Stretcher Bars and Canvas

Aluminium Conservation Bars:
18 mm deep by 62 mm wide solid aluminium stretcher bars for professional and conservation use.
The heavy gauge aluminium has a much lower deflection than wood / aluminium composite bars, so the bars do not distort under tension.
The bars are fitted with a wooden strip at the back for securing the fabric and come supplied with all fittings.

Aluminium Conservation Centre Bar:
Because of the strength of aluminium stretcher bars, cross-bars are not necessary for lengths under 150 cm.
To have a cross-bar on the short dimension the frame needs a solid Centre Bar.
For the longer cross-bar dimension the frame will need a pair of Half Bars.
Centre Bars and Half Bars are secured using Cross-bar Clamps at each end.

All fittings are installed using a 3mm size allen key.

Stretched Canvas & Frame Sets are an economic and easy solution for framing works on canvas.
The canvases are supplied complete with an elegant made-to-measure frame, easily removable for painting.

The canvases are 36mm deep, hand stretched up in our own heavyweight 12oz Acrylic Primed Cotton Duck, suitable for oil or acrylic paints. We use non-warping laminated wood stretcher bars.
The tray frame is 54mm deep and we give the canvas a 5mm shadow gap all around. The face of the frame is 12mm wide, and the obeche wood is ready to be painted, stained or waxed.
Frames are fixed to the rear of the canvas with pre-drilled holes and are easy to unfit.

Please allow up to ten working days for manufacture.
