Floating Frames for Panels – FAQ
What are floating frames for panels?
Floating frames for panels are designed to hold thin canvas boards or art panels while creating a small gap around the artwork. This gap gives the piece a clean, modern “floating” appearance commonly used in galleries.
What thickness panels do these frames fit?
These floating frames for panels are designed to fit artwork between 1/8" and 1/4" thick, making them ideal for most canvas boards and painting panels.
Can you use floating frames for canvas boards?
Yes, floating frames for panels are perfect for canvas boards because of their shallow depth. They securely hold flat artwork while providing a professional, gallery-style presentation.
What is the difference between panel frames and canvas frames?
Panel frames are designed for thin, rigid surfaces like wood or canvas boards, while canvas frames are made for stretched canvas with deeper profiles. Floating frames for panels have a shallower rabbet to fit flat artwork properly.
How do you mount a panel in a floating frame?
Panels can be mounted using adhesive methods such as Velcro, glue, or mounting tape. This allows the artwork to stay securely in place while maintaining the floating effect.
