    Custom Canvas Frames

    Framing a canvas is a design decision that shapes how the artwork is experienced. While paintings on stretched canvas can stand on their own, a custom frame adds depth, intention, and visual presence. At American Frame, we view framing as part of the architecture that supports and elevates the art itself.

    Canvas float frames, also called floater frames, surround the artwork without covering its edges, creating the impression that the canvas is suspended within a refined structure. This approach adds dimension while preserving the full image and emphasizing the artist’s intent. Our collection offers a range of styles, finishes, and price points to complement both contemporary and traditional work.

    Is it easy to frame a canvas myself?

    Yes. Framing a stretched canvas is very approachable with the right frame and basic tools. We offer a step by step video demonstration that walks you through the process from start to finish for both wood and metal canvas float frames.

    How do I choose the right frame depth for my canvas?

    Measure the depth of your canvas by checking the thickness of the stretcher bars along the sides. Choose a float frame with a rabbet (R) depth that closely matches or is slightly deeper than your canvas to ensure a proper fit and clean presentation.

    What is the difference between a canvas float frame and a traditional frame?

    A float frame creates a visible space between the canvas and the frame, allowing the artwork’s edges to remain fully visible and giving the piece a contemporary, gallery style look. Traditional frames sit over the edge of the artwork, which changes the visual relationship between the frame and the art.

    How do I choose a frame style that works with my artwork?

    Consider the artwork’s scale, color palette, and overall mood. Minimal profiles often complement modern or abstract work, while warmer woods and deeper profiles can add richness and structure to more traditional pieces.

    Can I get help choosing the right frame or see samples before ordering?

    Absolutely. Our framing experts are available to help you select the right frame for your artwork, and samples are available so you can see finishes and profiles in person before making a decision.
