Wall Mounted Acrylic Floating Frame for Certificate & Diploma Frame
A wall-mounted acrylic floating frame that fixes to the wall on four polished chrome standoffs, holding your photo, print, or A4 certificate a little way off the plaster so it appears to float. Your photo, print, or A4 certificate sits between two high-clarity panels, lifted slightly off the wall, so it appears to float and casts a soft shadow for a clean gallery look without the weight or risk of glass.
There is no border and no glass. You can open and change the contents yourself in about a minute.
Why you'll love this floating acrylic photo frame
-
It floats - two 3mm acrylic panels stand off the wall on chrome bolts, so what is inside seems to hover rather than hang
-
Change it in a minute - loosen the chrome caps, swap the contents, tighten. Once it is up, no tools are needed again
-
Portrait or landscape - the frame is symmetrical, so you decide at the moment you drill
-
Lighter than glass, and safer - the same clarity, none of the weight, nothing that can shatter above head height
-
The fixings are in the box - chrome standoff screws and wall anchors, all included
-
It takes more than photographs - certificates, degrees, diplomas, art prints, posters, postcards, ticket stubs, a child's first painting
Getting the size right is worth two minutes
Every acrylic floating frame here is named after its outer sheet, not the window you look through. Four standoffs sit 1.5- 2 cm inside each edge, and that border takes a bite out of the display area. Choose the display area column rather than the frame name and you will get it right the first time.

Framing a certificate, degree or diploma? Order the A3. It is the only size here with a window big enough for a full A4 sheet, which makes it our most popular floating acrylic certificate frame. The A4 frame is named for its outer edge and will not take one.
And the thing we would rather say now than have you discover on the doorstep: none of these frames shows a full A3 sheet. The largest window we make is 26.7 x 39cm, which is the A3 frame. If you need A3 artwork or an A3 poster displayed at full size, this is not the frame for the job.

Peel it before you judge it
Both panels ship with film on both faces, four films per frame. Take all of them off before mounting. Until you do, the acrylic looks cloudy and slightly grey. That is the film, not the frame.
Ready to hand over
It arrives boxed with every fixing inside, so there is nothing to wrap and nothing to buy separately. A graduation, a new home, a wedding, a retirement, a birthday with a nought in it, anywhere someone has something worth putting on a wall.
Questions we get asked
Q: Will it take a full A4 certificate?
Ans: The A3 will, with room around it. The A4 frame gives you roughly 18 x 26.7cm, which is right for a 5x7 photo or an A5 sheet, but not for a full A4.
Q: Will the A3 frame show a full A3 sheet?
Ans: No. The A3 name refers to the outer sheet at 29.7 x 42cm; the standoff border reduces the window to about 26.7 x 39cm. It is built around A4 documents and certificates, not A3 artwork.
Q: How does it go on the wall?
Ans: Four chrome standoff screws with wall anchors, all supplied. Drill, push in the anchors, mount the standoffs, then sandwich your content between the panels. The gap it leaves is what makes the floating effect.
Q: Is the clear part glass?
Ans: No, acrylic. It reads as glass but weighs less and will not break into pieces.
Q: Can I hang it either way up?
Ans: Yes, it is symmetrical, so portrait or landscape is your choice.
Q: Can I change what is in it later?
Ans: Easily. Loosen the four caps, swap the contents, tighten them again. In about a minute, and the frame stays on the wall.
Q: Do I have to buy just one?
Ans: No. The pack dropdown offers a single frame, a pair, or a set of four for a gallery wall.
