Product Information
Full details
This Scandi-style ornate modern frame in black is ideal for art enthusiasts and home decorators seeking a high-quality, versatile framing solution. Its key benefit is its adaptability, allowing for both portrait and landscape orientation and use with or without the included mount. A minor consideration is the use of plastic glass, which while durable, may not offer the same clarity as real glass for some users.

FAQs
What material is the 'glass' made of?
The frame uses durable plastic glass, which is shatter-resistant and lighter than real glass.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While the frame is designed for plastic glass, it may be possible to source and fit real glass of the exact same dimensions. However, this is not officially supported and may affect the frame's integrity.
What are the exact dimensions of the frame moulding?
The frame moulding is 46mm wide and 20mm deep.
How is the mount cut?
The mount is cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard and is sized to be 3mm smaller on each side than the opening, ensuring a slight overlap on the artwork.
Can the frame be used outdoors?
This frame is designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the material and finish.
Does the frame come with hanging hardware?
Yes, the frame is equipped for hanging and can be oriented in either portrait or landscape modes.
What is the 'Scandi ornate' style?
Scandi ornate refers to a design that blends the clean, minimalist principles of Scandinavian design with subtle, elegant ornate detailing.
Troubleshooting
Frame does not hang straight
Ensure the hanging hardware on the back of the frame is securely attached and level. Adjust wall hook or nail placement as needed.
Difficulty fitting artwork
Double-check the dimensions of your artwork against the frame and mount size. Ensure the backing board and mount are correctly seated before closing the frame.
Plastic glass appears cloudy
Remove the protective film from both sides of the plastic glass. If smudges persist, clean gently with a damp microfiber cloth.
Mount does not fit correctly
Verify that the mount is oriented correctly and that your artwork is positioned underneath it as intended. The mount is designed with a slight overlap.
