Product Information
Full details
The Metro Black Frame is designed for individuals seeking a stylish, modern display solution for their photographs and artwork. Its key benefit is the high-quality UK manufacturing and versatile mounting options, allowing both portrait and landscape orientation with or without a black mount. A potential caveat is the 39mm wide x 15mm deep moulding, which might be larger than some prefer for minimalist displays.

FAQs
What material is the frame moulding made from?
The frame moulding is manufactured to high standards in our UK factory, providing a durable and stylish finish. Specific material composition is not detailed but is designed for longevity.
Can I use this frame for A4 prints?
The frame's compatibility depends on the specific size it is manufactured for. The included mount is designed to fit within the frame and is cut to enhance image presentation, typically accommodating standard print sizes when used.
Does the frame come with a wall hanging kit?
The frame is designed to hang or stand. Wall hanging fixings are typically not included and would need to be sourced separately based on your wall type.
What are the dimensions of the black mount?
The black mount is cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard and is made 3mm smaller on both sides than the visible frame opening to ensure the edge of your image is not exposed when framed.
How do I clean the frame?
Clean the frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture to maintain the finish.
Can the mount be removed if I prefer not to use it?
Yes, the frame can be used with or without the included black mount. Simply insert your artwork directly into the frame without placing the mount.
Troubleshooting
Frame backing is difficult to open
Gently use a flathead screwdriver or a coin to carefully pry open the securing clips on the back of the frame.
Image does not fit correctly with the mount
Ensure the image is centered correctly within the frame opening before replacing the backing. Remember the mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side than the visible frame area.
Glass is smudged or dirty
Use a dedicated glass cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth for best results. Ensure the cloth is clean to avoid transferring dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To insert your photo or artwork, carefully open the back of the frame. Remove the backing board and any protective film from the glass. Place your image onto the glass, ensuring it is aligned correctly. If using the mount, place the mount over your image. Re-attach the backing board securely. The frame can then be positioned using the integrated stand or hung using appropriate wall fixings (not included).
Compatibility: This frame is designed to accommodate standard photo and artwork sizes, with the included mount accommodating smaller prints. The mount itself is cut 3mm smaller on each side to ensure the image edge is not visible when framed.
Care: Clean the glass periodically with a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the frame moulding with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this may damage the finish.
