FAQs
What size artwork can this frame hold?
The frame accommodates standard photo sizes. The exact internal size will depend on the specific frame dimensions purchased. The included mount is designed for specific photo sizes (e.g., a 10x8 frame might come with a mount for a 6x4 photo).
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While it's technically possible to remove the plastic glass, the frame is manufactured with specific tolerances for plastic glass. Replacing it with real glass may alter the fit and is not recommended by the manufacturer.
How do I clean the mount?
The white core mount should be handled with care. Avoid touching the surface directly. If necessary, use a soft brush to gently remove dust. For smudges, a very light wipe with a dry cloth might suffice, but avoid moisture as it can damage the board.
Is the mount pre-cut for a specific photo size?
Yes, the mount is cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard and is typically sized to fit common photograph dimensions, with the opening cut 3mm smaller on each side than the overall mount size to secure the image.
What are the exact dimensions of the frame moulding?
The frame moulding itself is 39mm wide and 15mm deep.
Can the frame hang horizontally and vertically?
Yes, the frame is designed to be hung in both portrait and landscape orientations.
What is the material of the 'glass'?
The frame comes with protective plastic glass, which is lighter and more shatter-resistant than traditional glass.
Troubleshooting
Frame not closing properly
Ensure the artwork/mount and backing board are lying flat and not too thick for the frame. Check that securing tabs are correctly aligned and fully engaged.
Plastic glass appears cloudy or streaky
Remove the protective film from both sides of the plastic glass. Clean gently with a damp microfiber cloth and dry thoroughly.
Mount does not fit correctly
Verify the mount size corresponds to the frame size. Ensure the mount's inner edge is not obscuring essential parts of your artwork. Remember the mount is cut 3mm smaller on each side.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Carefully open the frame from the back, releasing the securing tabs or clips.
- Remove the protective film from both sides of the plastic glass.

- Position the mount over your artwork, ensuring it is centered as desired.
- Carefully place the plastic glass back on top of the artwork/mount.
- Replace the backing board and secure the frame's tabs or clips.
- Attach the hanging hardware (not included, user-supplied) to the back of the frame according to your chosen orientation (portrait or landscape).
Compatibility:
- This frame is suitable for artwork and photographs up to the internal dimensions defined by the frame size, minus the mount if used. Ensure your item fits within these dimensions.
- Compatible with standard photo print sizes and custom-cut artwork.
Care:
- Wipe the plastic glass gently with a soft, damp microfiber cloth to clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the plastic surface.
- The frame itself can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.
- Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential fading of artwork and discoloration of the frame or mount.
