Why Choose a Float Frame?
Many artists and collectors choose float frames because they provide the definition of a traditional frame while maintaining the clean, contemporary appearance of a stretched canvas.
The result is an artwork that feels finished without appearing enclosed.
The subtle shadow gap around the artwork adds depth, separates the frame from the artwork and naturally draws the eye towards the painting itself.
More Than Just Canvas
Although float frames are most commonly used for stretched canvas paintings, they’re equally effective for artworks mounted onto rigid substrates.
These may include:
Original Paintings • Canvas Prints • Mounted Prints • Mounted Photography • Posters • Timber Panels • Aluminium Composite Panels • Rigid Foamboard Mounted Artwork
The same clean, contemporary presentation can be achieved across a wide variety of artwork types.
Designed Around Your Artwork
Small changes in proportion can dramatically influence the finished presentation.
The width of the frame, depth of the rebate, shadow gap spacing, timber species and finish all contribute to the overall appearance.
Rather than selecting a frame in isolation, we design the float frame around the artwork itself so the final presentation feels balanced and considered.
