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.
