For most listings on this page, the listed size refers to the artwork or photo the frame is designed to hold without a mat. So a 17 x 14 in frame typically fits 17 x 14 in art. If a mat is included, its opening will be smaller; for example, some 14 x 17 in frames here have a 10 x 13 in mat opening. Orientation is flexible—use portrait or landscape as needed.

• Check the product description for mat opening size.
• Review interior frame depth (often around 0.5 in) for thicker items.
• Measure your art edge to edge for the best fit.

Many 17 x 14 in and 14 x 17 in frames on this page feature a UV acrylic shatter guard front rather than glass. UV acrylic is lighter, more shatter resistant, and helps reduce light exposure to your photo or art. Specific materials can vary by item, so it’s helpful to confirm on the product page under Details or Specifications.

• UV acrylic can be safer to handle and ship than glass.
• Opt for acid-free components to help preserve prints.
• If you prefer a particular glazing type, review the listing details before adding to cart.

A careful setup can help your frame hang neatly and stay put. Many frames here include hanging hardware; if not, consider a picture hanging kit rated for the frame’s weight.

1. Find your spot and mark level points.
2. Choose anchors suited to your wall (drywall, plaster, or masonry).
3. Install hardware per instructions, then attach or align the frame’s hangers.
4. Hang and adjust so it sits level.

For heavier mouldings or deeper frames, using two points of contact can help minimize shifting. Always review the item page for included hardware and weight details before installation.

Diploma framing is about protection and presentation. This page includes options sized for 17 x 14 in documents, including tall (portrait) styles and double-matted designs.

• Confirm orientation: some diplomas are tall (17 high x 14 wide).
• Look for acid-free mats and backing to help reduce yellowing.
• UV acrylic shatter guards can help limit light exposure.
• Use photo or document corners instead of tape to avoid adhesive contact.
• If using a mat, check the exact opening size for a tidy overlap.

Review the product description to ensure the sizing, matting, and materials match your diploma’s needs.

Acrylic is durable but can scratch if cleaned with harsh materials. Gentle care can keep it clear.

1. Blow off loose dust or use a soft brush.
2. Wipe with a clean microfiber cloth; avoid paper towels.
3. Use water or a mild, non-ammonia cleaner; apply to the cloth, not directly to the acrylic.
4. Wipe in light, circular motions and dry with a second microfiber.

For static and lint, a dedicated anti-static cloth can help. Always check the product page for any care notes specific to the UV acrylic shatter guard used on your frame.
