Article explaining what a floating frame canvas is and why it enhances a traditional canvas print.

Photos on canvas are now mainstream and can be done in most towns and cities and can be found all over the internet. The quality of canvas prints can really vary so shopping around to find the right company is important.

Canvas prints are changing though and there are a number of ways to enhance photos on canvas. A floating frame canvas is a fairly new concept which was only used by top art galleries but it is now been brought into homes by a company called theimagebox.

A floating frame is an inlay picture frame moulding surrounding a traditional style stretched canvas. The frame surrounds the outside of the box canvas usually with a small gap between the outer edge of the frame and the canvas print. The canvas is usually fixed to the outer floating frame with a number of different professional fixings called offsets. The offsets are hidden behind the canvas so from the front it appears that the canvas is floating within the outer frame.

Floating frames are generally used for expensive artwork that sells for thousands of pounds but now any photo or art can be created to have this high end expensive feel for a fraction of the price.

Canvas prints can be surrounded by many styles of floating frame and many picture frame suppliers offer many styles.
