FAQs
Can I use these frames on a desk?
Yes, for sizes smaller than 16x12 inches, the frames are designed to stand in both portrait and landscape orientations.
Are the frames made of real wood?
No, the Allington range is made from high-quality polcore, which is a durable, long-lasting synthetic alternative to wood.
Why does my A2 frame feel different from the smaller ones?
Frames sized A2 and larger use plastic safety glass to prevent breakage, whereas smaller frames use traditional glass.
Do the dimensions provided include the frame border?
No, the dimensions listed refer specifically to the size of the glass and the internal picture size, not the outer edge of the frame.
Can I hang the 16x12 size frames on a desk?
No, all frames 16x12 inches and larger are strictly designed for wall hanging only.
Troubleshooting
Frame feels loose after inserting photo
Ensure the MDF backing board is pushed firmly against the tabs and that all metal tabs are bent down securely.
Safety glass appears cloudy
Check that the protective adhesive film has been completely peeled off both sides of the plastic safety glass.
Frame won't sit flush on the wall
Ensure the hanging hardware is fully engaged with your wall hook and check that no cables or debris are caught behind the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your frame is straightforward. Simply rotate the metal tabs on the back of the frame to remove the MDF board. Place your photograph or artwork against the glass, replace the MDF backing, and secure the tabs into place.
To keep your frame in optimal condition, dust the frame moulding with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the glass or the polcore surface, as these may cause streaking or surface damage. For the glass, a standard glass cleaner applied to a cloth—never sprayed directly on the frame—will remove fingerprints and maintain clarity.
