Polystyrene Frames
polystyrene frames are emerging as the unsung heroes of interior styling. Forget heavy wood or cold metal—these versatile, feather-light frames offer surprising advantages for homes, galleries, and commercial spaces. Let’s explore why they’re more than just “plastic” and how to leverage their potential.
What Exactly Are Polystyrene Frames?
Polystyrene (often expanded as EPS or extruded as XPS) is a rigid, lightweight plastic foam. When precision-cut and finished, it transforms into sleek, durable frames for:
- Art & Photography
- Mirrors
- Retail Signage & Display Boards
- Event Backdrops
5 Game-Changing Advantages

→ Unlike wood, polystyrene won’t swell in humidity or crack in dry climates. Perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor cafes. - Endless Customization
→ Laser-cut into any shape: organic curves, geometric patterns, or branded silhouettes. Finish with:- High-gloss paint (metallic gold/industrial chrome)
- Wood-effect laminates (oak/walnut textures)
