What are Floater Frames?

Floater frames are a sleek and contemporary style of picture frame designed specifically to create a modern floating effect for artwork, most commonly gallery-wrapped canvas prints. Unlike traditional frames that cover the edges of a piece, floater frames mount the artwork slightly away from the inner edge of the frame. This creates a visible gap or shadowbox effect around the edges, making the art appear as if it is suspended or floating effortlessly without visible edges.

Key features and benefits of floater frames include:

• Visual Appeal: They enhance the visual depth and contemporary look of an artwork, making them ideal for gallery-quality displays in homes or offices.
• Customization: They are available in various moulding profiles, finishes such as matte or gloss, and different depths to match the thickness of the canvas.
• Protection and Preservation: These frames help protect artwork from dust and warping. Quality options often use archival materials and UV-resistant components to ensure long-term preservation.
• Versatility: While perfect for canvases, they are also used for other deep artwork or items like jersey framing.
