What is a Float Framed Canvas and How it Can Enhance Your Home Decor
Are you tired of the traditional stretched canvas prints? Are you looking for something that stands out and offers a modern, minimalist look? If so, you might want to consider a float (or floating) framed canvas.
What is a float framed canvas and how does is differ from canvas?
A float framed canvas is a standard canvas artwork that has been mounted and stretched over an internal frame with a traditional wooden frame added to the outside of the canvas, creating a floating effect. The float frame provides a physical separation between the canvas and the frame and it allows the edges of the canvas to be seen, giving the piece not only a more modern and minimalist look but a very pleasing and magical floating effect. The difference with a standard canvas is that a canvas simply does not have the outer frame attached to it, see image below to show a side by side between a canvas and a floating framed canvas.
How are floating framed canvas prints made?
At Print Panoramics, we produce float framed canvases that are printed using a 12-colour giclée printer, and the canvas material is a fine art-grade cotton. The internal frames that the canvas is stretched over are made of 38mm European kiln-dried knotless pine, which are strong and straight. The outer float frame is a traditional wooden frame that is expertly put together by our experienced Guild recognised framers.
The float framed canvas is suitable for a wide range of images, including panoramic shots taken with a DSLR camera or your mobile device. They are also perfect for stunning landscape and portrait shots but what sets it apart is a beautiful piece of abstract artwork. If you're after something that really stands out and offers a talking point, then a float framed canvas is it.
In addition to the aesthetic benefits, the float framed canvas also provides a protective barrier between the canvas and the frame, helping to preserve the artwork on canvas for a longer period of time. We offer 6 outer frame colours: black, white, brown, natural, antique gold, and antique silver. And with our 100+ year colour promise, you can be sure that your canvas will retain its vibrant colours for years to come.
