A Flawless Presentation of Your Canvas Artwork
Your canvas artwork deserves to be presented in the best possible way, and in many cases, this may warrant having your canvas stretched by an experienced professional.
With our specialized canvas stretching in Toronto, you can feel confident that your artwork will be handled with the utmost care and attention to detail, to be beautifully showcased in your personal space for years to come.
What Is Canvas Stretching?
Canvas stretching is a specialized framing technique used primarily for canvas artworks. This framing technique involves the professional stretching of a canvas painting, print or photograph over a wooden frame (technically termed “stretcher bars”), in order to create a smooth, taut and level surface for presentation.
Furthermore, stretched canvases can be framed or displayed without any need for glass materials, allowing the beautiful texture and detailed brushstrokes of the artwork to be fully appreciated.
Benefits of Canvas Stretching
Anyone with a valuable canvas artwork should choose an experienced and local professional to perform their canvas stretching, as this technique offers a variety of benefits including:
Enhanced Presentation: Canvas stretching will enhance the appearance of your artwork through creating a visually appealing, taut appearance worthy of display.
Preserving Your Art’s Integrity: Canvas stretching will go a long way to preserve your art through preventing any unfortunate sagging, creasing, or warping over time, while also ensuring its longevity through providing the right support and tension.
Customized To Your Taste: Allen Gallery Framing offers customizable options for your stretched canvas, including a variety of stretcher bar depths to create a personalized finished product.
What Goes Into Canvas Stretching at Allen Gallery Framing?
The process of canvas stretching begins with examining and assessing the condition of your canvas artwork, and discussing your framing goals with you to determine the best approach.
Next, our Toronto framer will attach the canvas to high-quality stretcher bars using staples or tacks to pull the material tightly across the wooden frame, with meticulous care taken to ensure an even tension applied to all sides.
Once the canvas is evenly and securely attached to the stretcher bars, any excess material is neatly trimmed away, and the back of the frame is generally covered with backing paper for a finished appearance. The result is one that is professional, clean and striking.
If desired, we can further enhance your canvas artwork at any point with any of our custom framing options.
