A 20x20 frame is generally sized to hold a 20 x 20 inch print without a mat. If the frame includes a mat, the visible opening is smaller and designed to showcase a smaller image.

• No mat: Holds 20″ x 20″ artwork (measure edge to edge).
• With mat: Look for the mat window size; it’s typically slightly smaller than the stated image size (often about 1/4″ overlap per side) to keep the print in place.
• Common pairing: A 20x20 frame often works nicely with a 16x16 image when a mat is included.

On each product page, check “art size,” “mat opening,” and overall dimensions. Availability for delivery or store pickup can be viewed at checkout.

Both covers protect your 20x20 print, but they behave differently. Consider where it’ll hang and who uses the space.

• Glass: Typically more scratch-resistant and offers a crisp view. It’s heavier and can break if dropped. Cleaning is usually straightforward with a glass-safe cleaner applied to a cloth.
• Acrylic (plexi): Lighter and shatter-resistant, which may be helpful in high-traffic areas. It can scratch more easily; clean with a microfiber cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid ammonia or harsh solvents.
• Glare/UV: Some products may offer anti-glare or UV-filtering options. Check the item details for specifics.

Review the material listed in each frame’s specifications to choose what fits your needs.

A thoughtful setup can help your frame look great and stay secure.

1. Check weight and hardware: Look at the frame’s weight and the included hangers (D-rings, wire, or sawtooth). Use wall hardware rated for that weight.
2. Use studs or anchors: When possible, mount into a stud. Otherwise, choose compatible wall anchors for drywall, plaster, or masonry.
3. Mark and level: Measure twice, use a level, and mark hook locations with painter’s tape.
4. Hang with two points: Two hooks or D-rings can reduce shifting and help keep it straight.
5. Final check: Give a gentle tug and adjust as needed. Avoid overly humid spots if the frame isn’t sealed.

Always follow the specific instructions that come with your frame and hardware.

Standard 20x20 frames are usually made for flat prints. For stretched canvas, records, or keepsakes, look for frames that specify extra depth.

• Deep-profile or shadow box frames: Designed for dimensional items, with space between the glazing and backing.
• Check rabbet/depth: In the product details, look for insert thickness (e.g., accommodates up to a certain inch). Match that to your item’s actual thickness.
• Mounting approach: Float mounts, spacers, or pinning methods may be suggested by the product; choose non-damaging options for delicate items.
• Hardware and weight: Heavier displays may need sturdier hanging hardware.

Review the specifications on the item page to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

Gentle cleaning helps keep your 20x20 frame looking fresh without risking damage.

• Glazing (glass): Spray a small amount of glass cleaner onto a microfiber cloth, not directly onto the frame, and wipe gently.
• Glazing (acrylic): Avoid ammonia-based cleaners. Use a soft cloth dampened with diluted mild soap and water, then dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
• Frame (wood/metal): Dust with a dry, soft cloth. For smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water and dry immediately. Skip abrasives and harsh chemicals.
• Protect the art: Keep moisture away from the mat and artwork by applying cleaners to the cloth, not the frame.

Cleaning frequency depends on your space; light, regular dusting typically helps maintain the finish.
