FAQs
What material is the 'glass' made of?
The frame comes with durable plastic glass.
Can I hang this frame horizontally and vertically?
Yes, the 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.
Does the mount cover the edges of my picture?
The mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side, meaning it will overlap the edge of your image by approximately 1.5mm on each side to ensure the image is held securely and its edges are not exposed.
Where is this frame manufactured?
This frame is manufactured in the UK.
How should I clean the frame?
Use a soft, damp cloth for the plastic glass and a dry or slightly damp cloth for the frame moulding. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I use this frame for very thick items?
The frame is designed for standard prints and photos. The 15mm depth of the moulding might limit its suitability for very thick items.
Troubleshooting
Frame appears warped
Ensure the backing board is securely fastened and not overtightened, which can cause slight bowing. Check if the frame was stored improperly before purchase.
Plastic glass is scratched
Gently clean the surface with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For deeper scratches, replacement plastic glass may be necessary, though this is not a standard repair service.
Mount does not fit image correctly
Verify the image size and the frame's internal dimensions. The mount is designed to overlap the image edges slightly; ensure your image is not too small for the intended overlap.
Hanging hardware feels loose
Ensure all screws or fixings for the hanging hardware are tightened securely. If the frame itself is damaged, contact the manufacturer.

Care:
- To clean the plastic glass, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can scratch or damage the plastic.
