Buying mouldings is simple at DIYframing and very cost effective.

You can choose from the following options:

• Chop Service
  This method of purchasing moulding allows you to purchase the exact amount you require ready mitred to complete a frame all you have to do is join it.
• Per Length
  Buying by the length lets you choose how much you need to complete a framing job with very little waste. Available in 1m and 1.4 m lengths.

To purchase mouldings there are 3 simple steps

1. Decide on the category of colour below
2. Choose whether you require a chop service, per length or by the pack
3. Choose your moulding and amounts then add them to the shopping basket

CHOP SERVICE for chop service orders please allow at least 2 extra working days for despatch. NB SIZES IN MM

Chop service is where we mitre the moulding to your specified size.

All you have to do is join the pieces of moulding together to make the frame.

To order chop service just fill in either the EXACT SIZE or GLASS SIZE width and height for your chosen moulding type.

EXACT SIZE are the dimensions but with NO 2mm tolerance added to the glass size.

GLASS SIZE dimensions are those of the board / total artwork package being fitted into the frame.  They include the mount where one is being used.  NB when creating chopped sections for glass size we add 2mm to the dimensions in order to create an easy fit.

Make sure you state whether it is exact or glass size you are ordering.

The maximum size for chop services is 140cm (Exact size) or 120cm (Glass size) unless you arrange personal pickup.

Listed below is a range of useful information to help with sizes when ordering.
