Typically made with a glass front, they come in all sorts of sizes. The decisive advantage of rimless picture frames is the individually combinable look and the fact that photos can be changed completely uncomplicatedly. The glass quality can vary: From normal to anti-reflective glass to acrylic or shatterproof Plexiglas, various models are available. Just like ordinary frames, the ones without a border can be used in portrait and landscape format. They consist only of a back panel and the front glass, both of which are held together by clips. Borderless picture holders are often used for diplomas or awards that are displayed in the office. These frames also show off posters and placards to their best advantage.
The rimless version is mostly used in galleries, offices or waiting rooms. In the private sphere, it is sometimes the rimless picture holders that are in demand. For some ambiences, nothing colourful is suitable, only photos with a plain framing, which in no way change the overall impression of the room. If the living room is kept in white or pastel colours, a wooden frame with a bright, strong colour somehow doesn't fit in. For this, variants without a border are perfect.
Frame-less picture holders look plain and simple, but still beautiful. Since there is no frame, you also do not have to consider the colour coordination of your interior design or office. Exhibits are also often presented with frameless picture frames. The various photos can be displayed well as a unified overall picture, which would be very difficult when using pictures with wooden frames.
The disadvantage with these picture holders is that there is no complete protection against dirt, moisture, etc.. When cleaning, it is advisable to put the cleaning agent on a cleaning cloth and not on the glass pane. Otherwise, some of the cleaning agent may get onto the photo in the cavity between the glass pane and the photo. This is not at all desirable for the owner.
If the photo is a valuable one, the use of a mount makes perfect sense. For pastel or pencil drawings, it is also worth buying one. The cardboard frame means that the glass does not lie directly on the photo, which is thus protected. When you take the photo out of the frame to clean it, you have cleaned the glass and dried it thoroughly, the passepartout is inserted first. There are special adhesives to fix the passe-partout so that it does not slip.
Rimless picture holders are the cheapest and most elegant solution to hang your pictures. These borderless picture frames look elegant and are timeless, they are not subject to any fashion trend. You will find the best selection with price and quality comparison and advice in our online shop.
First you should decide for yourself what size the picture frame should be. Is the photo to be framed valuable? Do you need a passe-partout for it? You should also consider what kind of glass will protect your photos. Shatterproof Plexiglas, anti-reflective glass or "just" normal glass? As far as the back wall is concerned, mounts are usually offered with a 3mm-thick medium-density fibreboard. This guarantees stability and prevents breaking or bending, while still ensuring a light weight.
