14X18 Frames(699)

Getting the fit right starts with a quick measure. A 14x18 picture frame is sized by the opening inside the frame, not the outside edge. Here’s a simple approach:

1. Measure your artwork: Width and height in inches.
2. Match the opening: A 14x18 poster fits a 14x18 frame without a mat.
3. Consider mats: If a frame includes a mat, the visible opening will be smaller (for example, matted for 10x13).
4. Check thickness: Mounted prints, puzzles, or foam board may need more space; review the product description for backing and capacity.
5. Review details: On Walmart.com, look for terms like “inner size,” “mat opening,” and “display size.”

These steps can help you choose a frame that suits your piece, but measurements may vary by design.

Both work well; your choice depends on where and how you’ll display the frame.

• Glass: Offers clear viewing and good scratch resistance. It’s heavier and can break, though some options note shatter-resistant glass for added durability.
• Plexiglass/Acrylic: Lightweight and shatter-resistant, which can be helpful in busy spaces or for shipping. It may show static or fine scratches more easily.
• UV Acrylic: Some frames use UV-filtering acrylic that can help reduce fading from light exposure over time.

Check the product description for the exact “glazing” (cover) type. If you move frames often, lighter covers may be more convenient, while glass can offer a crisp, traditional look.

A little prep goes a long way to a neat, level display.

1. Confirm hardware: Many 14x18 frames include pre-attached hanging hardware and support vertical or horizontal display—review the product details.
2. Mark placement: Use painter’s tape or a paper template to plan the spot.
3. Level and measure: Measure the spacing between hang points on the frame and transfer those marks to the wall with a level.
4. Use proper anchors: For drywall, consider appropriate anchors; for studs, use suitable screws.
5. Hang and adjust: Start snug, then fine-tune so it’s straight.

These steps can help improve alignment, but wall materials and hardware styles vary, so adjust as needed.

Yes—look for a 14x18 frame that includes a mat sized for a 10x13 image. You’ll see listings that note “matted for 10x13” (sometimes even with a double mat for a layered look). If a frame doesn’t include a mat, you can add one separately.

• Mat opening: It’s typically cut slightly smaller than 10x13 to hold the photo in place.
• Without a mat: A 10x13 photo will look undersized in a 14x18 frame.
• Check specs: Review the product details for mat size and opening dimensions.

This approach can create a clean gallery look while fitting smaller photos into a larger frame.

Gentle cleaning helps keep a 14x18 poster frame looking fresh without damaging the cover.

• Dust first: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove loose dust from the frame and cover.
• For glass: Lightly spray glass cleaner onto the cloth (not directly on the frame) and wipe; this can help prevent moisture from seeping under mats.
• For acrylic/plexiglass: Use a damp microfiber cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh or ammonia-based cleaners that may cause haze.
• Dry thoroughly: Finish with a clean, dry cloth before rehanging.

Always check the product page for any care notes specific to the frame’s materials or finishes.
