The magnetic frame principle of HALBE
Thanks to magnetic tapes the top frame can be removed and placed in just a few seconds. It keeps the base element, glass and picture securely locked and prevents dust from getting inside. Tools for opening and closing are not necessary. The work of paper is inserted from the front to ensure exact positioning without shifting.
FUNCTIONALITY AS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE
The magnetic frame principle is the basis for all picture frames in our product line. Every HALBE frame consists of three main elements: base element, glass and profile. The base element is a combination of a dimensionally stable hard foam board and a sheet steel angular frame. Protruding edges facilitate the quick insertion and fixation of picture, passepartout and glass pane.
The pH-neutral hard foam board (PAT-tested, IPI Rochester) has a high planarity and is equipped on the front and rear side with an acid-free, white cover layer as well as a barrier coat made of aluminium for protection against humidity.
The profile is alternatively made of aluminium or solid wood. On the insides, special adhesive magnet strips ensure that the profile frame adheres to the base element coherently and perfectly during the insertion. Due to the permanent magnetic force, the secure function of the magnetic frame is maintained indefinitely.
Magnetic frame principle FAQ
In a magnetic frame, special magnetic strips are incorporated into the overframe. As a result, it sits perfectly and firmly on the base element, without annoying clamps. The magnetic frame principle therefore enables simple and precise framing - and from the front!
You don 't need any tools or other accessories to open the magnetic frames. With your thumbs, you simply press against the glass from the front and thus remove the overframe. The glass can then be removed and a picture inserted. Afterwards you put the glass back in and press the overframe firmly back on - done!
Unlike conventional clamps, the magnetic force does not weaken. Combined with high-quality materials and sturdy construction, the magnetic frame principle ensures a long-lasting picture frame that looks and functions perfectly even after decades of regular picture changes.
