> How to frame a panel with the profiles?

DESCRIPTION

• To assemble 1 frame, you will need: 4 profiles (2 packs), 1 metal parts kit, and 1 flat-medium screwdriver
• Each assembly kit includes: 4 angled pieces with 2 screws to secure the profile joints, 4 angled pieces that support the previous ones, 2 hangers, and 10 curved hooks to adjust the panel to the slots or rails of the profiles, preventing it from moving
• It is advisable to assemble the frame on a smooth surface of adequate size to provide support

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• In Related Products, you can find panels compatible with the profile sizes

TIPS AND ADVICE

• Frame prints or photos. Print your photo on paper and stick it to a cardboard or wood of the same size to give it firmness. Then, assemble the frame as you would with a photo panel. For a more professional finish, add a glass over the photo before framing it

HOW TO FRAME A PANEL WITH THE PROFILES?

• Measure the panel you want to frame. Suppose it measures 600 x 765 mm
• Select the appropriate profiles: for a 600 x 765 mm panel, choose two 610 mm profiles and two 765 mm profiles
• Prepare the assembly kit with the 20 pieces and a screwdriver
• Join two profiles of different sizes and place them in a corner of the panel, ensuring the panel fits into the larger slot
• Secure the profiles: at the joint, place an angled piece with two screws and, underneath, a supporting angled piece. Slightly tighten the screws without fully tightening them
• Repeat the process in the other corners, following in adjacent order
• Firmly tighten all screws once you have assembled the four corners
• Place the hooks on the sides to secure the panel in the slots. For this example, place three hooks on each long side and two on each short side
• Add the hangers: insert the hangers' head into the slot of the top profile and tighten the screws. If the panel is heavy, consider placing the hangers on the sides
• The panel is framed and ready to hang wherever you desire
