If you aren't a fan of the frameless look, if your canvas has imporant elements close to edges or if your gallery wrapped canvas print or original painting is looking a bit ragged around the edges, a floater frame is exactly what you need.
Canvases, mounted on stretcher bars, sit neatly on the inside lip of these simple, stylish frames to create a "floating" effect.
Whether your canvas is a thin (3/4 inch) or thick (2+ inch) wrap, whether you're looking for a simple matte border or a gold-edged modern masterpiece, a beautiful, solid wood floater picture frame is the answer.
Please note unlike traditional frames that cover a portion of the artwork's edges, a floater frame is constructed in a way that the artwork appears to "float" within the frame, leaving a small gap between the edges of the artwork and the frame itself. This design gives the artwork a modern and minimalist look, and it can create the illusion that the artwork is suspended within the frame.

Types of Canvas Floater Frames and How to install your canvas into a floater frame:
Before placing your order...
Please review the following important information before placing your order:
Select Exact Artwork Size:
Enter the exact width and height of your canvas artwork.
Do not add any extra space to your measurements.
Standard Floating Gap:
We automatically include approximately 1/4" gap on each side
to create the floating effect. No-gap options are not recommended, as the floating gap is essential to this frame style.
Match Canvas & Frame Depth:
Ensure your canvas thickness (depth) closely matches the
floater frame depth for a proper fit and clean appearance.
Measure Accurately:
Always measure your canvas width, height, and depth precisely to avoid fit issues.
Allow Proper Tolerance:
A slight clearance ensures easy installation and prevents pressure on the canvas edges.
Select Face Width & Finish:
Narrow frames create a modern feel, while wider profiles make a bold statement.
Choose a finish that complements your artwork and space.
Hardware Included:
All required mounting hardware is included for secure and easy installation.
If you are unsure about sizing or compatibility, please contact us before ordering.
