Float frames are a contemporary way of framing stretched canvases. They sit underneath and around your stretched canvas and include a 1/4" or so gap around the canvas. Visually the gap creates a shadow area that makes the canvas appear as if it is floating within the frame. Float frames come in black, white, gold, silver, and wood tones. Some are thin (3/8") and some are thicker (1") around the canvas. The come in a range in depths to handle stretched canvases that are 1/2" to 2" in depth. With a float frame around stretched canvases, glass isn't used, but rather the canvas itself is directly visible. Float frames typically are medium in weight since there isn't any glass.

We regularly have on inventory many sizes of Readymade Frames. These are frames that we make with any extra moulding we have left over from frames we have made. This moulding is of excellent quality, but because it has a specific size and is already made, we are able to offer these at reduced prices. The majority of these frames range in size from 5x7 to 11x14, but we also have some that are larger such as 16x20, 16x24, and 18x24. This can be an economical way of getting your giclees framed. For canvas and metal giclees you will want the size to match that of your printed art, but for giclees on art or luster paper, you can purchase a readymade at the same time as adding one or two mats that fill out the space between your art and the frame. So for example, you could print your art as a 5x7 and then add a 1.5" mat all around (3" total beyound the art) and frame it with a 8x10 Readymade Frame. For canvas or metal giclees, glass isn't needed, but for giclees on art and luster paper, glass is needed to conserve your giclee over many generations.

Shadowboxes come in a variety of colors and depths. They are effective for framing memorabilia and objects of art such as shells, keys, shoes, tickets, guns, dishware, masks, sportballs, and jerseys.

Fillets are narrow, accent mouldings that can be used inside frames and mats to enhance a work of art. Fillets can be used in a variety of ways. They can highlight or to add punch and a three dimensional quality to the art. By choosing the style, color, and width of fillets, you are able to customize and upgrade your art, and the result is fabulous!

Instead of rectangular frames, for certain art or memorabilia, other shaped frames can be used. In this example the center logo patch influenced the overall shape to be a hexagon.
