Polcore® frame moulding.
Polcore ® is recycled polystyrene – an alternative picture moulding material.
Recycled polystyrene picture frame mouldings have a skin of HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) – known as ‘virgin’ on the outside of the profile which provides a smooth surface on which to finish.
The core of the moulding is made up of about 70% recycled polystyrene and 30% virgin polystyrene.
Recycled polystyrene is made up of waste products from mainly two sources:
- The electronics industry
- Plastic packaging – mainly from the food industry.
It contains NO detectable formaldehyde or carcinogenic substances and is free from lead.
The manufacturing process is clean.
- Does not use spray paints.
The manufacturing process uses decorative transfer films.
Therefore the material that constitutes recycled polystyrene mouldings broadly conserves the use of the earth’s natural raw materials by using those that have been recycled.
Wood frame mouldings
The ranges of wood products I use are from companies that purchase their timber from sustainable sources and reforestation projects.
Other ecological considerations include the use of water based paints and varnishes.

Sinéad Flinders – Google Review
I love how calm this shop is.
I have had 3 things framed here now, including most recently a precious wedding photo. I would (and have!) recommend it – no pushiness at all, great value and beautiful frames. Could not be happier with how my pictures look!!

is bespoke picture framing expensive?
You might be pleasantly surprised
As soon as you hear the word “BESPOKE” your thinking “EXPENSIVE” right?
Rest assured this is definitely not the case.
There are many options available and I’m confident that I can provide a service within your budget.
