I need to find a frameless glass picture frame

Options
I have a world scratch map which I want to hang up on my wall. I want to be able to access the map to scratch off where I have been but I want it to have glass in front so that it doesn't get damaged and it looks better anyway.

The size of the map is 819mm x 582mm so looking for something slightly bigger than that or as exact as.

Does anyone know where I can find those glass frames without a proper frame around it, with the metal clips that hold it in, or maybe something stronger as I reckon it will be quite heavy with glass.

I have tried IKEA, B&Q and online with Ebay etc but hard to find with a loose description.

    Search for "Clip Frames". There some here for instance : http://www.fastframes.co.uk/acatalog/Individual_Plastic_Glass_Clipframes.html which would fit, with plastic glass - so not too heavy.

    I used to have loads of these when I was a student for framing movie posters...so they definitely go big enough!

    Edit : I should mention, I do not work for Fast Frames, they were just the first Google Result!

    If you have a "the range store" they are a reasonable price in there
