Description
A Frame for the 16x24 Canvas You Already Own
Finish an existing canvas print or painting with a separate outer frame. This 16x24 floating frame leaves a visible reveal around the stretched canvas, defining its outline while keeping the complete front surface of the artwork visible.
The inch size converts to 40.64 cm x 60.96 cm. Use that conversion to identify the format, then measure the canvas itself for your order. The frame is prepared using the actual outside dimensions you supply.
16x24 Inches and 40 x 60 cm: Close, but Different
When choosing a 16x24 canvas floater frame, compare physical dimensions rather than size labels alone. The table shows exact conversions for common labels; a finished stretched canvas can still differ from its advertised dimensions.
| Canvas size label | Dimensions in centimetres | How it compares |
|---|---|---|
| 16 x 24 inches | 40.64 cm x 60.96 cm | The nominal canvas format for this product |
| 40 cm x 60 cm | 40 cm x 60 cm | Same 2:3 proportion, but smaller in both dimensions |
| 16 x 20 inches | 40.64 cm x 50.8 cm | Same short side; the long side is 10.16 cm shorter |
| 18 x 24 inches | 45.72 cm x 60.96 cm | Same long side; the short side is 5.08 cm wider |
Portrait or Landscape? Record the Dimensions This Way
The 16 x 24 inch format has a 2:3 proportion. It can be displayed vertically or horizontally; record width x height in the orientation in which you plan to display the artwork.
Portrait: Taller Than It Is Wide
For a vertically displayed canvas, width runs across the shorter side and height runs along the longer side.
Nominal reference: width 40.64 cm x height 60.96 cm.
Landscape: Wider Than It Is Tall
For a horizontally displayed canvas, width runs across the longer side and height runs along the shorter side.
Nominal reference: width 60.96 cm x height 40.64 cm.
Check the Canvas You Have, Not Just Its Original Label
A canvas bought from another printer or an artist can be suitable. Its source is less important than its actual dimensions, thickness and stretcher construction.
Check the Outside Edges
Measure the complete stretched canvas, including the fabric wrapped over the stretcher bars. Check width near both ends and height along both sides so you can spot uneven edges.
If the readings differ, or the canvas has bowed bars or corners that are out of square, send us the measurements and clear photos before ordering.
Match the Actual Canvas Depth
Measure from the front face of the canvas to the back edge of its supporting stretcher frame. The available depth options are 2 cm, 3 cm and 4 cm.
Select the matching option. For a depth between the listed sizes, such as 3.5 cm, ask us to confirm suitability rather than rounding up or down.
Choose the Finish and Plan the Space Around Your Canvas
Consider both the border you want to see around the image and the space available for the completed framed artwork.
Choose Against the Artwork Edges
Look at the colours nearest the edge of your canvas when comparing the available frame finishes. A contrasting finish gives the perimeter more definition; a quieter tone can create a softer transition to the wall.
Use the product images and current colour options to guide your choice. If a particular frame material matters to you, confirm the material of that finish before ordering.
Allow for the Complete Outer Frame
The finished display will be larger than the canvas because the outer frame and floating reveal add to its dimensions. The 16x24 name describes the nominal canvas format, not the final outside frame size.
If the artwork must fit an alcove, an existing wall arrangement or a limited space, ask us to confirm the finished outside dimensions for your chosen option.
