STRETCHING SERVICE

Custom Frames are one of the few specialists who provide a canvas stretching service for non-standard and large format work. Our staff will expertly make the canvas stretcher specifically to your canvas to allow for any stretch of the material as each type of canvas/material has its own characteristics.

 

OUR MATERIALS

We use FSC certified good quality timber that is made up from many smaller sections that are laminated and finger joined together. This not only produces extremely straight

lengths for us to work but prevents the canvas stretcher frame from twisting once the canvas has been fitted.

The stretchers come in three depths 17, 30, and 45 mm sections however if you have a special required depth we’ll be able to produce it.

For our Dye-Sublimation canvases which can be used for exterior use Terrace’s, patio’s etc we have developed a Cedar stretching frame with stainless steel and solid brass fixings

 

BOX STRETCHERS

For some types of ink jet canvases they are required to be bonded onto a solid board either for stability reasons or to avoid damage to the canvas if hung in public areas such as hotels, bars, nightclubs or restaurants. The canvas stretcher is made in the usual way but finished with a solid 4mm face, once the canvas has been fitted this will appear to look like a normal stretched canvas.
