Product Information
Full details
The Metro Frame in Red is for individuals and businesses seeking a stylish, modern framing solution manufactured in the UK. Its key benefit is its versatility, allowing for portrait or landscape orientation and use with or without a mount. A minor caveat is the use of plastic glass, which may appeal less to those seeking traditional glass.

FAQs
What are the exact external dimensions of the frame?
External dimensions vary based on the artwork size the frame is designed for. Please refer to the specific product listing for exact measurements.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While not standard, some users may be able to source and fit standard glass of the correct size. However, this is not officially supported and may affect the frame's integrity or weight.
What is the purpose of the mount being cut smaller?
The mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side (6mm total width and height reduction) to ensure that the edges of your artwork are held securely behind the mount's aperture, preventing it from slipping.
Is the red colour a deep or bright red?
The 'Red' colour family typically refers to a standard, vibrant red. For precise shade confirmation, please refer to product images or contact customer support.
How do I clean the frame moulding?
Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the frame. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying with a soft, dry cloth.
Can this frame be wall-mounted?
Yes, this frame is designed to be wall-mounted and can be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation.
Troubleshooting
Frame does not close properly
Ensure artwork and mount are not too thick for the frame depth. Check that rear fasteners are correctly aligned and fully secured.
Plastic glass appears scratched
Gently wipe the plastic glass with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. If damage is significant, replacement plastic glass may be required.
Mount does not fit artwork as expected
Verify that the artwork's dimensions are compatible with the inner aperture of the mount. The mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side to hold the image securely.
