01
Choose the visual edge
A mat adds a quiet border and increases the framed footprint. No mat gives the image more presence inside a given frame. Natural and black finishes change contrast; they do not establish different preservation ratings.
Frame and protect your print
Framing & care
Choose a frame for the artwork and the room, then control the risks you can actually observe: poor placement, moisture, rough handling, unsuitable hardware, and careless cleaning. No frame makes a paper print immune to light, humidity, or physical damage.

The decision order
Decide presentation first, then placement and care
02
Check the exact PDP option
Active PosterBloom products currently offer unframed, natural wood-effect, or black framed variants. They ship without a mat unless a future variant explicitly says otherwise. The selected product page is the source of truth.
03
Place for the real room
Measure the outside frame, use hardware appropriate to the wall and frame, and avoid locations with direct sun, persistent damp, or repeated splashes. Reassess when the room conditions change.
Current PosterBloom construction
Read the product facts before applying generic framing advice
PosterBloom framed variants use solid satin-laminated wood with either a natural oak-effect laminate or black satin laminate, plus Perspex glazing. We do not describe that standard glazing as UV-filtering because the active PDP specification does not establish that claim.
Other configurations may be possible elsewhere, but they are not active PosterBloom variants. Check the size, frame label, price, and availability on the individual product page before buying.

Make the frame and care decisions deliberately
These guides separate aesthetic choices from physical-care claims. Choose the frame finish, decide whether the presentation needs a mat, then reduce avoidable exposure and handling risks once the print is home.
