One of the most widely used and constantly required tools by artists from various parts of the world is the canvas stretcher bars. It is used for stretching and holding the canvas in place to create a smooth and leveled surface for painting, needle work, embroidery etc. The better the quality of frame the easier it is to stretch the canvas without causing too must tension on the fabric or the artist.
Made with best quality wood with minimum knots, these frames are capable of stretching even large canvases. These stretchers strips are made with kiln dried fir or pine wood that are sectioned together to give the frames dimensional stability and prevents them from bending and twisting due to humidity or constant stretching.
Canvas stretcher bars come in different shapes and sized to meet the artist’s requirements and fit the canvas size. The variety of frames available with the online dealers are light duty frames for small canvases, standard frames are the most preferred by artists, goldilocks give the art work a side profile view, midi is generally preferred by artists that need the a heavy duty frame at a good price and super heavy duty stretcher strips are used for stretching large canvases and are the strongest frames. Made with light weight and straight grained wood these frames are light and have beaded round and raised edges that allows easy stretching and holds the canvas away from the wood, this prevents the chances of tearing or scratching the fabric while stretching.
