Product Information
Full details
This Metro frame in white is ideal for anyone looking to showcase photographs or artwork with a clean, modern aesthetic. Its key benefit is versatility, allowing for use with or without the included black mount to suit various image sizes and display styles. A minor caveat is the use of plastic glass, which is less reflective than traditional glass but offers enhanced durability.

FAQs
What are the exact external dimensions of the frame?
The frame moulding is 39mm wide by 15mm deep. The exact external dimensions will depend on the size of the print the frame is designed for. Please refer to the specific product size options for detailed measurements.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While not designed for it, experienced users may be able to adapt the frame for real glass. However, this would void any warranty and may affect the frame's integrity.
What is the size of the black mount's aperture?
The mount is cut 3mm smaller on all sides than the intended picture size to ensure the image is held securely and completely covered. Specific aperture sizes correspond to the frame size chosen.
How is the frame secured to the wall?
The frame typically comes with a pre-fitted hanging mechanism on the back, suitable for hanging on a nail or screw. It can be oriented for portrait or landscape display.
Is the white finish matte or glossy?
The finish is a clean white, typically a matte or satin finish common in modern framing, providing a subtle and elegant look.
Can I order a frame in a different colour?
This specific product is the Metro White Frame in White. Please check the brand's other offerings for different colour options.
Troubleshooting
Frame appears warped or doesn't close properly.
Ensure artwork and mount are flat and not too thick. Re-center artwork and check backing board is seated correctly before closing clips.
Plastic glass has smudges or fingerprints.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or paper towels.
Hanging hardware seems loose.
Check if the hanging mechanism on the back of the frame is securely attached. Tighten any screws if applicable, or ensure clips are properly engaged.
