FAQs
What size photo does this mount fit?
This mount is designed to display a 4" x 4" (10 x 10cm) photograph or image.
What are the outer dimensions of the mount?
The outer dimensions of the mount are 8" x 8" (20 x 20cm).
What is the thickness of the mount?
The mount has a thickness of 0.2cm (2mm).
Can I paint or decorate this mount?
Yes, the black paper-based surface can be decorated with paints, markers, or other craft supplies to personalize your display.
Does this mount come with a frame?
No, this product is for the picture mounts only. They are designed to fit Nicola Spring 3D Box Frames, which must be purchased separately.
How does the mount protect my photo?
The mount creates a physical space between your photo and the glass of the frame. This separation helps prevent condensation from forming directly on the photo's surface, protecting it from moisture damage and sticking.
What does 'beveled edges' mean?
Beveled edges refer to the angled cut of the inner opening of the mount. This angled cut helps to prevent shadows from being cast onto the photo by the mount itself, creating a cleaner presentation.
Troubleshooting
Mount does not fit the frame.
Ensure you are using a Nicola Spring 3D Box Frame that is compatible with 8" x 8" mounts. Verify the frame is properly assembled and not obstructed.
Photo appears too large for the mount's opening.
The inner dimension is precisely 4" x 4". Ensure your photo print is exactly 4" x 4" or smaller. If the print is larger, it will need to be trimmed carefully, or a different size mount may be required.
Shadows are visible around the photo.
Confirm that the mount's beveled edges are facing upwards towards the frame glass. Ensure the photo is laid flat against the mount without any buckling.
The mount surface is smudged or dirty.
Gently wipe the surface with a clean, dry, or very slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using water excessively or any cleaning agents.
