FAQs
What is the difference between using the mount and not using it?
Using the mount creates a border around your photo or artwork, giving it a more defined look and a classic appearance. Not using the mount allows your image to fill the frame (up to the edge of the plastic glass), offering a more minimalist or contemporary feel.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While technically possible if the frame depth allows, it is not recommended as the frame is manufactured with plastic glass in mind for safety and weight. Replacing it may alter the structural integrity or appearance.
What are the exact internal dimensions of the frame and the mount opening?
The product description does not specify exact internal dimensions, but the mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side than the frame's internal opening to secure the artwork.
How do I ensure my photo is secure inside the frame?
Ensure the photo or artwork is correctly positioned against the backing board or within the mount before securing the frame's backing. The mount itself helps to keep the artwork in place.
Is the white finish prone to yellowing over time?
The product information does not specify anti-yellowing properties for the white finish. It is advisable to keep the frame out of direct sunlight to minimize potential discoloration.
What is the weight of the frame?
The exact weight is not provided, but the use of plastic glass instead of traditional glass will make it significantly lighter than a comparable glass-fronted frame.
Troubleshooting
Frame arrives damaged
Contact customer support immediately with photographic evidence for a resolution.
Difficulty opening the frame backing
Gently use a flat-edged tool (like a screwdriver) to help release stubborn clips. Ensure you are not applying excessive force.
Dust or debris inside the frame
Open the frame backing, carefully remove the plastic glass, and clean both sides with a soft, lint-free cloth. Reassemble carefully.
Plastic glass appears cloudy or streaky
Ensure you are using a damp (not wet) cloth and a mild cleaning solution if necessary. Dry with a clean, soft cloth immediately after.
