Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals looking to frame photos, artwork, or certificates with a modern, stylish white frame. The key benefit is its versatility and high-quality UK manufacturing. A potential consideration is that it includes plastic glass, not traditional glass. The Metro frame offers a 39mm wide x 15mm deep moulding, comes with plastic glass, and can be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation. It also includes a mount cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard, designed to be 3mm smaller on each side to ensure image edges are not exposed.

FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the frame?
The external dimensions depend on the specific size of the frame ordered, but the moulding itself is 39mm wide and 15mm deep.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While not designed for it, it may be possible to find a piece of real glass cut to size. However, ensure it fits securely and does not compromise the frame's structure or safety.
What size photo does the mount accommodate?
The mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side to hold the image securely. For example, if you order a frame with an A4 mount, the visible aperture for your photo will be smaller to ensure the edges are hidden.
Is the mount included with every frame?
Yes, the frame comes with a mount cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard.
Can the frame be used for items other than photos?
Yes, this frame is suitable for artwork, certificates, posters, and other flat items that fit within the frame dimensions.
How do I clean the frame?
Wipe the frame with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For the plastic glass, use a soft, damp microfiber cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
Where is this frame manufactured?
The Metro White Frame is manufactured in the UK.
Troubleshooting
Frame back is difficult to open
Gently use a flat-head screwdriver or similar tool to carefully pry open the retaining clips on the back of the frame.
Plastic glass appears smudged
Clean the plastic glass with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Ensure the cloth is not too wet and dry immediately.
Image does not fit correctly with the mount
Ensure you are using the correct size mount for your image. The mount is designed to be 3mm smaller on each side, so measure your image and compare it to the available space within the mount opening.
Frame does not hang straight
Check that the wall hook or nail is level. Ensure the hanging hardware on the frame is securely attached and centered.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Carefully open the back of the frame to remove any protective film from the plastic glass.
- Place your photo, artwork, or document into the frame, either with or without the included mount.
- Ensure your item is centered and properly aligned.
- Secure the back of the frame.
- Attach the hanging hardware (if not already included) and hang in your desired orientation (portrait or landscape).
Compatibility:
- Suitable for standard paper sizes that fit within the frame dimensions (with or without the mount).
- The mount opening accommodates images typically 3mm smaller than the stated mount size (e.g., for an A4 mount, the visible image area will be suitable for an image around 28.7cm x 19.7cm).
- Ensure your artwork or photo does not exceed the frame's depth capacity.
Care:
- Wipe the plastic glass gently with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Clean the frame moulding with a slightly damp cloth. Dry immediately.
- Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of artwork and discolouration of the mount.
