Frequently Asked Questions About Artist Frames
The most popular choice for original canvas paintings is a canvas floater frame. These frames hold the canvas from behind so it appears to float within the frame, with a visible gap between canvas edge and frame. This gallery-style presentation is favoured by artists and collectors. We also offer combi frames and profile 7047 for different aesthetic preferences.
For canvas floater frames, measure the outer dimensions of your stretched canvas — width × height. The floater frame is made to match these dimensions. For canvas boards used in standard picture frames, measure the canvas board size. Contact us with your dimensions if you need advice on the correct fit.
A canvas floater frame has an inner ledge that holds the stretched canvas from behind, leaving a visible gap between the canvas edges and the frame. The canvas appears to 'float' inside the frame. This gives a clean, contemporary gallery look without any portion of the painted image being obscured by the frame rebate.

As direct manufacturers, we offer competitive trade pricing with better rates for larger quantities. We can supply consistent framing across an entire exhibition or collection.

Standard gallery-wrap canvases typically use floater frames with 18–22mm rebate depth. Deeper canvases (38mm+) require frames with matching depth. Our floater frames are available in several depths to accommodate standard and deep-edge canvases. When ordering, note your canvas depth and we will ensure the correct profile is supplied.
Our artist frames are available in natural wood finishes, black (gloss and matte), white (gloss and matte), and stained wood tones including walnut and oak. Natural and black floater frames are particularly popular with artists as they complement artwork without distraction. Custom colour finishing is available for larger orders.
