Elevate Your Artwork, Literally and Figuratively

Floater frames, also known as floating or float frames, are a minimalistic style of framing offering a contemporary and elegant appeal.

Contrary to traditional framing methods that enclose the artwork within the frame’s borders, floater frames make the artwork appear as if it’s “floating” or suspended within its frame, which creates a visually astounding effect.

Through creating a space between the artwork and its frame and allowing the edges of the art to remain visible, our Toronto framer carries out this floater technique to add a noticeable depth and dimension to your pieces, further enhancing its overall visual impact.

Float frames can be used for various types of art, including the following:

Canvas Artwork/ Paintings: Float frames are considered to be the preferred method of framing when encasing most canvas or 3-dimensional artworks that do not necessitate the use of glass materials. This framing technique also avoids the use of mats or frame borders. Unlike traditional picture frames that involve the lip of the frame to sit approximately ¼” overtop and surrounding the canvas, floater frames are positioned away from, not over, the canvas by around this same measurement. Additionally, the floater frame will generally sit slightly higher than the surface of the piece, helping to protect the edges of the canvas from damage.

Prints (Two-dimensional Art): Whether you are looking to frame a photographic print, art print, or digital artwork, our float frames in Toronto can offer a stylish and modern appeal to complement your two-dimensional art piece.
Textile Artwork: Floater frames can be used to frame textile or fabric works of art, such as quilts, tapestries and embroidered items.
Three-Dimensional Art: Float frames also possess the versatility to complement different kinds of three-dimensional art pieces, such as sculptures, shadow boxes, and other objects worth displaying.
