Product Information

Full details

This 16x16 Lilac Picture Frame from B&Q is designed for individuals looking to elegantly display cherished memories, art prints, or posters. Its key benefit is the blend of sophisticated vintage charm with modern safety features, thanks to the perspex anti-shatter window. A slight caveat is that it accommodates specific sizes (16x16 or 15x15 with mount), so ensure your artwork fits.

FAQs

What are the exact internal dimensions of the frame?

The frame is designed to hold a 16x16 inch item. With the included removable mount, it can also fit a 15x15 inch item.

Can this frame be used for freestanding display on a table?

This frame is primarily designed for wall mounting. It does not include an easel back for freestanding display.

Is the perspex window removable?

Yes, the perspex window is part of the frame assembly and can be removed for cleaning or inserting artwork.

What type of wall anchors should I use?

The type of wall anchor depends on your wall material (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick). The frame itself does not come with wall anchors; they should be selected based on your specific wall type and the weight of the framed item.

How do I clean the lilac finish?

The lilac finish can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as this could damage the finish.

Can I replace the perspex window if it gets scratched?

While the perspex is designed for durability, it can be scratched. Replacement perspex sheets cut to size can often be sourced from framing suppliers or craft stores.

Troubleshooting

Frame appears warped or uneven.

Ensure the backing board is seated correctly and evenly against the artwork and perspex. Adjust rear clips to apply even pressure.

Perspex window is smudged or cloudy.

Clean the perspex with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive plastic cleaner and buff gently.

Hanging hooks feel loose.

Gently check if the hooks are fully extended and properly seated. If they remain loose, consider reinforcing them with a small amount of adhesive suitable for frames.
