About Gallery Wrap Stretcher Bars

The very rare gallery wrap stretcher bars have always been an owner’s pride. These bars are of very high quality that mainly caters to the gallery wrapped canvas print segment. Generally, they are made up of wood like Pine or Cedar. A canvas stretcher is a structure of bars that are arranged to form a frame to hold a canvas and thereby, provide a smooth surface for an artist to work upon. They are found in varied lengths and depths and can easily smoothen out any creases in the canvas. Finished work is also left by an artist on stretcher bars to dry out. The canvas is put on these bars with the help of staples. The canvas should be very carefully stretched to ensure that it is not pressed against the bars and cause lines to appear. Online guides are also available to learn how to assemble stretcher bars for a perfect frame.

Some dealers also provide additional services such as replacement guarantees and delivery to the desired location. Although a canvas stretcher can be found in standard dimensions, many dealers also offer services to customize the dimensions on request of their clients. You can also get them in your specific color, size and wood. As these bars are very important for any artwork, many artists prefer to buy them in bulk which also saves a lot of money.
