How to calculate the size of a sub frame

Allow for a border between the sub frame and the edge of the panel. On average this will be 25mm but can be less on a smaller panel. You will also need to allow for the width of the Moulded Push-in Corners at each end. To work out the size of pieces you'll need to cut/order on Chop Service:

Panel width mm - (border mm x 2) - (27mm x 2) = sub frame width in mm

Panel height mm - (border mm x 2) - (27mm x 2) = sub frame height in mm
