Floater Frames

Have you seen these frames and wondered what they are used for? They are called floater frames. Instead of the frame sitting on top of your art, a floater frame rests under your art. It is a frame designed to lay behind a painting or stretched art to make the art appear as if it were ‘floating’ within the frame.

Why would you use a floater frame? Floater frames:

  • Allow the viewer to see the sides of a canvas

  • Give stability to a canvas and prevent warping

  • Can appear minimal or invisible

  • Are available in a variety of colors, sizes and materials

When using a floater frame, the depth of the stretcher bars is a matter of preference, based on the look you want. Ask us about your options. Either way, when using a floater frame, it is best to have the edges painted (even if it is painted black) since a little edge will show.
