Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals looking to display photos, artwork, or certificates with a clean, modern aesthetic. The key benefit is the frame's versatility and quality UK manufacturing. A minor caveat is the use of plastic glass instead of traditional glass. The Metro White Frame offers a stylish, contemporary look with a 39mm wide and 15mm deep moulding, manufactured to high standards in the UK. It includes a plastic glass front and can be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation. A white core mount is provided, cut 3mm smaller on each side to ensure your artwork is not obscured.

FAQs
What material is the 'glass' made of?
The frame comes with a protective plastic glass front, which is safer and lighter than traditional glass.
Can I use this frame for A4 prints?
The compatibility depends on the exact internal dimensions of the frame and the size of your A4 print. While it comes with a mount, you can also use the frame without it for larger items. Please check the specific frame dimensions.
How do I clean the white moulding?
Wipe the frame moulding with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Does the frame come with wall-hanging hardware?
The frame is designed to hang portrait or landscape, and typically includes the necessary hardware for secure wall mounting.
What is the purpose of the mount?
The included white core mount helps to create a border around your picture or artwork, enhancing its presentation and preventing it from touching the plastic glass directly. It is cut 3mm smaller on each side to ensure the image edge is not exposed.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While it might be technically possible to source and fit real glass of the correct size, the frame is designed and manufactured with plastic glass in mind. Modifications may affect the frame's integrity or appearance.
What are the external dimensions of the frame?
The external dimensions are determined by the moulding width (39mm) and the size of the artwork/photo it is designed to hold, plus the frame itself. Specific external dimensions would depend on the size variant of the frame (e.g., for an A4 image).
Troubleshooting
Frame backing is difficult to open
Gently use a flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool to carefully lift the securing clips on the back of the frame.
Plastic glass is smudged or dirty
Wipe the plastic glass with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, use a cloth lightly dampened with water or a specialized plastic cleaner. Ensure no harsh chemicals are used.
Frame does not hang straight
Ensure the hanging hardware is securely attached and level. Adjust the nail or hook on the wall as needed.
Mount doesn't fit correctly
Double-check that you are using the correct size mount for your image and that it is oriented correctly within the frame. The mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side to fit properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Carefully open the back of the frame to remove the protective backing.
- If using the mount, place your image onto the mount as desired. If not using the mount, place your image directly onto the plastic glass.
- Position your image and mount (if used) carefully within the frame.
- Replace the backing and secure it firmly.
- Attach the hanging hardware to the back of the frame according to your desired orientation (portrait or landscape).
Compatibility:
- This frame is designed for standard photo and artwork sizes. Ensure your item, with or without the mount, fits within the internal dimensions of the frame.
- The frame moulding width is 39mm and depth is 15mm.
Care:
- To clean the frame, wipe the moulding with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Clean the plastic glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth. A mild plastic cleaner can be used if necessary, but avoid ammonia-based cleaners which can damage the plastic.
