Floater Frames

Floater frames create the illusion that your artwork is floating within the frame instead of being covered by the frame. In order to achieve this look you will need to have your canvas print stretched. All of my original artwork I create on canvas are placed in floater frames . I like the way it showcases the art in a simple modern way. If you would like to try and achieve the same look with your canvas art prints, below are some details you will need to follow but as always be sure to check with the framer you will be using to see what their requirements are in order to stretch and frame your canvas print.

You can have varying depths of stretched canvas and floater frames but to achieve the look similar to my original art see below for a helpful guide.

1.5” width gallery stretched canvas print.

• 1.5” depth stretcher bars

• 1.5” mirrored printed side + extra 2” white boarder Add-On

• Protective Matte Varnish Add On - optional but recommended especially for larger prints

2” depth floater frame

• 1.5” rabbet - this means the frame can accommodate a 1.5” depth stretched canvas.

• Unfinished maple or another light natural wood

You can choose to have a smaller depth stretched canvas and rabbet and still have a 2” depth floater frame. You will just need to make sure the canvas print you have stretched by your framer has the accompanied depth to fit into the frame/rabbet. For example if you decide you want to have your print stretched on 1” depth stretcher bars you will need a 1” depth rabbit in your floater frame regardless of the actual depth of the frame itself.
