Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals looking to stylishly display photos or artwork. The Metro frame offers a modern aesthetic and high-quality UK manufacturing, featuring a versatile design that can be hung in any orientation and used with or without its included black mount. A minor consideration is the use of plastic glass, which may not offer the same clarity or protection as real glass.

FAQs
What material is the 'glass' made of?
The frame uses plastic glass, which is a lighter and more shatter-resistant alternative to traditional glass.
Can I use the frame without the mount?
Yes, the frame is designed to be used with or without the included black mount. This allows for framing larger pieces or artwork without a border.
What are the dimensions of the frame moulding?
The frame moulding itself is 39mm wide and 15mm deep.
How is the mount sized?
The mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side to ensure the edges of your image are covered and not exposed when framed.
Can this frame be hung horizontally and vertically?
Yes, the frame is designed to be hung in both portrait and landscape orientations.
Where is this frame manufactured?
This frame is manufactured to high quality standards in our factory in the UK.
What is the colour of the frame and mount?
The frame is Dark Grey, and it comes with a Black coloured mount.
Troubleshooting
Frame arrives damaged
Contact customer support immediately with details and photographic evidence of the damage for a resolution.
Plastic glass is scratched
Attempt to clean gently with a microfibre cloth and a plastic-safe cleaner. Minor scratches may be unavoidable with plastic materials.
Artwork does not fit with the mount
Double-check the artwork size against the mount's aperture. The mount is designed to overlap the artwork edges slightly to prevent slippage.
Frame does not hang straight
Ensure the hanging hardware on the wall is level and securely fastened. Adjust the frame on the hardware if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adds a modern, stylish touch to any display.
- Manufactured to high standards in the UK.
- Versatile for both portrait and landscape orientation.
- Includes a mount for enhanced presentation, or can be used without it.
- Safer display option due to plastic glass.
Cons
- Uses plastic glass, which may have lower clarity than real glass.
- The plastic glass may be more prone to scratching than standard glass.
- The frame dimensions (39mm width) might be larger than desired for very minimalist setups.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare Artwork: Ensure your artwork or photo is the correct size for the frame or the provided mount.
- Insert Artwork: Gently open the back of the frame, place your artwork and the mount (if using) onto the backing board, ensuring it is aligned correctly.
- Secure Artwork: Re-secure the backing board using the frame's clips or fasteners.
- Hang Frame: Use appropriate hanging hardware (not included) suited to your wall type and the frame's weight. The frame can be hung using the integrated fittings for either portrait or landscape orientation.
Compatibility:
- Size: Designed to hold standard photo and print sizes. The internal dimensions when using the mount are approximately 10x8 inches (outer mount edges will be larger).
- Orientation: Compatible with both portrait and landscape hanging.
Care:
- Frame: Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Plastic Glass: Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-ammonia glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth (not directly onto the plastic) can be used.
