Question 1

What is the difference between MDF and solid wood frames?

Accepted Answer

MDF frames use medium density fibreboard with a smooth painted finish — consistent colour, great for gallery walls, starting from £18. Solid wood frames are FSC-certified timber with natural grain — warmer, more premium, from £28. MDF is more budget-friendly; solid wood has more character.

Question 2

What is a Polcore frame?

Accepted Answer

A Polcore frame uses polymer-core construction creating ultra-slim profiles with razor-sharp 90-degree corners. Lightweight, durable, and dimensionally stable. Ideal for modern gallery walls and offices. From £22.

Question 3

Are Polcore frames waterproof?

Accepted Answer

Polcore frames are highly moisture-resistant — far more so than MDF or wood — making them suitable for bathrooms and humid rooms. They will not warp, swell, or crack in high-humidity environments.

Question 4

Which frame material lasts longest?

Accepted Answer

Solid wood frames last the longest — decades when properly maintained. Polcore frames are extremely durable and moisture-resistant. MDF frames are long-lasting in normal home conditions but less suited to humid rooms.

Question 8

What frame size fits 50x70 posters?

Accepted Answer

50×70cm posters need a 50×70cm frame (approximately 20×28 inches). FrameOra offers 50×70cm as a standard European size in all materials.

Question 9

Are your frames supplied with acrylic or glass?

Accepted Answer

FrameOra frames are supplied with shatter-resistant acrylic glazing as standard — safer for shipping across the UK and Europe, lighter, and less likely to break.
