What is a floating frame?

A floating frame is a solid wood frame for canvas; it is an excellent tool to showcase the artwork or decorative canvases you have chosen. In a room with modern and contemporary decoration, Tableau Dépôt suggests you install a floating frame.

 


As its name suggests, the floating frame will give the impression that the canvas floats inside the frame; this will enhance the value of your canvas in the room.

The floating frame also offers additional protection to the canvas, without covering the edges of the canvas.

At Tableau Dépôt, we offer our customers 3 choices of colors for floating frames:

  • White
  • Black
  • Stainless steel


Unlike merchants and decoration stores that use PVC for their frames, at Tableau Dépôt, we emphasize superior quality by using Roma brand wood.

The false frame, the MUST.

The false frame is one of the most important elements. It receives the canvas and ensures the solidity of the whole.

Tableau dépôt makes no concessions to quality.

Standard or regular false frame

The standard or regular sub-frame is ¾ inches thick, it is very often used for assembling, i.e. canvas in several panels, the fluidity of the image through the different panels and the space between each of them is better. In other words, using a standard sub-frame for an assembly of standard dimensions is highly recommended.

We also use the standard false frame for customers who request a floating frame for their canvas. A floating frame is superimposed on a subframe, so if the subframe is ¾ inches thick, the floating frame will be 1.5 thick, this method will be less expensive for customers, because the floating frame of 1.5 thick is less expensive and less thick visually: more economical and more beautiful. 

False frames Gallery or Profile

The gallery sub-frame has a thickness of 1.5 inches, we generally use it for all canvases, except for standard or small size assemblages or customers who wish to install a floating frame on their canvas.there are sub-frames on the market thicker than 2 inches, it is only on request and the price of the canvas could change.
