Stainless steel finish snap frames A4 - A1

• Stainless steel look frames are manufactured like regular snap frames with a realistic stainless steel finish applied. 
• The metallic coating creates the impression that the poster frame is made from stainless steel.
• A dull polished finish creates the contemporary poster frame look which interior designers like to specify for specific projects.

Fix Stainless steel frames using screws

• The usual way to permanently fix stainless look frames is with screws.
• Screws and plastic wall plugs are included with every snap frame we supply
• The wall plugs are for use with masonry walls such as brick and most plastered walls 
• When screwing onto wood the plugs are not needed 
• A drill and screwdriver are required for screw fixing (and we recommend using a spirit level and tape measure to ensure the steel-look frames are properly aligned). If in doubt please consult a proficient DIY or trades person.
