Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals looking for a high-quality, versatile black frame. The key benefit is its modern Scandi design combined with UK craftsmanship, suitable for both hanging and standing, with or without a mount. A minor caveat is the mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side, which may require slight adjustment for some artwork.

FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the frame?
The external dimensions will depend on the specific size of the frame you purchase. The moulding width is 46mm and the depth is 20mm.
Can I replace the glass with acrylic?
While the frame is supplied with glass, it may be possible to fit acrylic if cut to the precise dimensions required for your frame size.
What is the size of the mount opening?
The mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side than the frame size it is intended for. For example, a mount for an 8x10 inch frame would have an opening of approximately 7x9 inches.
Is the frame suitable for very thick items?
The frame has a depth of 20mm, making it suitable for standard prints and artwork. It may not accommodate very thick or 3D objects.
How do I ensure my artwork is centered in the mount?
Carefully position your artwork behind the mount opening before securing the frame backing. Using a ruler or measuring tape can help ensure even spacing.
Can I hang the frame without the mount?
Yes, the frame can be used with or without the included mount. Simply leave the mount out when assembling the frame.
What material is the mount made from?
The mount is made from 1.3mm white core mountboard.
Troubleshooting
Frame backing is difficult to open
Gently use a flathead screwdriver or a coin to twist the securing clips. Avoid forcing them.
Artwork does not fit perfectly with the mount
The mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side. For a snug fit, you may need to secure the artwork to the mount backing using archival tape or slightly trim the artwork edges.
Glass arrived chipped or scratched
Please contact customer support with your order details for a replacement.
Frame is wobbly
Ensure all securing clips on the back are firmly fastened. Check that the artwork and backing are seated correctly within the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To insert your artwork, carefully open the back of the frame. Remove the backing board and the mount (if using). Place your artwork onto the backing board, ensuring it is positioned correctly. If using the mount, place your artwork behind it, aligning as desired. Place the mount (with artwork behind it, if applicable) back into the frame, followed by the glass and the backing board. Secure the frame backing. The frame is now ready to hang or stand.
Compatibility: This frame is designed to hold standard artwork and prints. The mount is cut to accommodate artwork slightly smaller than the visible frame area. Please check the specific dimensions of your artwork against the frame and mount opening.
Care: Clean the glass and frame with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the frame is kept away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent fading and warping.
