We started making these frames in
response to requests for an elegant and affordable framing
option. These work beautifully!
Just drop canvas into the
the frame, secure in back with the included
brackets
and screws, and hang! Your art will "float" in the
frame.
We have two kinds of black
floater frames. The 1.5” and 2.5” deep ones have one kind
of finish, and the 1.25” and the 2” deep ones, another.
The former is slightly more glossy; the wood grain is visible
under the paint. The latter has an eggshell finish; you
can’t see the wood grain under the paint.
The maple and the fir have the same profile. The main difference
between
the maple and doug fir is that the maple is
lighter in color and less grainy than the fir. It’s also
more consistent in appearance from stick to stick. The fir is
reddish in color, more grainy, and is more variable in
appearance. The fir is also lighter in weight than
the maple; the maple is a harder wood. The doug fir is
more rustic/warmer. The maple is more muted and slightly
heavier.
