About the frame

Light oak frame - Narrow (12 mm) is a wooden frame in light oak veneer with a soft, Nordic look. The veneer has a natural play of grain reminiscent of real oak, but without the large variations of solid wood, and gives a harmonious and uniform finish. The neutral and friendly tone lets the motif's colours come forward.

The profile is 12 mm wide and 18 mm deep. The front is therefore slender, while the profile is slightly deeper than our light oak in 15×15 mm, which gives the frame a solid side edge and a fine shadow on the wall. The glass and backing board sit 4 mm under the front, and the frame's size matches the dimensions of the glass and backing board – and therefore the poster. A 30×40 cm poster thus fits the 30×40 cm frame.

The backing board is made of hardboard and has sturdy fittings, so the frame can hang both vertically and horizontally.

In the small sizes up to and including 24×30 cm, the frame also comes with a support stand, so it can stand on a shelf, a chest of drawers or a desk. The stand can be snapped off if you would rather do without it.

The frame particularly suits motifs with soft colours and natural tones, botanical prints, photographs and graphic posters, and it fits into both Scandinavian and more colourful interiors.

If you prefer a slightly wider front, the same finish is also available in our light oak frame in 15 mm and in the wide version at 20 mm.

Choice of glass

The glass affects both the appearance and the durability of your motif. Whether you want maximum clarity, minimal glare or premium protection, we have a type of glass to suit the purpose.

Acrylic glass (plexiglass)
The light and shatterproof solution. Perfect for large sizes or places where the frame may be exposed to knocks. Once the film is removed, the acrylic glass looks almost as clear as standard glass — with the familiar reflections that give the motif a classic light.

Standard glass
The traditional choice, with natural sharpness and a clean, familiar look. The visible reflections often add extra depth to the motif and work particularly well in surroundings without direct light.

Non-reflective glass
Ideal for rooms with large windows or bright light sources. The fine matt surface markedly reduces glare, so the motif can be seen clearly from far more angles. The colours are preserved but presented in a calmer and more subdued tone.

Museum glass
By far the most exclusive choice. Museum glass is almost invisible, minimises reflections and protects your motif from at least 70% of UV radiation. Colours and details stay sharp for many years, and the experience is like seeing the poster with no glass at all — just with optimal protection.

Compare the four types of glass and choose the solution that best suits both the motif and the atmosphere you want to create.

Passepartout

If you want a passepartout between the motif and the frame, choose the frame in a larger size than the motif. A 20×30 cm motif with a border of approx. 5 cm fits in a 30×40 cm light oak frame.

There are several colour shades to choose from. If you order a size over 81×110 cm, however, the passepartout is only supplied in white or off-white.

Aperture size

The aperture size should be 1 cm smaller than the actual dimensions of the motif. If your poster measures 61×91.5 cm, you should therefore choose an aperture size of 60×90.5 cm. This gives an overlap of around 5 mm on all sides, so the motif stays in place and mounting is easy. A float border can be added in our frame designer.

Outer dimensions

The outer dimensions of the passepartout are always identical to the size of the glass in the frame. Please note that the glass, backing board and passepartout sit approx. 5 mm under the front edge of the frame.

Number of apertures

From 0 to 5 apertures can be cut in the passepartout, and if you would like even more, we are happy to help if you contact us. No aperture is ideal when the artwork is to lie on top of the board, so that the edge, signature and printer's marks stand out.

Position of the aperture

The aperture can be positioned in three ways:

Centred aperture (standard): The motif is placed in the middle of the passepartout with an equal border at the top and bottom.

Top-positioned aperture: The distance to the top and sides is the same, giving a visually balanced, wider bottom border.

Free positioning: Gives you full control over the placement. You enter the distance from the top and the left-hand side and can see the result as you go in our preview.

All our passepartouts are made from high-quality 1.5 mm acid-free board.
