, which is lighter and more shatter-resistant than traditional glass.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While modifications are possible, the frame is designed for plastic glass. Replacing it may affect the fit and integrity of the frame.
What are the external dimensions of the frame?
The external dimensions depend on the specific size of the frame purchased. The moulding itself is 39mm wide and 15mm deep.
How do I choose the correct frame size?
Select the frame size that matches the dimensions of your artwork or photograph. If using the mount, ensure your image fits behind the mount opening.
Can the mount be removed permanently?
Yes, the frame can be used without the included mount if preferred.
Is this frame suitable for outdoor use?
No, this frame is designed for indoor use only.
What is the warranty on this frame?
Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information for details on coverage and duration.
Troubleshooting
Frame appears warped or uneven
Ensure the artwork/photo is evenly placed and not pushing unevenly against the frame. Re-secure the backing to ensure a snug fit.
Plastic glass has smudges or streaks
Clean gently with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Mount does not fit perfectly
The mount is designed to be 3mm smaller on each side to hold the image. Ensure you are placing the image correctly behind the mount opening.
Hanging hardware is difficult to attach
Use appropriate hanging hardware for the frame's weight and wall type. Pre-drilling small pilot holes may assist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Open the rear of the frame by releasing the securing clips or tabs.
- If using the mount, place it onto the backboard.
- Carefully position your photo or artwork onto the mount (or backboard if not using the mount), ensuring it is centered and secure.
- Replace the backing and secure the rear of the frame.
- Attach appropriate hanging hardware (not included) to the back of the frame, considering whether you will hang it portrait or landscape.
- Hang the frame on your desired wall.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most standard photo and artwork sizes that fit within the frame's internal dimensions (considering mount usage).
- Recommended for prints and photos where the clarity of plastic glass is acceptable.
Care:
- Clean the plastic glass with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels, which can scratch the surface.
- Wipe the frame moulding with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust or smudges. Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent damage to the frame and artwork.
