Product Information
Full details
This Metro Black Frame is designed for individuals seeking a stylish and modern way to display photos or artwork. Its key benefit is its versatility, allowing for both portrait and landscape orientation and use with or without the included mount.

What are the dimensions of the frame moulding?
The frame moulding is 39mm wide and 15mm deep.
How is the mount cut?
The mount is cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard and is made 3mm smaller on each side compared to the frame opening, ensuring the edge of your image is not exposed.
Can I hang the frame in any direction?

Where is this frame manufactured?

How should I clean the plastic glass?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting image or mount
Ensure the frame back is fully opened or removed. Check for any debris obstructing the frame rebate. Ensure the image and mount are correctly aligned and not exceeding the frame's internal dimensions.
Plastic glass appears smudged or dusty
Gently clean the plastic glass with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth and ensure it is dried thoroughly afterwards. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Frame does not hang straight
Ensure the hanging hardware on the back of the frame is securely attached and level. If using a wall hook or nail, confirm it is installed straight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Metro Black Frame is simple. Ensure you have your image or artwork ready. If using the mount, place your artwork face down on a clean surface, position the mount over it, and then carefully place the plastic glass on top. Insert your image and mount into the frame. Secure the back of the frame. The frame can be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation using the integrated hanging mechanism on the back. It is compatible with most standard prints and photographs that fit the frame size. To care for the frame, gently dust the frame moulding with a soft, dry cloth. For the plastic glass, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to clean, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could cause scratching. Always ensure the frame is completely dry before displaying.
