What is a Float Frame? :
A float is a minimalist frame option sometimes used when framing
art on canvas. The painting drops into the front of the frame so none
of its front surface is covered. This is especially beneficial when the
painting continues from the front down the sides of the canvas or
when an important part of the subject comes so close to the edge of
the art that it would be covered with the lip of a standard frame. As
most float frames are very simple profiles, another, more decorative,
frame can be added around it to bring out the personality of your art.
Mat Quality:
Not all mats are created equally. Mats made from 100% cotton rag or
alpha-cellulose are the best choices. Standard paper mats are highly
acidic. They can discolor, much like newspaper. The acid in paper mats
also migrates out and can damage the art. We always advise the use of
better quality mats, both to protect your art and to prolong the integrity
of the frame designs you purchase from us.
