Do the photo frames have glass protection?
- We have developed our own solution for producing frames without glass, inspired by art galleries. In our opinion, glass in a frame dulls the colours of the photo, reflects ambient light, and a thin print covered with glass tends to wave and deform. Without glass, the colours remain clear and vivid, regardless of the ambient light.
What is the quality of photo printing for framed pictures?
- All photos are computer edited and manually checked for colour accuracy. We use the highest quality printers for photo printing. Varnish applied to the photo layer protects it from UV radiation and mechanical damage.

What is included in the photo frame hanging system?
- The set includes a hanging template and double-sided adhesive pads (hangers) that allow you to hang the frames without drilling holes in the wall. You can also use the traditional method by hammering nails where the centres of the frames are marked on the template.
Do the picture frame hangers stick to every wall type?
- The hangers can be used on most walls, but they require a smooth surface. When will they not work? Old plaster - if you suspect that the plaster or paint may be peeling off the wall. Textured walls or brick - their porosity may be too high for the hangers to hold firmly enough. In such a situation, it is best to opt for a purchase with traditional mounting. The template that will be delivered with the gallery has holes where you need to drill to hang the frames straight and evenly.
Will hanging photo frames damage my walls?
- Framky adhesive hangers will not damage the wall. Installed according to the instructions, they can be easily removed without damaging the paint. A thin hanger strip may remain on the wall that can be removed with nail polish remover or acetone. We have not observed paint damage while removing the strip from the wall when the frames were mounted according to the instructions.
Will the picture frame hangers peel off the wall over time?
- No, as long as the wall to which they were glued was degreased with the included cloth before attaching the hangers. A lot also depends on the wall - if it has high porosity, is uneven, textured, it is possible that they will peel off after some time. On a sufficiently smooth surface, the hangers will hold for many years. Our frames are light, so they do not burden the hanging system too much.

If part of the strip remains on the wall, scrape off with a sharp tool and clean the residue with acetone.
