  • Our floater frames provide a clean, attractive & inexpensive way to frame your canvas art
  • Made of solid hardwood pre-finished in black, white, dark brown, black with gold/pewter/silver top, natural clearcoat, or unfinished (Please note that unfinished and natural clearcoat look identical as the low-gloss coating is totally clear. Natural variations in wood colour and grain will appear.)
  • Cut to any length you need within 1/32 of an inch
  • Floating frames are shipped disassembled – frame corners use a sturdy and very effective dovetail key to align and assemble the frame quickly and easily
  • Available online up to 84" - please contact us for larger sizes
  • Typically ship in 5-10 business days (please let us know if you have a specific deadline)
  • Custom profiles can be made to meet your specific framing requirements

Eight attractive finishes to choose from (those below plus Unfinished):

Choose your frame size

Includes frame bars, dovetail keys for corners, eye screws, and screws to mount your canvas in the frame. Our profiles fit canvases up to 2" deep (as noted).

Enter the exact height and width of the STRETCHED CANVAS YOU ARE WANTING TO FRAME, using decimal fractions only: ie 12.75 for 12-3/4 inch. Check this decimal conversion chart if unsure.

Note: Please make sure that the artwork you are framing is adequately keyed-out (the canvas is properly tightened) before measuring so that you are certain of the final size; corners tend to be the widest part of a stretched canvas due to the canvas folds – please measure accurately in several places so that we can calculate the correct size to fit around your canvas. IMPORTANT: we add 1/8" to the dimensions you provide us (1/16" per side) to ensure the canvas fits easily into the floater frame.
