Give your canvas the gallery treatment
Loose prints, needlework, and original paintings stretched over solid bars and finished for a clean, professional hang, in Vancouver, WA.
Wrapped clean, or floated in a frame
Every canvas is different. We'll help you pick the finish that fits the artwork and the room, here's how the two compare.
Gallery Wrap
Your canvas is stretched over solid wood bars with the image or a solid color wrapping the edges. Clean, contemporary, and ready to hang with no frame at all.
- Image or color continues around the sides
- Great for photography and modern art
- Lightweight, no glass needed
Floater Frame
The stretched canvas sits inside a frame with a small reveal around it, so the piece appears to float. The look you see on originals in a fine-art gallery.
- Slim gap gives a premium, gallery finish
- Protects and defines the canvas edge
- Wood or metal, in a range of finishes

Floater-Framed Canvas
Tension and squareness are everything
A canvas is only as good as the stretch behind it. Loose corners ripple, sag, and warp the image over time. We stretch each piece by hand over solid, keyed stretcher bars, pull it evenly, and square every corner so the surface stays taut and flat for the long haul.
From there it's your call: a frameless gallery wrap for a clean, modern statement, or a floater frame that lifts the canvas into fine-art territory. Either way you walk out with a piece that's wired, balanced, and ready to hang the day you get it home.
Canvas & stretching questions
I have a rolled canvas print, can you stretch it?
Yes. Bring in the loose or rolled canvas and we stretch it over solid stretcher bars, square the corners, and finish it either as a gallery wrap or in a floater frame, whichever suits the piece and your space.
What's the difference between a gallery wrap and a floater frame?
A gallery wrap has the image wrapping around the edges of the bars with no frame, clean and modern. A floater frame surrounds the stretched canvas with a small gap so it appears to float, for a more finished, gallery-grade look.
Does a stretched canvas need glass?
Usually not. Canvas is typically displayed without glazing so you can see the texture. For high-value originals in demanding environments we can discuss protective options.
