Description
Aluminium Floating Frame for Your Existing Canvas
Give an existing stretched canvas a clean, contemporary finish with an Aluminium Floating Frame for Canvas. The aluminium construction creates a crisp frame profile around the artwork while a visible reveal between the canvas and outer frame produces the distinctive floating presentation.
This is a frame-only product for customers who already own a stretched canvas. Measure your existing artwork carefully and provide the actual canvas dimensions required when ordering.
Canvas printing and stretching are not included.
Aluminium Construction
A metal frame option with a clean, defined profile suited to modern canvas presentation.
Frame Only
Designed for customers who already have a finished stretched canvas and only need the outer floating frame.
Floating Reveal
A visible gap separates the canvas from the aluminium outer frame, adding depth without covering the front edges of the artwork.
Eight Frame Colours
Choose from matte, metallic, textured and wood-look finishes to complement your artwork.
What Is an Aluminium Floater Frame for Canvas?
An aluminium floater frame for canvas is an outer frame designed to surround a stretched canvas while leaving a visible space between the artwork and frame. This gap creates the impression that the canvas is floating independently inside the frame.
Unlike a conventional picture frame that can overlap the front edge of an image, a canvas floater frame allows the complete front surface of the stretched artwork to remain visible.
Why Choose an Aluminium Floating Frame?
Aluminium creates a noticeably different visual character from polymer and solid wood floating frames, making it especially suitable when you want a cleaner, more architectural outer edge around the canvas.
Clean Metal Profile
Aluminium gives the frame a precise, contemporary appearance that works particularly well with modern interiors and photographic artwork.
Metallic Finish Options
Titanium Gold, Champagne Gold and Brushed Silver provide a distinctly metallic alternative to traditional timber-style framing.
Contemporary Presentation
Matte and textured finishes can create a restrained frame boundary while keeping attention focused on the canvas itself.
Wood-Look Alternatives
Light Wood-Look and Walnut Wood-Look combine the aluminium frame structure with warmer decorative finishes.
Order the Frame for Your Existing Canvas
Please measure your actual stretched canvas before ordering. The frame should be selected according to the canvas you physically own rather than an assumed finished outside frame size.
Exact Size of Your Existing Canvas (in cm)
Measure the outside width and height of your existing stretched canvas from edge to edge.
Depth of Your Existing Canvas
Measure the depth of the stretched canvas from front to back and select the corresponding option available on the product.
Frame Colour
Choose from eight aluminium frame colours and decorative finishes.
Choose the Aluminium Frame Finish That Suits Your Artwork
The eight finishes allow the same aluminium frame style to move from understated and contemporary to warmer or more decorative presentations.
Matte White & Matte Black
Clean neutral finishes suited to minimalist interiors, photography, monochrome artwork and modern canvas designs.
Titanium Gold & Champagne Gold
Metallic gold finishes can introduce a more decorative edge around portraits, wedding imagery, abstract art and sophisticated interiors.
Brushed Silver & Textured Grey
Cooler finishes work naturally with contemporary photography, architectural artwork, neutral interiors and modern commercial spaces.
Light Wood-Look & Walnut Wood-Look
Warmer wood-look finishes provide an alternative when you prefer a more natural visual character while retaining an aluminium frame.
How to Measure Your Existing Canvas
Measure the stretched canvas itself rather than your wall space or the finished outside dimensions you expect the aluminium floating frame to have.
Measure the Width
Measure from the outside left edge of the stretched canvas to the outside right edge.
Measure the Height
Measure from the outside top edge of the stretched canvas to the outside bottom edge.
Measure the Depth
Measure from the front surface of your canvas to the back edge of the stretcher frame.
Important: Enter Your Canvas Dimensions, Not the Finished Frame Size
Please enter the actual outside size of the existing stretched canvas you want to frame.
You do not need to calculate the floating reveal or final outside dimensions of the aluminium frame yourself.
Assembly: The aluminium floating frame is supplied unassembled and requires assembly before installation around your stretched canvas.
A Metal Floating Frame for Modern Canvas Artwork
A metal floating frame for canvas can give existing artwork a more architectural presentation than a traditional timber-style frame. The precise outer edge works particularly well where clean lines and contemporary materials are already part of the interior.
Photography
Black, silver and grey aluminium finishes can create a clean border around photographic canvas artwork.
Abstract Art
Metallic or matte finishes can provide a defined outer edge without covering the texture or colour of the canvas.
Portrait & Wedding Canvas
Gold and champagne finishes can introduce a warmer decorative detail around portraits and special-event artwork.
Contemporary Interiors
Aluminium frames work naturally in modern homes, offices, studios and commercial spaces with clean architectural detailing.
Contemporary Framing for Australian Interiors
The clean character of an aluminium canvas floater frame works well with many interior directions seen in Australian homes and workplaces, from modern and minimalist rooms to coastal, neutral and architectural spaces.
