In an algebraic frame L, the complete sublattice CP(L) generated by the polars of L is studied, in comparison with FP(L), the subframe generated by the polars. It is shown, by an example from the theory of ℓ-groups, that these are distinct, in general. The relationship between FP(L), CP(L), and other established constructs, closely related to the boolean algebra of polars, is also studied.
