How to order individual bars
For one complete stretcher frame, always order two identical lengths for the width and two identical lengths for the height:
- 40 × 63 cm → 2 × 40 cm + 2 × 63 cm
- 33 × 60 cm → 2 × 33 cm + 2 × 60 cm
Canvas & sizing guidance
- Allow at least 5 cm extra fabric on each side of the frame.
- Stretch evenly, finishing the corners last.
- Use the supplied wedges to fine-tension the canvas.
Choosing between 45 mm and 65 mm
When is 45 mm the right choice?
- Smaller, lightweight canvases (e.g., 30×40, 40×50, 40×80 cm).
- When the artwork will be displayed in a frame.
When to opt for 65 mm?
- Larger formats that benefit from extra rigidity.
- Unframed wall display.
- Easy to add centre or cross braces.
Note: 45-mm and 65-mm systems are not interchangeable.
Braces & cross-braces
- 45 mm: usually unnecessary for small sizes; extra bracing available on request.
- 65 mm: add a centre brace for long rectangles or a cross for large squares.
Material & sustainability
- Spruce wood — finger-jointed for straight, stable bars.
- Classic/Museum — laminated to reduce warping.
- PEFC-certified from responsibly managed forests.
