tips...

Common imperial frame sizes and common metric frame sizes can look similar at first glance, but are often not exactly the same. 

example: the most common misunderstanding is the  20x16 imperial size and 50x40cm metric frame. Some commercial frame manufacturers make a frame  that falls between the two sizes,  and large stores sell the same item as both "approx" 20x16 or "approx" 50x40.  Don't take the marked sizes on any frame or mount as gospel! 

So if ordering a mount to fit a frame, measure it first - let us know the  measurements, and we will generally make the mount about 2mm smaller to allow easy fit and 1mm clearance all round (fine art trade guild spec)  or just tell us it is "to fit".

likewise all our mounts are cut "to fit" the picture or photo unless you ask otherwise, this gives you 1/4" or approx 5mm overlap so the picture sits behind the mount. Otherwise it'd fall through the hole! So specify "aperture required" if you need an exact aperture (mount window) size.

for exact conversions you will find the online calculator above very handy!
