Buying Guides

Price

Almost everybody has to take into account price when making a purchase. On average we tend to save each customer around 60%, when compared to shopping on the high street. We have 600 different moulding styles on the website which allows us to cater for every budget. On the picture frames page all frames are organised by cost. Ranging from budget to luxury, this is where you can find the frame to suit your pocket.

How to find a frame

There are many ways of searching for your perfect frame on the website.

Frames by price
Frames by size
Frames by colour
Frames by material

We will continuously introduce new methods of searching for frames on the website.

What product do you want?

Okay, so we have a lot of frames on the website, but did you know we also sell mounts too! (A mount is an optional card insert which helps space your art or photo from the frame) We allow you to change the width of this border in the frame studio, to suit your desire. Experiment yourself in our picture frame design studio

What do picture frames do?

To put it simply, they preserve, protect and enhance any items inside them as well as your living/work space. It is thought they have been in homes since the Egyptian period when a tomb was discovered housing a frame protecting a portrait of a fayum mummy.

Matching the style of frame with your item and interior

More often than not, we recommend customers try to match the style of moulding with the item going inside it and also the interior in which the frame will be. So, if you have a modern flat and were framing a minimalist piece of art we would recommend a contemporary aluminium frame to compliment the environment best. The same applies for traditional and everything in-between. Fortunately, our frame studio helps you make this decision, with our wall colour and image upload features; you can see how your frame will look in its future surroundings.

The parts of a picture frame

All of our picture frames share a few core components. These include the frame its self, glazing (glass or acrylic), MDF backing board, polycord and hanging fixings.

We also allow you to further customise your frame with the addition of a mount(s) and other backing board materials designed to carry out different jobs depending on the item inside.

Barrier board will protect and preserve the item inside, shielding it away from the elements. A self adhesive board will allow you to stick the item firmly in place. Useful for multi aperture mounts.
