Frequently Asked Questions About Framed Canvas
A framed canvas refers to a canvas (either a blank stretched canvas for painting, or a printed canvas) that has been placed inside a frame. For original paintings, this is usually done with a canvas floater frame (tray frame) which creates a floating gap around the canvas edge. For canvas prints, the print is typically stretched on a wooden frame and then placed in a floater frame.
Canvas frames for paintings are specifically designed to display stretched canvas artwork. Unlike standard picture frames (which hold flat prints behind glass), canvas frames have a deeper rebate to accommodate the thickness of a stretched canvas. Our canvas floater tray frames are the most popular choice — available in 2032 (slim), 2044/2048 (standard), and 2055 (deep edge) profiles.
A canvas floater frame (tray frame) is designed specifically for stretched canvases. It has an open back and a raised inner edge so the canvas appears to 'float' inside the frame with a visible gap. A standard picture frame has a rebate that holds flat items (prints, photos) against glass. For canvas paintings, always use a canvas floater frame — standard picture frames cannot accommodate the depth of a stretched canvas.
Choose your canvas frame depth based on your canvas stretcher bar thickness: 2032 frame (20x32mm profile) fits canvases up to 24mm deep, 2044/2048 frame fits standard stretchers up to 40mm, 2055 frame fits deep edge canvases up to 50mm. Measure your canvas depth before ordering. If unsure, contact us — we're happy to advise.
Yes! We offer framed canvas prints as a complete service — we print your image onto premium 380gsm artist canvas, stretch it onto wooden bars, and frame it in a solid wood canvas floater frame. This produces a gallery-quality reproduction print ready to hang. Browse our Framed Canvas Prints collection for full details.
Our canvas frames are available in off-white, gloss white, matte black, and natural wood finishes. Black and off-white are the most popular — black creates a bold contemporary look, while off-white/natural wood gives a more gallery-neutral appearance. All finishes are available across our main tray frame profiles.

Canvas framing is the process of placing a stretched canvas artwork or canvas print into a canvas frame (floater/tray frame). Unlike paper print framing (which uses glass), canvas framing does not require glass as canvas has a textured surface that is not prone to scratching. Canvas framing typically uses a floater frame to create a floating effect that enhances the artwork's presentation.
