Key Concepts Explained
Before deciding what frame size and style will fit you best, it is important to understand some key concepts that will help you make an
informed decision.
A picture frame is made of different components such as the glass, the frame, an optional mat board and of course the photograph or
image that you are framing. Each component has different measurements and is important to understand what to look for in order to find
a picture frame that perfectly suits both your photograph and your space.
PHOTO SIZE
The photo size or image size refers to the dimensions of the actual
artwork or photograph that is intended to be displayed within the
frame.
When the frame includes a matboard, the photo size is usually
0.5-1.0cm bigger than the cut-out window. When the frame
doesn’t include a matboard, the photo size is the same as the
glass size.
FRAME SIZE
The frame size refers to the dimensions of the glass inside the
frame. This is a maximum artwork size that could be displayed
inside the frame. It is more accurate to measure this from the back
of the frame, between the inside edges of the frame.
WINDOW SIZE
The window size is used when the frame includes a matboard.
This refers to the dimensions of the cut-out window. Because the
photograph is placed behind the matboard, usually the cut-out
window is approx. 0.5-1.0cm smaller than the photo size.
EXTERNAL SIZE
The external size of the frame is the outer dimensions of the frame.
This varies depending on the width of the moulding.
For example, our most popular moulding style is our Elegant
range, which is 20mm wide. That means that the external
dimensions of the frame will be 30-40mm bigger than the frame
size (which you also allow for the lip of the frame).
